Simpsons Halloween includes 'Great Pumpkin'


From USATODAY, Do you have your Joker mask yet? Halloween is right around the corner. One of the annual spooky highlights is the special Simpsons Halloween episode. Semi-spoiler ahead:

Al Jean, executive producer of the show, tells SCI FI Wire that this year's show will partly parody It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. At the Fox party Monday night, Jean said, "The Great Pumpkin comes to life and is so upset about the way people treat pumpkins that he goes around trying to kill everybody." Each of the Simpsons becomes one of the famous Peanuts gang. "Bart's like Charlie Brown. Milhouse is like Linus. Lisa's like Sally. We did the backgrounds in a similar style. We actually were able to clear the Vince Guaraldi music, which, of course, is like hardwired into everybody's DNA from childhood."

Another segment lampoons the Transformers movie. You can imagine what that will be like.
