#LORD OF RIGEL SYNTH SERIAL#
In a parody of Dexter, after hearing a voice that he thinks is God telling him to murder people, Ned Flanders becomes a serial killing vigilante, targeting characters who are Homer's enemies. When he is again bitten by another spider (a radioactive one this time), he gains the ability to shoot spider webs out of his rear end and have the same abilities as Spider-Man, though he is still unable to move or talk. The Simpson family is amazed at the result and Lisa helps Homer tell Marge how he feels about her. When Lisa reads for him, she discovers that he can communicate through farting. The bite leaves Homer paralyzed and unable to speak. Unfortunately, there is a real black widow spider in the box and when Homer grabs what he thinks is a plastic spider, he is bitten by it. In a parody of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Spider-Man, Homer begins to decorate the house for Halloween and is reaching for a decoration in a box. Bart opens his mouth to show the chewed up candy spelling the title of the episode. Throughout this story, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are seen eating the candy. Then he chews off the one that was actually pinned, Homer learns that he was carrying a bag of vegetables, as Bart, Lisa and Maggie had secretly stolen back the candy, inciting a dismayed Homer to scream in rage. Fueled by his need to get the out-of-reach bag of candy, and rather than wait twenty minutes for help, Homer chews off his arm. Unfortunately, Homer trips and falls to the bottom of the canyon with his arm pinned. Homer instead runs off with the bag to eat its contents in privacy at a canyon cliff. When Bart, Lisa and Maggie come home with their Halloween candy hauls, Marge confiscates all of it to donate to the army. After watching the show, the producers of the musical released a press statement in which they told how flattered they were when their show was mentioned on The Simpsons. The episode featured a reference to the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. The critical reception was very diverse, ranging from a plea to end the show to a statement that the show is on top of its game and should not be cancelled. In its original American broadcast, it was viewed by approximately 8.1 million people. The episode was written by Carolyn Omine, directed by Matthew Faughnan, and featured guest voices from Aron Ralston and Jackie Mason. The opening was a parody of the autobiographical film 127 Hours, in which the subject Aron Ralston loses an arm.
