The teaser of "Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror", panel set for Paley Front Row, debuts

A preview of the 2020 episode of The Simpsons Halloween tradition Horror tree house was revealed via the show's official Twitter ahead of its Sunday premiere. Offering a broader perspective on these beloved spooky specials, cast members and creatives will gather Saturday for a special presentation from the Paley Center for Media and partners (select early access on Friday).

The tiny teaser plays on the existential terror of elections as Homer steps into the polling booth and ponders aloud his indecision about the presidential race. Lisa intervenes to ask: "Dad, all in all it's decent, how could you forget everything that has happened in the last four years?" which (after a short hit at the Oscar Envelopegate) triggers a rolling credit list of a Trump presidency highlight - from "Gutted the EPA" and "Put Children in Cages" to "Described Meryl Streep as" Over-rated "".
