Treehouse of HORROR #18
October 31st, 2012 by chocko
It’s that time of year again for Bongo Comics issue of twisted terror featuring The Simpsons! The first story of this “48-page chill-tacular” is titled “Eerie Beery” and features everybody’s favorite animated family going on a vacation, taking a wrong turn and ending up in a dark cabin where Homer awakens evil spirits that turn the rest of the family into hungry zombies. There’s a twist ending and a chainsaw wielding Homer Simpson that will leave you gasping in horror. Awesome story and art courtesy of brothers Shane and Chris Houghton (Reed Gunther).
“Margemary’s Baby” is a supernatural homage to the classic horror movie Rosemary’s Baby. The art is by Phil Noto (Danger Girl) and the story was written by Gerry Duggan of Attack of the Show! The story starts with a young couple (Marge and Homer) looking to move into a Downtown Springfield apartment. They get introduced to their creepy neighbors, Monty Burns and Smitherina and the hellish nightmare begins. Will Marge hit it off with “Ol’ Long Horns” and spawn the son of Satan? Check it out!
“One Bart And Stormy Knight” is my favorite of the bunch! In Bartman’s latest adventure he battles Drunkzilla, Mr. Squishee, Kitten Delight and his evil nemesis, The Giggler a.k.a. Lisa. It looks like Bartman has finally met his match. Marge and Homer, looking like Frankenstein monsters join in on the battle royale and look ready to do some damage with the help of a large kitchen knife and a power drill. This is a fun read with a surprise ending. The art by Tone Rodriguez and Andrew Pepoy is spooktacular!
“The Bride!” is another homage to another classic horror movie classic, The Bride of Frankenstein. Jim Valentino (ShadowHawk) and Shannon Wheeler (Too Much Coffee Man) join forces to tell the story of some of Springfield’s regulars gathering at the local bar Moe’s and recalling the classic horror masterpiece. The latest Treehouse book is awesome and features a classic cover by Hilary Barta! His blog LimerWrecks is super fun and features limericks which mostly focus on film, but beware of spoilers!
