Chuck Dixon unleashes Tahn-Enn-Bahm The Christmas Tree from Another World.

Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror (1998) 4

Just three days before Christmas Lisa convinces Homer and family to use a live tree. Camouflaged by the other firs, Than-Enn-Bahm is able to fool the family and escape to their living room.

Lisa discovers the deception, but is saved by Homer’s clumsiness and the combination of water and electricity. The Earth is saved…or is it?

The Illustrative Man, by Batton Lash, offers vignettes of ink that come to life.

Based on The Illustrated Man, a 1951 book authored by Ray Bradbury, the second feature of 1998 ties up the book for another year.

The Illustrated Man was later translated to film starring Rod Steiger. While the source material featured 18-short stories, the movie only featured three, The Veldt, The Long Rain and The Last Night of the World.

A remake was rumored in 2007, but has yet to be green lit.
