Treehouse of Horror XXXII

"The future: a dark, desolate world. A world of learning, suffering, schoolwork on both sides. Students, and the parents who dared to help them, fighting an enemy we cannot defeat. Are we destined down this path, destined to educate ourselves like so many species before us? Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves... change our fate? Is the future truly set?"

- Bart's voiceover, describing the dark future, before the title card appears (Simpsons: Learning of Future Past)

Opening:
While watching the new A Nightmare on Elm Street movie, Professor Frink accidentally fires his new ray-gun. This inadvertently causes horror movie icons (including Pennywise, Leatherface, Ghostface, Jason Voorhees, Pamela Voorhees, Xenomorphs, Predators and Freddy Krueger) to jump out of the screen and lay waste to Springfield. Jason, Freddy, Ghostface and Leatherface crash a party at the Simpsons household. Homer attempts to fend of Leatherface, but Leatherface gains the upperhand, and pins Homer to the ground. Homer screams as Leatherface raises his chainsaw but just before kills him, the screen cuts to black. The words "TREEHOUSE OF HORROR" are shot onto the screen (in red) letter by letter. The roman numerals for 32 (XXXII) are shot onto screen just after (also in red) while Homer's screams are abruptly cut off after we hear Leatherface's chainsaw

The Homernator:
The Terminator-styled title card appears with the Terminator music playing in the background. It then cuts to a dystopian Springfield. The camera zooms through the destroyed town. Homer's voiceover reveals that new robots called Typhoid-62s have been controlling Springfield. Starting out as helpful nuclear plant employees, they eventually got a sense of the greater good and launched all of Springfield's missiles against the town, ruining it. Homer is among one of the last vigilantes who hunts the robots down. Homer realizes that the robots are following commands after he interrogates a robot at the old Hibbert Family House. The house is attacked by robots, and while fending them off, Homer loses an eyeball, an arm and a leg. An alive Dr. Julius Hibbert replaces Homer's lost eye with and infrared-targeting headpiece. He replaces Homer's lost arm with an arm made bionic space material allowing to shape-shift into things with or without moving parts. Having run out of supplies, he replaces Homer's lost leg with a pegleg. Homer teams up with Moe and together they find out where the robots have been hiding. Hoer realizes that he was bonded with the robots after the nuclear plant exploded. Homer and Moe infiltrate the robot headquarters. Homer sacrifices himself by setting off magnetic field bombs, disintegrating all the robots, the queen robot and himself (due to his bond). The whole story is revealed to be a tape recording that a 209-year old Moe is listening to just before he dies peacefully.

Simpsons: Learning of Future Past:
The screen cuts to dystopian world in 5023, where people have been enslaved and enrolled by autonomous robotic principals. Bart gives a voiceover describing the dark future. The title card appears, Days of Future Past-style. A group of outcasts (Kumiko (Kitty Pryde), Bart (Logan), Lisa (Storm), Maggie (Warpath), McBain (Colossus), Milhouse (Professor X), Jimbo (Magneto), Apu (Bishop), Snake (Iceman), Jessica Lovejoy (Blink) and Martin (Sunspot)) evade a bunch of principals. They escape to Mr Burns' mansion. Milhouse explains the catalyst for the dark future. 50 years ago in 4973 Skinner had implemented a new learning solution: schools on every street. This lead to the creation robotic principals who were built with handheld devices that shoot out electrical stun-beams to capture people and enroll them in schools. Bart's consciousness is sent back into his younger body in 4073 (he is the only one able to survive the process's mental strain) where he finds a younger Milhouse and Nelson. and together with Dolph's help they break Jimbo Jones out of Springfield State Penitentiary. The group find out that Skinner is heading to Nevada to present his idea. They fly there but when they find Skinner, they are arrested by the security guards, because of Jimbo's criminal past. They escape the guards and after getting back to Springfield, they find out that Skinner has received board approval and the unveiling for his idea is to be held in Washington D.C. The group arrives in Washington just in time for the unveiling. In 5023, a bunch of principals manage to find the outcasts. The group interrupts the unveiling and battle Skinner while in the future, the outcasts are rounded up, attempting to buy Bart more time in the past. Skinner mortally wounds Jimbo and fatally injures Bart. Skinner attempts to kill Jimbo. The principals successfully round up all of the outcasts but while firing their stun-guns at the remainders, the Bart stuck in 4073 saves Jimbo by assassinating Skinner, successfully erasing the dark future. In the past, Milhouse rushes Jimbo and Bart to Springfield General Hospital while the future Bart wakes up to a more pleasant version of the year 5023.
