About This Program ✦
is a programme presented in an episode format. It centres on a family’s annual Halloween preparations and the events that follow, offering a snapshot of their seasonal traditions. The storyline follows a household that takes great pride in being the most elaborately adorned residence on their street each October. Their enthusiasm, however, is sharply contrasted by the experience of their daughter, Lisa, who becomes deeply unsettled after attending Krustyland’s Horror Night. The fright she endures leaves her feeling unable to continue taking part in the festivities. The family’s confidence stems from the meticulous effort they invest in decorating their home, turning it into the neighbourhood’s standout attraction each year. Their collective goal is to outshine every other house on the block, and they view their display as a source of communal recognition and personal satisfaction. Lisa’s reaction, on the other hand, underscores a different perspective. The terror she encounters at the theme‑park event overwhelms her, and she begins to doubt whether she can endure the celebration any longer. This personal crisis adds a tension between the family’s outward pride and her internal struggle, shaping the episode’s central conflict.
