Animation Alley: Treehouse of Horror II
I kind of miss the wrap-arounds, mainly because as a “consequence” of these yearly specials, we never really get to see the Simpsons celebrating Halloween in-universe. But for a few years, we got a brief glimmer of it, as wonderfully shown here. The kids’ costumes are perfect: Marge slapped a scary witch mask on Maggie, Bart the hooded executioner, and Lisa honors Native American heritage with her totem pole. We see them enter the room at their level, and when Lisa comes through and gets stuck, we zoom out to show her costume unable to clear the doorway. Excellent framing.…
Simpsons T-Shirt Designs Galore!
“Eighteen bucks for this? What a ripoff!” – Some Guy Yesterday was the entry deadline for Threadless’s Simpsons design contest. All told they accepted 820 submissions (and there was a real rush at the end because that number was 494 when I checked it yesterday afternoon). You can view all of them here, and scoring goes on until Tuesday, so you’ve got plenty of time to vote. I’m not sure how many they are going to actually print, but there are definitely a couple that I’d consider actually buying. Below are some of the ones I liked best, but there…

“Now, children, you can have one piece of candy tonight and save the rest for-” – Marge Simpson Ah, after weeks of waiting Halloween is finally here with costumes, candy and, of course, lots of “Treehouse of Horror”.

Along similar lines, Kaplan Test Prep Daily had…

Quote of the Day
“Well, class, the history of our country has been changed again to correspond with Bart’s answers on yesterday’s test. America was now discovered in 1942 by ‘some guy’, and our country isn’t called America anymore, it’s ‘bonerland’.” – Mrs. Krabappel

“Oh, Homer, this is awful.” – Marge Simpson “Come to think of it, the guy that sold me this thing did say the wishes would bring grave misfortune. I thought he was just being colorful.” – Homer Simpson
Zombie Simpsons Lives In Brentwood, Thinks Everyone Else Does Too
“Look everybody, my purse exploded!” – Marge Simpson “Come on everybody, we’re going to the fanciest restaurant in town!” – Homer Simpson There once was a show called The Simpsons. It was about an upper-lower-middle class family that lived in small town Anywhere, USA. That family wasn’t quite poor, but they could only barely make ends meet. Their city wasn’t a thriving metropolis, it was another beat up burgh whose past was brighter than its future. Part of what made the show so searingly funny was the way it took unpleasant realities like staving off poverty and living in America’s…

“Before last year’s Halloween show, I warned you not to let your children watch, but you did anyway. Well, this year’s episode is even worse. It’s scarier and more violent, and I think they snuck in some bad language too.” – Marge Simpson Happy 20th anniversary to “Treehouse of Horror II”! Original airdate 31 October 1991.
Reading Digest: Marge Costume Edition
As I’m sure everyone knows, Monday is Halloween, and while there were lots and lots of previews for Sunday’s Zombie Simpsons episode, you will find none of them linked below. Why bore yourself more than once? Instead we have several links to Marge costumes past and present. Sadly, the only picture is of a lame store bought one, but a quick Google Image search will net you plenty of great looking homemade ideas and tips. In addition to that, we’ve got a Homer video game customization, a wildly overzealous copyright takedown notice, lots of usage, a kick ass home made…

So I replaced the flesh, which is weak, with steel, which is strong. Behold, the greatest breakthrough in labor relations since the cat-o-nine-tails!” – C.M. Burns
