It was a Saturday evening in Springfield; the Simpsons had just finished eating dinner. "OK kids," Marge said," now what movie do you want to watch tonight?" Bart's hand shot up," Oh, let's watch The Ring!" Lisa sighed,"Bart, I don't know about you, but that's way too scary for Maggie. How about the Itchy and Scratchy movie?" Marge sighed,"Well, if you kids are going to argue, then maybe I should pick the movie. There's this movie I haven't seen in a while, and it's called Edward Scissorhands." She found a DVD and put it in the DVD player and said," Let's give it a try, okay? I'll make some popcorn." "Mmm... popcorn," Homer said aloud, drooling. So the Simpsons sat down on the couch. Marge made a large bowl of popcorn and Homer helped himself to a Duff Beer and the movie started. They watched as Peg Boggs discovered Edward's mansion. "Wow, she's brave," Bart commented. They watched as Kim Boggs was introduced and was frightened by Edward when she first saw him. "Why is she so scared of the nice man?" Homer demanded. "She just saw him, Dad," Lisa answered,"she has no idea what he's really like." They watched as Edward started trimming things with his hands. "It looks like he realized how he can't use those hands to help people," Lisa observed. They watched as Kim's boyfriend Jim tricked Edward into breaking into his house. "Ay caramba, that guy is in trouble," Bart yelped. "You're one to talk; you always get in trouble," Lisa pointed out. "Hey, quit it," Bart snapped and pinched her. "Kids, watch the movie," Marge said. They watched as Edward made an ice sculpture and accidentally cut Kim's hand. "You should watch where you're pointing those things," Homer called out. "Homer, he didn't mean to hurt her; Jim distracted him," Marge said. They watched as all the neighbors looked for Edward. Maggie sucked her pacifier in fear and Santa's Little Helper stood on his hind legs his paws touching the screen when he saw another dog. They all watched as Kim helped Edward get back to his mansion and told him she loved him, and the movie ended with Edward up in his mansion making ice sculptures. Homer wiped a tear from his eye,"Oh Marge, why didn't she ever visit him?" "Didn't you pay attention, Dad?" Lisa asked. "She wanted him to remember her the way she was young." "So what, did she think he wouldn't love when she was an old lady?" Homer demanded. "Oh Marge, I promise that won't happen with you and me." The family all just sat there quietly. Until Bart asked, "Can we watch it again sometime?" Marge nodded.
The next day Lisa asked,"Did the guy who directed Edward Scissorhands make any other movies?" "Why, yes he did," Marge answered," and his name is Tim Burton." "This is the perfect opportunity for me to show you another one of his movies," Homer exclaimed,"it's called The Nightmare Before Christmas." "Homer, that movie was directed by Henry Selick not Tim Burton," Marge pointed out. "Yes but he was the producer and the movie is based on his poem," he replied, "What do you think kids, are you going to trust your father that this movie is good?" "Okay, let's watch it," Lisa and Bart agreed. Homer found the DVD but when he opened the DVD player a very flat donut popped out. "Homer, what was that doing there?" Marge demanded as the movie started. "Ooh, I love this music," Bart said as This is Halloween was playing. "This music and the music for most Tim Burton movies is written by Danny Elfman," Marge explained." They watched Jack singing and Sally watching him from afar. "Is she a stalker?" Bart asked." Why you little..." Homer snapped at Bart, "Sally is in love with Jack." They watched as Jack discovered Christmas Town. "Why can't that be me?" Homer asked. "I would love to discover Christmas Town." They watched as Jack tried to explain Christmas to the monsters of Halloween Town."I think I could have done a better job explaining Christmas to them," Lisa said." But you would just start talking about its history and stuff," Bart informed his sister, "they would all fall asleep before you could finish." "Shut up Bart," Lisa snapped. "Kids!" said Marge. They watched as Jack decided Halloween Town would do Christmas and the monsters made creepy toys. Maggie sucked on her pacifier and seemed very interested in the scene. They watched Oogie Boogie sing."His lair is paradise," Homer said." Don't even think about it, Homer," Marge said. They watched as Zero guided Jack's sleigh. Santa's Little Helper ran around in circles barking at the screen while Bart and Lisa laughed. They watched as Jack fought Oogie Boogie. "Woo Hoo," Homer cheered when the battle was over. They watched as Jack and Sally sang their love song then kissed. Marge and Lisa were awed at the romantic ending. "This is better than Edward Scissorhands," Bart said." Can we watch other movies by Tim Burton?" "Of course Bart," Marge answered. For the next few weeks the Simpsons watched other Tim Burton movies, including Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, and others. They watched Coraline even though they knew Tim Burton had nothing to do with it.
Pretty soon they were obsessed with Tim Burton stories. Bart started receiving more detentions than normal at school for Tim Burton pranks and claims. He dressed up the class skeleton in a pinstriped suit so it looked like Jack (sort of). The kids found it very amusing but Mrs Krabappel did not; she made Bart write: I will not dress up the skeleton. Another time he had said,"I bet Danny Elfman could teach music class." When a few kids rolled their eyes he said,"Well he could." The teacher then made him write: Danny Elfman could not teach music class. Another time he had said, "I found out that I am the reincarnation of Paul Reubens, I know he died only like a year or two ago, but maybe when he did his soul was transferred into me." The teacher made him write: I am not the reincarnation of Paul Reubens. Other times the teacher made him write things like: I did not see Johnny Depp; Beetlejuice did not steal my lunch money; I will not graffiti Tim Burton characters all over the school; I will not yell Beetlejuice three times in the principal's office; I will not use all the scissors to make scissorhands; and Beetlejuice would not be a good substitute teacher. Lisa, on the other hand, would sometimes draw Tim Burton characters on the chalkboard when her teacher left the room but quickly erased them when the teacher came back. Or she would just call other kids names if they insulted those characters. At home Lisa asked,"Bart, who is the best Tim Burton character ever created?" "It's obviously Beetlejuice," he answered." No, it's Sally," Lisa argued. "Beetlejuice!" Bart argued and shoved his sister. "Sally!" Lisa argued and shoved him back."Beetlejuice!" "Sally!" Just then Homer walked in." What's the argument about, kids?" he asked."We're arguing about who is the best Tim Burton character," Bart explained. "You are?" Homer asked,"well, go on I want to see you both fighting about which of those characters is the best. Fight fight fight!" "Homer, don't encourage them," Marge said. Later Homer walked into Bart's room and found him putting up a poster that he was writing over in red marker: Ken..." Bart, who the heck is that?" Homer demanded." That's the only black actor to be in a Tim Burton story, Dad," Lisa explained,"Ken Page." Homer still looked confused," Barbie's boyfriend?" he asked. "No, Ken Page," Lisa corrected, "He voiced Oogie Boogie in the Nightmare Before Christmas." "Oh I didn't need that new fact," Homer groaned,"wait, I like that fact," he decided. The next day Homer showed up at the nuclear power plant in a pinstriped suit."What's up with Homer?" one employee asked. "Homer, I think you should take that silly suit off," another said."Who's Homer?" Homer asked. Later Homer ended up in Mr Burns's office."What is all this blasphemy, Simpson?" he asked."Are we all mad here?" Homer asked, throwing his arms out."Nobody is mad here but you," Mr Burns answered. "I'm the ghost with the most, babe," Homer retorted." Um, sir, I think he's quoting a movie," Smithers said. "Simpson, please take that silly suit off until Halloween night," Mr Burns said, "I suggest you don't dawdle; the hounds will be released in your yard if you keep wearing that at work." "D'oh!" Homer said and walked out to change.
