In common with all previous Treehouse of Horror episodes, the program is made up of three self-contained stories. In the first story, "School is Hell", the boy Bart Simpson and his sister Lisa find themselves transported to a demonic school. However, Bart finds that he prefers it to his regular school and remains there permanently. As its title suggests, the second story, "A Clockwork Yellow" is a parody of the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange, with references to other movies by director Stanley Kubrick. The third story, "The Others" is a parody of the 2001 Spanish horror film of the same name in which the 2014 version of the Simpson family encounter ghosts of their former selves from 1987.
