Untitled[edit]

I added the goof about the reincarnation chart, but I'm not entirely sure what Apu is reincarnated as in this episode so I put it as "rabbit-like animal" - if someone knows what specific animal it's supposed to be, feel free to change it. --Foxhunt King 3:40, 15 June 2006 (CMT)

"I've Grown a Costume on Your Face": Aparte del episodio de Buffy es tambien similar a un episodio de "Los Padrinos Magicos" (En Argentina no se estreno este episodio asi que no tengo ni idea, pero por el resumen creo que es absurdamente similar):

19. Scary Godparents Timmy wishes everyone really was what they dressed up as for Halloween, but some kids are dressed up as supervillains content on destroying the world, and C&W are dressed up so they're not fairies anymore!

First spanish latin america airing[edit]

I dont have any reference or anything but for some weird reason this chapter was aired in full english on november 1, 2006 in the countries of Fox Latin America. I know because i just see it, but its weird why they decided to play it instead of waiting until the mexican boys finish the dubbing

Too many quotes[edit]

There are too many quotes for this episode. Some should be removed. I tried deleting some that weren't particularly reverent to the episode, but they were put back. Great quotes can be put on Wikiquote:The Simpsons —Fitch 03:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comic Reference[edit]

I believe that an old halloween issue of Simpsons Comics had a plot near identical to "I've Grown a Costume on Your Face". In the comic, Rod and Tod Flanders summon demons by reading a Harry Potter book, who wreck havoc, primarily by turning the residents of Springfield into their costumed personas. Can anyone back this up?--Agent Aquamarine 03:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it did

Lose the trivia section[edit]

Please see WP:Trivia and Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles L0b0t 02:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know what band is playing on the B.I. part of Tree House XVI. The Eagles maybe? Let me know.-Z

Costumes[edit]

It IS very useful so I added it back

Fair use rationale for Image:Survival of the Fattest.jpg[edit]

Halloweentown[edit]

I've Grown a Costume on Your Face's plot also seems to be like Halloweentown 2: Kalabar's Revenge. C Teng ^[talk] 22:52, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Little detail[edit]

I am pretty sure I`m among the only ones to have noticed this or understood the joke, and I`m sure there is no place on the article for it (no more "Cultural references" at the end), but the scene in which David pours ice cream from his nose may be a nod to Round The Twist`s episode "The Ice Cream Man Cometh", in which a person has this creepy ability... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.83.189.74 (talk) 23:13, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
