This year’s episode also marks the show’s 600th episode.

According to USA Today, the episode opens with a short segment in which Simpson foes, including Sideshow Bob, try to kill the family.

The three main segments include a satire of dystopian movies in which evil Mr. Burns controls the only water in a Springfield gone dry. A story in which an imaginary friend (Sarah Silverman) from Lisa’s younger days returns to kill her real friends; and a James Bond-themed segment with accents of Kingsman: The Secret Service that features bartender Moe running a secret society that tries to keep order in the world.

As well as Maggie going all J-Law, the poster features Homer “wearing a homemade Bender costume,” a nod to Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening’s Futurama, producer Al Jean says.

“Bart is a raptor. Marge is an ice cream cone and Lisa is a recycling bin.”

Treehouse of Horror XXVII broadcasts in the US on October 16.
