In common with the majority of the previous Halloween episodes of The Simpsons, "Treehouse of Horror XXVII" is made up of three self-contained stories. The first story, "Dry Hard", is a parody of the Hunger Games series of dystopian young adult novels and movies and the 2015 post-apocalyptic action movie Mad Max: Fury Road. In the second story, "BFF R.I.P.", the 8 year-old girl Lisa Simpson's friends are being murdered by her imaginary friend Rachel (voiced by Sarah Silverman). The third story, "MoeFinger', is a parody of the 2014 British-American spy action-comedy movie Kingsman: The Secret Service and the James Bond franchise.
