A recent episode of this years Simpsons (“Halloween of Horror” Season 27 Ep 4) had the Cthulhu I designed from Guillermo del Toro’s Treehouse of Horror XXIV intro making a guest appearance wandering around the background!

In 2012 I had a lot of fun working with Guillermo on storyboarding his Simpsons intro along with creating some gags and designing the “Simpson-fied” monsters! One of the gags Guillermo wanted had Bart riding his skateboard through Springfield as it was torn up by a huge Cthulhu.

Before the storyboards I sketched up a few variations, including the possibility of a Futurama guest appearance (Why not Zoidberg!?) and Guillermo chose to go forward with the first concept!

Below is part of the storyboarded Cthulhu scene~

And a screenshot of how he appeared in the final episode! Be sure to check out the full Simpsons Treehouse of Horror opening too!
