Guillermo del Toro directed the three minute title opener for the upcoming Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons.
It’s brilliant. Check it out.
I’ve not watched Simpsons for a while but I do try not to miss the Halloween specials. This one promisses to be particularly good. Directed by Guillermo del Toro.
That looked expensive.
Nice job.
I love the bit with all the Phantoms - with the Phantom of the Paradise in Largo’s place.
(Also how many of his own movies he slipped in - I caught Pacific Rim, Hellboy, Blade II, and 2 separate Pan’s Labrynth…I’m sure there were more that I missed, too.)
It was a surprise to see myself in there.
Where’s my check?
Was Maggie driving the car from The Car?
I love that movie!
The scarab from Chronos in the checkout line, followed by the baby as the insect from** Mimic**
I was pleased to see Phantom of the Paradise. I recognized Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera and The Phantom from comics, but who are the middle two?
What is Marge a reference to? Oh, Mimic? I didn’t realize GDT was the director.
What is the creature that writes “El Muerto”
Don’t forget Cthulhu! 
The authors Bart was skateboarding by…I recognized Poe, of course, and Ray Bradbury working on the Illustrated Man (literally), but who were the others?
H.P. Lovecraft sharing tea with his creation, Cthulhu, and Richard Matheson standing next to one of the creatures from* The Omega Man*, which was based on his novel I am Legend. Nice to see Matheson in the line up.
was that Stephen king in Bart’s homeroom?
I believe so.
So, after skating down Cthulhu’s tentacle Bart goes past:
Guy drinking tea with Cthulhu - who is this? Is that supposed to be Lovecraft?
Edgar Allen Poe
Ray Bradbury
The Illustrated Man
Guy in beret - who is this?
Matthias from Omega Man (I think)

Answered already I see. Thanks.
If you like modern horror, Matheson’s story anthologies are really worth checking out. He is not nearly as well known as he should be, considering how influential he was.
Was there any significance to Stephen King writing on the classroom door?
Hah! Rod Serling, the robot from Lost in Space, and the outline of Alfred Hitchcock’s head.
