Homer: Mr. Pote, Homer Simpson here. When you sold me this house, you forgot to mention one little thing. You didn't tell me it was built on an Indian burial ground! [pause] NO, YOU DIDN'T! [pause] Well, that's not my recollection. [pause] Uh-huh... okay, well all right. Good-bye. [hangs up the phone and turns to Marge] He says he mentioned it five or six times.

TRIVIA

This episode dispenses with the usual opening credits and cuts straight into the action.
Harry Shearer provides the voice of the house in the first segment.
The only "Treehouse of Horror" to use the tree house motif and is so far one of two "Treehouse of Horrors" that don't use the spooky names. The second is "Treehouse of Horror XIII".
Very first episode whose score was composed by Alf Clausen who has scored every episode since then.
The closing theme tune is played on a harpsichord. Originally it was supposed to be a theremin but that particular instrument is unable to hit all the notes in the theme music.
