The third tale tells of the Simpson family's visit to Mr. Burns' creepy castle in Pennsylvania. Right away, things are seriously amiss as Mr. Burns dressed in a long, red robe and big white poofy sticky bun of snow-white hair (Bram Stoker's Dracula, 1992) and a deformed, shriveled, hunchbacked Mr. Smithers (too many movies to name) answer the door.
At dinner the family are given what appear to be glasses of wine but which are actually full of blood (The Lost Boys, 1987). Lisa and Bart get up from the table to look around the house and find a basement full of coffins (Once Bitten, 1985), as well as a book with a spell that might tell them something of how to stop these creatures of the dead. Then when the undead begin rising from their coffins, Lisa runs away but Bart is bitten by Mr. Burns who changes into a human from a bat (Dracula, 1931). That night, in her room, Lisa is awakened by a floating Bart who wants to enter through her locked window (Salem's Lot, 1979) and when Lisa screams, the rest of the family discovers Bart is a vampire. So it's back to Burns' castle to kill who they assume the Head Vampire is, thinking this will return Bart to normal. But Lisa is mistaken in thinking the Head Vampire is Mr. Burns (The Lost Boys, again).
