The Simpsons

Treehouse of Horror Couch Gag (by John Kricfalusi)

Four years ago, animation visionary and Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi leant his distinctive style to a couch gag on The Simpsons. This weekend, for the show's latest "Treehouse of Horror" episode, he's offered up another treat — and it just might be better than the first.

In front of Hanna-Barbera backdrops, some fucked-up versions of the Simpson kids walk around trick-or-treating as a demented song plays on. Eventually, things get extremely ghoulish when a zombie Frank Grimes eats Bart's flesh like a banana and steals Homer's soul. The whole thing is visually spectacular, and we can't stop rewatching it.

Check out John K.'s latest Simpsons collaboration below. Here's hoping they hand him the keys for a full-length episode one day.
