This episode won the 1997 WAC Winner Award for Best Animation Produced for a Television Special. (edit) In "Homer³," the 3.5 minutes of computer animation took about 4 months for PDI to create. The 3D Homer falls into a dumpster on Ventura Blvd. in Encino, CA, instead of an actor in a Homer suit as originally scripted. (edit) List of the Halloween names used by the staff on this episode:

HARRY SHEARER (edit) Opening Gag: Krusty is the Headless Horsemen from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". He throws his head to the camera. It splats and forms the words, "Tree House of Horror VI".
Couch Gag: The family are hanged on nooses. (edit) This is the first time we see a live action sequence on the series. (edit)

Groundskeeper Willie: (after being nearly burnt to death) You'll pay for this…with your children's' blood!
Chief Wiggum: (not serious) Oh, right… How are you going to get them? Skeleton power?
Groundskeeper Willie: I'll strike where you cannot protect them: in their dreams! (edit) Marge: These monsters are destroying everything and everyone we care for! (to Bart and Lisa) And you kids should have jackets on. (edit) Radio: Astronomers from Tacoma to Vladivostok have just reported an ionic disturbance in the vicinity of the Van Allen belt. Scientists are recommending that all necessary precautions be taken.
Homer: (scoffs) Eggheads… What do they know? (edit) Homer: (driving down the road) Aah, the miracle mile... Where value wears a neon sombrero and there's not a single church or library to offend the eye. (sees Lard Lad donut shop) There it is! The chain that put the "fat" in "fat southern sheriff"! (edit) Dr. Hibbert: Homer. This is your physician, Dr. Julius Hibbert. Can you tell us what it's like in there?
Homer: It's like, uh… Has anyone seen the movie Tron?
Dr. Hibbert: No.
Lisa: No.
Marge: No.
Chief Wiggum: No.
Bart: No.
Patty: No.
Chief Wiggum: No.
Ned: No.
Selma: No.
Professor Frink: No.
Reverend Lovejoy: No.
Chief Wiggum: Yes. (chuckles) I mean, no. (edit)

Goof: The writing on the heel of the Lard Lad should make a backward impression on the ground, but is read normally. (edit) In "Homer³", the equation 178212 + 184212 = 192212 appears. (edit) In "Homer³", Homer walks by a floating sign with the following sequence of numbers: 46, 72, 69, 6E, 6B, 20, 72, 75, 6C, 65, 73, 21. Those are hexadecimal numbers, which just happens to be how computers interpret text in the ASCII standard. When translated, it reads: "Frink Rules!" (edit)

Mork and Mindy
In one of the deleted scenes to this episode (only available in the season 7 DVD) you can hear Kodos exclaim "Shazbot," when she and Kang are swallowed by a lumberjack eyesore. "Shazbot" is the trademark word from Mork, in the 70s' comedy sitcom Mork and Mindy. (edit) Myst
In "Homer³", the famous video game Myst is referenced when a building from the game appears in the background and similar music is heard. (edit) Advertisements
The giant ads in the first sequence are references to popular ads or businesses at the time. "Lard Lad" reference "Big Boy" restaurant; the "Zip Boys" reference the "Pep Boys" auto parts; the Duff cowboy references an MGD ad that showed a billboard cowboy coming to life and walking off with a billboard cowgirl. (edit) Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
The first sequence, "Attack of the 50 Foot Eyesores," parodies the title of the 1958 movie, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. (edit) The Twilight Zone
The third story, "Homer³", is very similar to the 1962 Twilight Zone episode, "Little Girl Lost." In that story, a six-year-old girl rolls underneath her bed and goes through a wall into the fourth (or maybe even fifth) dimension. (edit)
