The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror: III, Season 4 - Dial 'Z' for Zombies

As a born disabled person... I prefer to be called the living impaired now. 😆

The Simpsons Ultimate Showdown!

Round 4; 16 Competitors Remain:

KRUSTY THE CLOWN VS KANG & KODOS

Krusty the Clown TidBit: The third season episode "Like Father, Like Clown" is the first to establish that Krusty is Jewish. Krusty's religion had not been part of the original concept, and the idea came from Jay Kogen. The episode is a parody of The Jazz Singer, which is about a son with a strict religious upbringing who defies his father to become an entertainer. In order to make "Like Father, Like Clown" a full parody of The Jazz Singer, the decision was made to make Krusty Jewish and have his father be a rabbi.

Kang & Kodos TidBit: Kang and Kodos's names are derived from two Star Trek characters. Kang was a Klingon captain portrayed by actor Michael Ansara in "Day of the Dove", whereas Kodos the Executioner was a human villain from "The Conscience of the King".

On October 29, 1992, the Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror III" aired. This time it was Homer who warned the audience about the episode being scary with a nod to the old "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" intros. The wrap-around segments involved Lisa, Grandpa, and Bart telling a story while at a Halloween party. The three segments were "Clown Without Pity" (based on the Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll" with touches of "Child's Play" and "Gremlins"), "King Homer" (based on the original "King Kong") and "Dial 'Z' for Zombies" (based on "Pet Cemetery" and various zombie movies like "Living Dead" franchise).

Curious: which is your favorite treehouse of horror episode and which is your favorite treehouse of horror individual story

hey, i’m not sure if i could actually pick a favourite episode. i’ve always had fave stories within the episodes more… but treehouses 1-6 are hands down the best, maybe with episode 3 being my ultimate. dial ‘z’ for zombies is my very fave story ✨ but i also really love hungry are the damned, the monkey’s paw, clown without pity, nightmare cafeteria and the devil and homer simpson. all the early ones are good though really

honestly the point he makes about this fucking cheerleading dcom deliberately invoking the like original zombie mythos to make a parallel between zombie-ism as a metaphor for the horrors of slavery and the way zed uses his zombie strength to win football games and assimilate into the human world (wild sentence, stay with me) immediately makes me think of the broad and messy history of professional sports, particularly football, as an industry that grooms young men of color and especially young black men for a career in sports from as early as highschool or younger, often with the promise of free education and other financial incentives that may have been made unavailable to them by the same powers that create that industry. and about the history of black football players being funneled into positions that have a higher risk of injury, being physically and financially exploited, dealing with aggressive racism from within their own teams with limited recourse available to them.

i dont necessarily think a disney movie with white leads was maybe the best avenue to convey this story, but i do think its interesting. childrens media that chooses not to engage with real life dynamics of oppression but still wants to sell the fable of individuals overcoming it tends to fall into the common and pretty universally shitty fantasy racism trope of having an in-universe explanation for why a certain party is discriminated against, thereby painting discrimination as something defensible or at least rooted in logic however misguided. but i do think zombies at least does something kinda cool here in that zeds zombieness is shown to be beloved by his oppressors when it serves their interests and hated/feared by them when it upsets the status quo. its genuinely kind of wild to watch him being pulled between the demands of assimilation and exploitation that compel him to, in the clunky visual metaphor of the z-bands, manually dial his personhood up and down in order to serve the interests of power, which desire him (ie his body, his strength, his ability to perform) only as long as they are still in complete control of him.

and then like a pop song starts and someone with green hair does a cool flip. idk.

im so glad big joel is going to bat for disneys zombies hes right and he should say it
