At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Matt Selman recorded the screaming of The Simpsons panel audience to be used in the season’s Treehouse of Horror episode. In addition, a follow-up episode to the seventh season episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” was announced a long with a second Treehouse of Horror episode that is also planned to be broadcast this season, titled “Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes”. The episode will feature three segments parodying stories by Ray Bradbury.
