The Simpsons - 07x06 Treehouse of Horror VI

Summary: In this year's blood-chilling blockbuster boo-fest, the Simpsons celebrate Halloween with three visions of terror. First, Springfield is destroyed by a band of angry, marauding billboard icons. The Lard Lad, Professor Peanut, and the Duff Cowboy escape their billboards and crush everything in sight until guest star Paul Anka saves the day with a catchy jingle. In the second segment, Groundskeeper Willie picks off the students of Springfield Elementary one-by-one. In a flashback, we learn that Willie was accidentally murdered by the kids' parents, and plans to kill the children in their dreams for revenge. It's up to Bart, Lisa, and a quick-thinking baby Maggie to fight him in dreamland. In the third segment, Homer steps into an alternate dimension, where he becomes a 3-D rendering. He finds that he's trapped in the digital world and all the attempts to save him by Professor Frink, Chief Wiggum and Ned Flanders are useless. Once again, it falls to Bart to save the day, but he fails when the digital universe implodes, sending Homer into an even scarier world: ours.

Trivia

This is the first Treehouse of Horror episode to not have a cemetery motive or tombstones with humorous names in its opening. This is also the first Treehouse of Horror episode to have a short opening.
While Homer is walking in the Third Dimension, he walks by a string of hexadecimal numbers in the background: 46 72 69 6e 6b 20 72 75 6c 65 73 21. In ASCII, this translates to "Frink rules!"
When Homer is in the Third Dimension, we see the equation 1782^12 + 1841^12 = 1922^12. This is an allusion to Fermat's Last Theorem, which holds that if n is greater than 2, there are no non-zero integers x, y, and z such that x^n + y^n = z^n. The equation we see does not work, as 1782^12 + 1841^12 = 2,541,210,258,614,589,176,288,669,958,142,428,526,657, and 1922^12 = 2,541,210,259,314,801,410,819,278,649,643,651,567,616.
