Fox has released the following three promotional images for Treehouse of Horror XXII, the next new episode which is set to air Sunday 30 October.
Homer takes a dangerous dive into an isolated canyon on Candy Peak, but when a crashing boulder traps his arm, he channels Aron Ralston (guest voicing as himself) to save himself. In “The Diving Bell and Butterball,” the first of three hair-raising Halloween tales, a venomous spider bite leaves Homer paralyzed, but when Lisa discovers Homer’s ability to communicate through natural gases, he is able to express his love for Marge. The killer spells continue in “Dial D for Diddly,” when Ned Flanders, devout preacher by day, transforms into a cold-blooded vigilante by night. In the final terrifying tale, “In the Na’Vi,” Bart and Milhouse are assigned on a mission to access a sacred extract on a distant planet. They morph into the land’s indigenous one-eyed avatars, but when Bart finds love and an eternal mate abroad, he is caught in planet warfare
Um, okay. Not sure about the stories, none really sound all that “Halloweeny”, but it is all in the writing and the jokes.
Sounds great! Obviously they are spoofing several recent oscar nominated films.
Halloween is more than pumpkins and witches and vampires.
That poster is awesome.
They should step up the animation for Treehouse episodes as well. I love how it looks with all the detailed lighting and textures in those images.
Maybe when the series finally does end they’ll still be able to put out the Treehouse episodes every Halloween. Maybe then they could be an hour long with real high quality animation. I don’t think it’ll happen but it would be nice.
May watch just for Dexter parody!
