The Simpsons is a pretty tame show, at least by the standards of animated adult sitcoms. But every Halloween, he rapes things up. Suddenly, the characters have the skin to turn inside, or they are killed and eaten by their cannibalist teachers. The special "Treehouse of Horror" is the show's annual chance to really adhere to that FCC mixture. Of course, some pictures can be traumatizing for children looking at, but what else is Halloween?

For the creator of the series Matt Groning, there was a moment in the eighth special "Treehouse of Horror" (in Season 9) which actually frightened him. Groning admitted in DVD behind the scenes comment that the scene of the episode opening, in which the fox censorship was constantly stabbed to death, left "actually frightened".

Mike Sculi, who was at the time, spoke in the same DVD comment about how difficult it was to approve the scene. The real censorship of the fox was okay by killing the fictional censorship of the fox; They just thought the violence was a little too visceral. Sculey explained how the censors thought the scene was "a little bloody, or violent", and how, "there were many conversations about the size of the match. I think there (were) a lot of arguments about whether it is a small knife. Which is funny (as opposed) that is worse. And (also) for the sounds and amounts of blood. "

The episode director, Mark Kirkland, explained further, saying, "I remember, initially, it was a goose. But the censors have been protesting that it is too gruesome. " Then, the boot was elongated in a more sword, with the logic obvious that the longer the weapons appeared, the less violent on the stage. I can Type of Understand the logic behind this: the knife killing requires the attacker to wake up and personal while the match gives them a distance.

When Disney bought the Simpsons in 2019, many fans are worried that the show will get too safe and PG, but it turns out that the opposite has happened. When it comes to Halloween at least, Simpson got a a lot More comfortable with Gore. Take, for example, the recent "SE7EN" segment -inspected "Treehouse of Horror", where we will see more beloved characters "Simpsons" have been killed in absolutely brutal fashion with R. I had no idea that Disney still had this kind of them in them.

But even before Disney bought the show's rights, the Simpsons increased more and more violently. For me, the most disturbing moment is still her respect for Goldilox in Season 12, in which she is a character Trapped in a house and reinforced to death by the three bears. We don't actually see her death - just a lot of screaming and leaking blood under the door - but it just makes her worse.

I suppose it helps this moment "Family Guy" also aired on Fox and will probably take most of the time and energy of censors. With his rival show making jokes about Their baby face eating horse spermIt is difficult for the Simpsons to shock someone more. Censor of the fox that stabbing to death can make the uncomfortable uncomfortable in 1997, but since we have been in the past eight years, the Treehouse sketch where Homer is eating aliveThe scene now feels incredibly tame.
