This is the complete walkthrough for the primary Treehouse of Horror storyline, that if paced out as intended should take at least a week or more to complete. Once you finish certain parts of this storyline you will unlock Maude, or rather her in ghost form since she is dead. You’ll also unlock the Freak Show Tent through regular game play as well.

It has taken me the better part of the night to transcribe all of this dialogue, so please respect the work I’ve put into this. If you own a web-site, and wish to share this information with your readers, please send a reblog request. If you just copy and paste this material, I will haunt you.

Happy Halloween and enjoy the Treehouse of Horror XXIV update!

Build the Gypsy Fortune Teller Shop

$2000 / 24h

Bart: I think our house is haunted. Last night I heard ghostly moans and shrieks, and I saw a strange figure draped in chain.

Homer: That was me wearing a chain of 50 sausage links. The shrieking was me later realizing I’d eaten them all.

Lisa: As always, there’s a perfectly logical although disturbing explanation.

Homer: Yes. But there were also ghosts.

Marge: What?! Our house really is haunted? We better call in a trained professional.

Homer: We can’t afford that. Let’s go see an unlicensed quack.

The Ghost in the Machine-based App Pt. 2

Gypsy: So, you seek the old gypsy’s help because you are troubled by ghost.

Gypsy: And yet when I ring your doorbell selling herbal supplements, it’s “nobody home, gypsy.”

Marge: Please, just tell us why we’re being haunted.

Gypsy: The spirits are angry, and seek justice for wrongs done to them in their Earthly lives. And ghost justice involves possessing people – it’s neat to see!

Gypsy: I’ll tell you how to get rid of them if you buy 10 jars of my house gingko blend.

Homer: Nobody home, gypsy.

Lisa: What if we were to just pop the ghosts. Then we could collect their “ghostly organofluid outflow”. or GOO.

Gypsy: Very smart, little girl. I foretell that in the future you will have trouble finding a date. How did you learn about GOO, anyway?

Lisa: Google.

(Treehouse of Horror XXIV Guide and the Personal Prizes window appears)

Homer: Man, I popped ten ghosts and they still keep coming. What is there, a ghost bubble machine somewhere?

Marge: We’ll get our friends to help pop ghosts, and make sure they get nice rewards. Maybe some pop-corn! *giggles*

Homer: I get it. “Pop” cause you pop them, and “corn” cause that joke’s corny.

Freak #2: We demand… back pay! Our old boss never paid us the money he owed us. And then we all died.

Lisa: Okay. What’s the name of your old boss?

Freak #1: That mystery you muse solve for yourself!

(after arriving at the Springfield Library)

Gypsy: The spirits want to help you, Lisa, so they’re sending a message: “CEBCREGL BS OHEAFHZ”.

Mr Burns: So, you’ve discovered the truth.

Mr Burns: My grandfather, Montgomery Burnsum, ran the old freak show, before he changed his name to make it less ethnic.

Lisa: To stop the ghosts all you have to do is give their back pay to their descendants – five bucks.

Mr Burns: Forget it. I already pay enough weirdos and goofballs at the plant as it is.

Freak #2: Then all the ghosts of Springfield will haunt you!

Mr Burns: These ghosts are picketing my plant day and night. They’re worse than Teamsters.

Mr Burns: There must be some way to stop them. Smithers, hire a force of magical Pinkerton detective to bonk them on their ghostly heads.

Smithers: I’ll do my best, sir.

Mr Burns: In the meanwhile, I’ll check the Necronomicon!

(after the task is complete)

Smithers: You’re looking cheerful, sir.

Mr Burns: Yes indeed. I’ve discovered that GOO burns! Who needs expensive uranium when I can power my plant with cheap, stinky, GOO.

Smithers: You do realize you are using the essence of human souls to power light bulbs.

Mr Burns: Hey, I’m a capitalist. Burning human souls is what I do.

Mr Burns: So keep those ghosts coming, and collect all the GOO you can!
