It’s the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse (Season 20, “Treehouse of Horror XIX”)
Yes, a Season 20 episode made the cut. Modern Treehouse of Horror segments often feel like lazy parodies, or move too fast to stick with you. But this one—a wonderfully animated parody of Charlie Brown cartoons—is the exception to the usual meh Treehouses of the show’s later years. Millhouse is the perfect stand-in for Linus. Then having the Grand Pumpkin show up, only to become filled with homicidal rage over all the pumpkins we butcher in October, is a silly and murderous twist on Charlie Brown that makes me laugh every time I watch it.
