Promo Contest Gives Simpsons Fans A Chance To Fulfill Their Destiny

Simpsonsalien It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Simpsons fanatics: Halloween, when FOX unveils the annual Treehouse Of Horror episode. This year, FOX has upped the ante. A new online contest lets fans edit their own promos for the upcoming "Treehouse Of Horror XVII," which airs November 5.

Through some sort of newfangled technology, viewers can log on here and actually cut together a 30-second promo using clips from the show, plus titles, music, and sound effects. Finally, that semester of film theory you took sophomore year will come in handy.

Aside from earning the distinction of Best Promo Ever, the winners receive cool Simpsons memorabilia. If FOX sees fit, winners might even see their promos featured on the air, and on the FOX website. Even non-winners can enjoy the fun of sending their creations to friends and fellow Simpsons geeks.

Not surprisingly, FoxSpace -- I mean MySpace -- has a Simpsons site that’s plugging the bejesus out of the contest. All in all, it’s a fun idea that gives the viewers a level of interaction rarely available. For us, it’s just one more excuse to spend time online watching Simpsons clips.
