"Treehouse of Horror XXVII" is the fourth episode of the twenty-eighth season of the animated television series The Simpsons, and the 600th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on October 16, 2016.
The episode opens with the Simpsons visiting a Christmas tree lot early on Halloween, only to be locked in and ambushed by Sideshow Bob, the leprechaun from Treehouse of Horror XII, the ghost of Frank Grimes, and Kang. The living members of the revenge group are killed by Maggie Simpson while Frank Grimes' ghost is livid. Scenes from every preceding episode are displayed as Frank Grimes' ghost notes that Hell runs a non-stop 600 episode marathon of the Simpsons, explaining to the viewers "in Hell, they make you watch all of them in a row". Next in a couch gag parodying Planet of the Apes, viewable with Google Cardboard for special content, the Simpson family are captured on a planet populated by living couches, before being rescued by their generic brown couch, which they knock unconscious and proceed to sit on.
In a four-part parody of The Hunger Games and Mad Max: Fury Road, Mr. Burns controls the last of the water supply in a severely drought-stricken Springfield. He makes an announcement to have the children to battle each other to the death in a dome with the survivor allowed to spend a day swimming in his personal reservoir. Lisa Simpson is the selected child from the Nevergreen Terrace neighborhood with Homish as her coach, eventually convincing the population of Springfield to turn against Mr. Burns. But the group immediately regret destroying the reservoir as the water is completely wasted. The people of the town think they are saved when a rain storm starts. However, the storm results in a flood and later an ice age.
