This Artist’s Simpsons/Horror Mashups Should Hold You Over Until “Treehouse of Horror XXX”

Published

on

The landmark 30th “Treehouse of Horror” episode of “The Simpsons” – the show’s 666th episode, fittingly! – is coming this October, set to spoof Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water and Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” But why wait until then to delight in the joys of the characters from “The Simpsons” being merged with the horrors of our favorite genre, we say.

Artist Peter Mahoney has spent the last several months whipping up incredible pieces of “Simpsons meets horror” mash-up art, imagining films like A Nightmare on Elm Street, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jaws, The Ring and The Exorcist in the iconic style of “The Simpsons.”

Mahoney’s clever mashups cast the beloved animated characters in the roles of our favorite horror icons, including Marge as Samara, Homer as Chief Brody and Moe as…Gizmoe!

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
