The horror! Fox asks fans for 'Simpsons' promos.


Courtesy of MediaLife Magazine:
The promos for the newest “Simpsons” Halloween episode merit an official subtitle: “Edited from the electronic lagoon.” “Simpsons” fans can create their own 30-second advertisements online as part of a contest to promote Treehouse of Horror XVII, which airs on Nov. 5 on Fox. Visitors to the official “Simpsons” web site can use video clips from the episode, sound effects, music cues, text and title cards to create a preview of the Halloween episode. There's a MySpace page for the contest as well. The winner will receive tickets to the 400th “Simpsons” episode premiere and see their promo air on Fox. Remixing cartoons is becoming quite the online fascination. TurboNick, Nickelodeon’s broadband site, also recently began offering a program that lets kids mash up their favorite animated shows.
