This Years TREEHOUSE OF HORROR Parodies 'Parasite,' 'The Ring,' 'Bambi,' and More!
As Halloween approaches, the annual Treehouse Of Horror Episode from The Simpsons has begun getting some news!
With season 33 of The Simpsons well underway, we have learned that the Treehouse of Horror XXXII episode will parody Oscar winning film, ‘Parasite’ along with “Bambi,” “The Ring” and more, the episode airs Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. on Fox.
Here’s a synopsis from Variety detailing the Parasite episode.
In the segment “Bong Joon Ho’s ‘This Side of Parasite,'” the Simpsons live in a squalid basement apartment, but aim to change their circumstances after Bart is hired as a tutor by wealthy superstar Rainier Wolfcastle.
Eventually, Bart arranges to have Homer hired as Wolfcastle’s new chauffeur, while Marge gets a gig as the house maid, Lisa is hired as art teacher and even baby Maggie lands a job as groundskeeper. But when Wolfcastle goes on vacation and the Simpsons throw a party in the manor, they discover others have been secretly living in the house, too — Kirk and Luann, who are not happy that the Simpsons took their jobs — and a fight erupts between the “parasites.”
Meanwhile, in “Nightmare on Elm Tree,” trees take their revenge on the citizens of Springfield.
In “Poetic Interlude,” a Vincent Price-style voice reads the children’s book “The Telltale Bart,” while Edward Gorey-style animation illustrates the tale. And in a parody of “The Ring,” the Springfield Elementary kids discover that anyone who watches a TikTok video will die in seven days. Lisa hatches a plan to stop TikTok from killing viewers.
This years Treehouse was written by John Frink and directed by Matthew Faughnan.
