by

As a huge Simpsons fan, I was really excited to see a new clip from Simpsons Declassified! It’s so cool to hear Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart!), Sofy Kurtz, and director Mark Kirkland talk about how the legendary “Treehouse of Horror” Halloween specials came to be. The whole series Simpsons Declassified seems dedicated to diving into the history of The Simpsons, which is a dream come true for someone like me!

As a huge fan of The Simpsons, I’ve been loving the podcast hosted by Nancy Cartwright – you know, the voice of Bart, Ralph, and Nelson – and her co-host Sofy Kurtz. They really dig into the show’s history, and it’s been fascinating to hear stories not just from the people who make the show, but also from some of the amazing guest stars who’ve been on it over the years.

In a clip shared with ScreenRant, director David Kirkland remembers taking the helm of the “Treehouse of Horror VIII” episode in season 9 and how much he enjoyed the table reads for The Simpsons. You can watch the clip above and find details about the new podcast episode below.

The show has a rich history, and now the focus is shifting to its beloved Halloween specials. They’re joined by Mark Kirkland, a director who’s worked on more than 80 episodes, to discuss these fan-favorite installments.

As a huge Simpsons fan, I always knew Bob Kirkland was a key figure. He stepped in as a director during the show’s second season and was behind some of the most iconic episodes ever – like “Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk,” “Kamp Krusty,” and “Last Exit to Springfield.” Because he’s been with the show for so long, he really gets what makes the Halloween specials so special and how they became such a big part of The Simpsons’ legacy.

The hosts share entertaining stories about jokes that were nearly left out, which will delight fans of The Simpsons. Kirkland also reveals how they made each Treehouse of Horror segment stand out and shares the valuable lessons they learned from Matt Groening and James L. Brooks during the creative process.
