The Omega Man
As with the majority of the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, numerous cultural references are made throughout the episode. "The HΩmega Man" is an extended homage to film "The Omega Man", which was one of Mike Scully's favorite movies as a child. In the same segment, Homer runs over Johnny and Edgar Winter while fleeing the mutants pursuing him, mistaking them as mutants as the Winter brothers are both albino.
