The Simpson's Too Short Story


When you are creating an episode of The Simpsons and you need a minute and a half of filler (or that is just your excuse, and you are sticking to it), who do you turn to? Edward Gorey, of course! From the cross hatching to the Vincent Price-esque narration, this is a delightfully ghoulish homage to Edward Gorey's short books.


Thanks to Mark Dery's upcoming Edward Gorey biography for bringing this short film my attention.

Just so you're aware, he actually features in two Simpsons Episodes - the other being "Yokel Chords" episode #392.

Here's a video:
