In common with all previous "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, the program is made up of three self-contained stories; "War and Pieces", "Master and Cadaver" and "Tweenlight". The first story is a parody of the 1995 comedy adventure movie Jumanji. The second story spoofs the 1989 Australian thriller Dead Calm. The final story spoofs vampire fiction, in particular the Twilight series of books and movies. A character who resembles Count von Count is briefly seen in the final story, sucking the blood from another character who resembles Big Bird from Sesame Street.
