The Simpsons As A Live-Action Horror Movie Has A Killer Cast (But It’s Total Nightmare Fuel)

The Simpsons, reimagined as a horror movie, has a killer cast, but it’s an absolute nightmare fuel. Even though the long-running Fox comedy rightly built its reputation on being transgressive and waving away many of the television rules of the time, The Simpsons remains fundamentally a story about a loving family — no matter how dysfunctional. That’s why it remains somewhat jarring to see the beloved main characters and their many supporting cohorts in a more sinister context. It’s part of why the show’s annual “Treehouse of Terror” works so well.
