The Simpsons Showrunner Says Talks Have Begun to Bring 'Treehouse of Horror' to Universal

Selman described the discussions as early and food-first, potentially signaling a path to expand The Simpsons offerings at Universal parks.

Overview

  • Showrunner Matt Selman told a D23 audience that talks have begun to bring The Simpsons' annual 'Treehouse of Horror' concept to Universal, but he cautioned the discussions are preliminary and not an official announcement.
  • Selman said the likely rollout would start with themed food offerings and then move later to a fuller guest experience, with details and timing still undecided.
  • The D23 remark did not specify which Universal parks would be involved or whether the concept would appear as part of Universal's Halloween Horror Nights or as a daytime fall offering.
  • The report was first published by LaughingPlace.com and includes video of the D23 panel, giving readers the source material to verify Selman's cautious comments.
  • The idea builds on long-running Simpsons attractions in Universal's Springfield areas and raises questions about how Disney ownership of the franchise will affect future licensing and park collaborations.
