As you may have figured out, we are huge fans of Guillermo Del Toro and his visual genius here at The Movie Bit, so our interest was piqued when it was announced he would be directing the latest couch gag opener for The Simpsons annual Halloween special, Treehouse of Horror. Fox have released the opener online, and it is quite fantastic, referencing many well known names of the horror genre, including Dracula, Alfred Hitchcock, Godzilla, and Stephen King, as well as giving some of his own movies, such as Chronos, Hellboy, Blade II, Pan's Labyrinth, and Pacific Rim a yellow skinned makeover. The episode airs this Sunday, and you check the opening for yourself below. I would recommend a couple of viewings, because it is jam packed full of fun little details.
