The Simpsons Death Note

The Insane Treehouse from The Simpsons Since the second season of the series, which aired in 1990, a Halloween special has been a yearly tradition. In this special series, the title family appears in a number of non-canon horror-themed pieces, many of which end with people dying or coming across wildly impossible animals and scenarios. They often mock well-known horror movies and horror movie clichés.

The renowned holiday episode series producer, Matt Salman, revealed the following to Entertainment Weekly while discussing the 2022 installment: “Our most watched episode of the year is ‘Treehouse of Horror.’

They are fantastic matches, following football with terrifying brutality. Additionally, we’re fed up with being limited to six-minute tales. An entire tale is so difficult to convey. In fact, the “It” parody barely fit into the half-hour format. Why not grow the “Treehouse of Horror” brand because people genuinely adore such items so much?

The Treehouse of Horror this year will have two distinct programs. While the second special takes us on a journey through three parodies of various horror-themed stories, the first special is a parody of Stephen King’s IT. The Babadook came in first, Westworld came in second, and the well-known Shonen Jump manga and anime series Death Note came in third—and most unexpectedly.

In the episode “Death Tome,” Lisa Simpson discovers a Death Note variant known as the “Death Tome.” She transforms into Ryuk’s alter-ego, Steve Johnson, and acquires the power of the book, becoming the equal of Death Note’s main character Light Yagami.

That the piece is animated in the manner of the show it is parodying is what is getting people’s attention. A comparable narrative might have been simply done instead of going the additional mile.

Watching the Simpsons in this overly-styled environment is quite the sight. It must have been quite expensive to produce because the quality is definitely high-production. You have to respect how committed the bit is.

We’ve seen The Simpsons and anime before, so this is nothing new. Studio Ghibli was honored in 2014.
