The annual Halloween episode, “Treehouse of Horror,” will also deliver this season. “We have what I think is the scariest segment we ever did,” said executive producer Al Jean. “I don’t want to say more.” It’ll also have a 3D parody of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline called “Coralisa,” which features Gaiman as the voice of the cat. In another segment, Maggie will become possessed and The Exorcist star Ben Daniels will voice the role of the priest. “Maggie says, ‘You’re all going to die,’ and Marge is excited,” said Jean, “because it’s Maggie first words.” 

There will also be plenty of big name guest stars throughout the season. Daniel Radcliffe, who has already played the son of Dracula and a boy who enjoys falconry, will cameo as himself in an episode about Bart using Sun Tzu’s The Art of War to destroy Homer. “They go to a Minecraft-like convention and Daniel is there wearing a costume,” said Jean. “That’s how people like him go to conventions without being seen, and Homer unmasks him, and he gets torn to shreds.”

The Simpsons will return to FOX on Oct. 1. Treehouse of Horror XXVIII episode airing Sunday, Oct. 22, (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
