Most of the Troma franchises, Freddy v Jason, Alien v Predator - many horror franchises have, starting back with the Universal horrors in the ‘40s.

My god this was such a laugh-free, stillbirth of a movie.

Marty cameos in almost all of his films, usually in a “capturer in media” type role.

Yes, coincidence. Halloween eps are storyboarded months earlier than normal shows. The Homer-Van Houtens would have been strangling long before the line was written.

Turns out WBD actually only pulled “Coyote Vs ACME” due to fears of all the copycat behavior lawsuits.

Worth noting that Brooks’ co-writer (and the co-conceptualizer), as well as playing the ever-present cinematographer *behind* the headpiece-camera, was the great Harry Shearer. (He seems to *never* get credited for this fantastic and hilarious co-prophecy on the topics.)

And, of course, notably the researcher and author of the book, widely praised by all sides, is not Native American either.

Same crew animated this project, so maybe we should look at it as though we dodged a bullet?

TBC, I have no objection to any of it so long as the 4 parties approve. Bring it.

When have the TOHs *not* been gorier than regular episodes?

Scripts air on average 9 months after the table reads of ‘finished’ scripts. Treehouse of Horrors take 10-11 months due to the far greater number of new designs required per segment. So, no.

Coming in 2025! The NEW Beatles album we’ve all been waiting for!

But then how tempting would it be to then take “I Told You Before”, and clean it up, removing that electronic interference? It’s a slippery - and seductive - slope.

SO many arch comments from celebrity relatives these days.

It ended with the implication that their daughter Ellen was affected by what her father had done so much that she was now emerging as an “Alex”. It was silly and unearned.

“Ryan’s Version” was extremely good too, but I understand if we can’t discuss that yet.

“Wrong kid became Death!!”

Streep had already played many cold, calculating “bad woman” roles from the beginning, and many since. Hawn had as well, but fewer - more “haughty woman who learns a lesson” roles - so she wasn’t really working against type either. (Especially not in a comedy.)

Yet another example of SNL only being funny when you misunderstand it and add your own personal jokes.
