Even if you're not a watcher of "The Simpsons," one of the FOX series' great annual pleasures is the Halloween "Treehouse of Horror" special, which had its 25th edition Sunday night.

Along with a winking nod to the director's supposed cover-up of the Apollo moon landing (as alleged in Rodney Ascher's neat pomo doc "Room 237"). Here's a clip.
