**what to watch tonight · sunday, october 25**

Springfield opens the treehouse, AMC closes out a very bad hospital stay, and Kate
Berlant provides an exit from the horror department. Three options, depending on
whether tonight calls for cartoon death, institutional dread, or a woman having 
a complicated relationship with her phone.

US listings below. Broadcast and cable times are **Eastern/Central**; the comedy
special is already streaming on demand. Subscription or TV-provider access may be
required.

## 8/7c: the simpsons opens the treehouse

**FOX · “Treehouse of Horror XXXVII” · new tonight.**

The annual Halloween episode sends Marge into a frightening marital detour, pairs
Bart with Santa’s Little Helper for an adventure, and gives Homer a driving lesson.
The last of those could have been a horror premise without any seasonal assistance.

This is the half-hour option for people who want the Halloween episode rather than
a six-hour commitment. FOX lists it for **8 p.m. Eastern, 7 Central**. [The Simpsons on FOX](https://www.fox.com/the-simpsons/)·

## 9/8c: the terror has one more discharge form

**AMC · The Terror: Devil in Silver · cable finale tonight.**

Dan Stevens plays Pepper, a moving man wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric
Hospital. Victor LaValle’s novel supplies this installment’s setting, where confinement
and neglect are frightening enough before anyone investigates the supernatural problem.

Tonight concludes AMC’s cable run at **9 p.m. Eastern, 8 Central**. It is _not_ 
a new streaming finale: all six episodes are already on AMC+. If you have not started,
begin with the first episode rather than arriving at the hospital for the closing
argument. [AMC’s series page](https://www.amc.com/shows/the-terror-devil-in-silver--1074635)·

## on demand: kate berlant supplies a different kind of spiral

**HBO Max · Kate Berlant: Parmesan · already streaming.**

oct25-kate-berlant-parmesan.jpg?resize=780%2C439&ssl=1)

Berlant’s new stand-up special moves through technology, sexuality, and the odd 
business of being a person in public. Filmed at Los Angeles’s Plaza Nightclub and
directed by Doron Max Hagay, it arrived October 16; this is a catch-up pick, not
a Sunday premiere.

A useful change of temperature after two Halloween options. The phone can still 
be the villain, but nobody needs to lock you in a ward to establish that. [HBO’s current streaming listing](https://www.hbo.com/)·
