Fish out of water

The horror!

"The Simpsons" celebrates its 28th climb to the "Treehouse of Horror" with a clever parody of "The Exorcist" featuring the voice of that film's director, William Friedkin. But for real chills, stick around for the last installment, in which Homer develops a sweet tooth for ... himself.
