The Simpsons season 35's Halloween special is set to repeat one great gag from last year's Treehouse of Horror by parodying the show's Golden Age.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT After The Simpsons won over fans and critics alike by revisiting its Golden Age in season 34’s Treehouse of Horror, season 35’s Halloween special looks set to repeat this trick. The Simpsons sometimes struggle to address the legacy of the show’s long journey. While The Simpsons is one of the most important TV shows in the history of the medium, it is also a light-hearted cartoon sitcom.
Luckily, The Simpsons season 35 seems to have found a solid balance between these extremes. In the show’s premiere, the series offered a gag-heavy story about Homer becoming a corrupt crossing guard. This outing stuck to the essence of what makes Homer a compelling character while also telling a zany, surreal tale that few other shows could pull off.
Treehouse of Horror XXXIV May Revisit A Classic Simpsons Episode Now, season 35’s Treehouse of Horror special looks set to continue this promising trend with a segment that flashes back to a classic episode of The Simpsons. The Simpsons season 35’s trailer implies that "Treehouse of Horror XXXIV" will revisit season 5, episode 2, “Cape Feare.
However, in the trailer’s version of “Cape Feare,” Sideshow Bob succeeds in bloodily murdering an unseen member of the Simpson family. Much like the "Simpsonsworld" segment of “Treehouse of Horror XXXIV,” this segment could retell a classic episode’s story in a way that feels entirely fresh.
The Simpsons Tried This Story Once Before There is an earlier segment where Sideshow Bob finally gets to kill Bart in season 27, episode 5, “Treehouse of Horror XXVI.” However, “Wanted: Dead, Then Alive” came from the show’s zaniest, most cartoony era, so this Halloween special managed to make the sight of Sideshow Bob repeatedly murdering a child seem anodyne and goofy.
