Summary
The Simpsons and the Scream franchise come together in new spooky crossover art, featuring Lisa Simpson and Ghostface in a vintage-style horror poster.
The title of the poster is Treehouse of Horror, which is a tribute to The Simpsons' yearly Halloween episodes that blend horror themes and parodies of movies. This artwork proposes the idea that The Simpsons should include a parody of the movie Scream in a future Halloween episode of Treehouse of Horror, since the show has always embraced elements of horror.
In celebration of the Halloween season, the worlds of The Simpsons and the Scream franchise collide in a chilling crossover. As horror content continues to dominate both the big and small screens this October, fans can look forward to the upcoming release of a new Treehouse of Horror episode from The Simpsons, scheduled to premiere on November 5.
Adding to the excitement, renowned artist @theartofcrowphantom has created a striking piece of art that combines the iconic imagery of both The Simpsons and Scream. In this captivating poster, Lisa Simpson is depicted alongside the menacing Ghostface, evoking a vintage-style horror aesthetic. With a look of terror on her face, Lisa clutches a telephone while Ghostface brandishes a bloodied knife.
The Simpsons Has A Long-Standing Relationship With Horror
: The artwork is named Treehouse of Horror, paying tribute to the enduring Simpsons horror specials with the same title. The accompanying caption declares, "It's that time of year again!" and urges observers to "stay spooky."
@theartofcrowphantom cleverly combines both franchises by showcasing Lisa and Ghostface on a poster, positioned above a haunted house that strongly resembles the iconic Simpsons' residence. The color palette is intentionally minimal, with the house and a haunting moon providing the sole sources of illumination, further enhancing the eerie atmosphere surrounding the two main characters.
The Simpsons, a comedy series, has a long-standing tradition of producing "Treehouse of Horror" episodes during the Halloween season. These episodes cleverly incorporate horror themes and draw inspiration from popular movies to give the animated comedy a eerie touch. With 33 "Treehouse of Horror" episodes so far, there have been numerous homages to horror films, including parodies of Frankenstein, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, and The Fly.
Interestingly, The Simpsons has not yet dedicated a "Treehouse of Horror" episode specifically to a parody of the Scream series. However, Ghostface briefly appeared in season 16, episode 20, "Home Away from Homer." This latest spooky addition suggests that perhaps The Simpsons should consider taking on Scream in a future installment of their Halloween special. Given that Treehouse of Horror episodes continue to be produced year after year and the series has already been renewed for season 36, there will likely be plenty of opportunities for this to happen.
