They were both writing “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” which is a reference to The Shining.
More: The alien from Alien, Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still, Nosferatu, the fly from The Fly, the mummy, the invisible man, and Death. 
:smack: Duh. Thanks. 
:smack:! Duh. Thanks.
Also visible: the Elemental from Hellboy 2, Ro-Man, (whoa), the green lizard from 20 Million Miles to Earth, Johnny Eck and Schlitzie from Freaks, and Inspector Clay with the shovel from Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Does anyone recognize the probe-looking ship that collided with Kang and Kodos’ ship?
“Krusty: Now doing funerals.” You could also see the corpses of the Tracey Ullman-era Simpsons buried under the power plant, right above (I guess) a Godzilla skeleton. Behind Maggie are “Good and Bloody” candies and three magazines: Bleeder’s Digest, Better Tombs and Gargoyles, and The Ghost of Newsweek. The Cthulhu drawing is really great and I just noticed that the raven that lands on Poe’s shoulder has three eyes. And Hans Moleman is drawing Alfred Hitchcock’s shadow on the wall during that big pan through all the miscellaneous monsters.
Excellent!
ETA: that goes for Marley23 as well.
I think that’s the first new Halloween credit for Sam Simon since Treehouse III or IV. He’s been Sam “Sayonara” Simon all that time, but in that one he’s simonsam@twitTERROR - his Twitter handle is @simonsam. I wonder if he told them he wanted a different credit or if someone made a point of reaching out to him since he’s been so ill.
I’ve drifted away from The Simpsons (as we’ve all), but that was amazing.
I saw producer Mike Reiss at MomoCon earlier this year and he said that the Simpsons Halloween show had something that he was as proud of as anything they’ve ever done. Don’t know if the opening was it, but I’ll be watching the show this Sunday anyway.
I KNEW I recognized that thing.
Does anyone know when Treehouse is airing this year? I don’t have a working TV, so I need to make arrangements to catch it.
Also Lon Chaney from London After Midnight, and a couple of Saucermen.

Nitpick - movie was made in black & white. The Ymir was greenish in some of the publicity though. 20 million miles to earth poster - Google Search
This Sunday night. Yes, almost four weeks before Halloween.
He was blue on the cover of Famous Monsters of Filmland, IIRC…
Homer’s appearance on the couch was a reference to The Devil’s Backbone.
Yes. That is the cavorite spaceship from The First Men in the Moon, the 1964 movie based on the H.G. Wells book of the same title.
Exxxxcellent.
better than a month later.
Herbert Lom from the 1962 Hammer Film version and Claude Rains from the 1943 Universal Studios one.
