  • October 7: The Simpsons episode "Cape Feare" premieres on Fox.[5] Sideshow Bob officially begins his obsession for killing Bart in this episode.
  • October 10: A five-year-old boy, Austin Matthews, sets fire to his mother's mobile home in Moraine, Ohio, killing his two-year-old sister Jessica. The mother claims that her son got the idea from watching Beavis and Butt-Head.[11] Although it is later revealed that the family did not have cable television and thus could not watch the show, the controversy led to Beavis and Butt-Head being rescheduled to air later in the evenings and be edited to remove all references to fire.[12]
  • October 21: During a U.S. Senate hearing, chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Ernest Fritz Hollings, argues that TV broadcasters have to be pressured to curb violent or otherwise offensive shows, making direct reference to Beavis and Butt-Head. However, he is ridiculed for mispronouncing the characters' names as Buffcoat and Beaver and admitting that he had never watched the show.[13]
  • October 28: The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror IV" premieres on Fox.[5]
  • October 29: Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas is released. It becomes a cult classic and an unexpected phenomenon on every Halloween.[14]
