He's soon disturbed from his slumber and awoken by a repeating tapping on his chamber door. Homer's spooked by a rustle heard outside. Screaming, Homer hides behind his reading chair and utters, "Sir, or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you." Homer proceeds to approach the chamber door and throws it open while covering his eyes. There's nothing there but darkness. </p><p>Suddenly, there comes a tapping on the window. Homer opens the window, and <a href="/wiki/The_Raven_(character)" title="The Raven (character)">a raven</a> flies into the room and perches above the chamber door upon a bust of <a href="/wiki/Pallas" class="mw-redirect" title="Pallas">Pallas</a>. Homer attempts to communicate with the raven, but the bird only replies with, "Nevermore." The bird continues with this reply and begins to anger Homer. Homer lunges for the Raven, who flits away. Homer chases the bird across and around the room, but it remains barely out of reach. Homer and the raven's chase makes a mess of his chamber and results in Homer throwing a potted plant at the Raven, who dodges the projectile. The plant pot hits Homer on the head, and tiny ravens dance around his head, chanting, ``Nevermore, Nevermore, Nevermore...<i></i> </p><p>The chase continues. The Raven plucks books from the shelf and drops them, before returning to its place atop the bust of Pallas. Meanwhile, below, the carnage it wrought upon the room, Homer seemingly descended into madness. The narrator concludes, "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting on the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted - nevermore!" </p><p>With the poem now finished, Bart and Lisa talk about the tales before going to bed and Bart didn't find the story that scary, not knowing Homer was freaked out by all of them. Everybody goes to bed, but Homer has trouble sleeping that night and decides he hates Halloween after hearing the Raven outside. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Production">Production</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Treehouse_of_Horror&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Production">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>This is the first episode of <i>The Simpsons</i> to be composed by <a href="/wiki/Alf_Clausen" title="Alf Clausen">Alf Clausen</a>, who went on to be the main composer until <a href="/wiki/Season_29" title="Season 29">season 29</a>.
