Notice I didn't put an exact date for when Monsterfest starts in the title. I'm not quite sure when it starts. The American Movie Classics site doesn't have an exact start date. If you click on Monsterfest Schedule it goes to October 21, and the first couple of movies are The Birds and Psycho, but then there are a few war movies and dramas, so I'm not sure if this is the "official" start of the Monsterfest but I'll take their own link as gospel.

Apparently, someone had some free time on his or her hands and used it to post various stills from The Simpsons episodes which mimic various famous movie or television scenes. Considering that the show has been around for almost 20 years, it's certainly had time to get such pastiche correct.

These stills seem to originate from earlier episodes, back when the naysayers would say the show was good. I admit I don't recognize every Simpsons episode in the list (or for that matter every movie still in the list), but it's easy to tell that the writers and animators were trying to reference the original movie or show for satire's sake.

While writer Joseph Stefano is undoubtedly best known for writing the script for the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller Psycho, Stefano also had a television career as well. He was one of the co-creators of the 60s sci-fi/horror anthology series The Outer Limits. He also wrote for other TV projects, including Star Trek: TNG, Swamp Thing, the original TV movie for The Magician and the movies Snowbeast and A Death of Innocence.

Stefano died last Friday in California. No cause of death was announced.
