Futurama just added another episode to its small catalogue of horror stories, with season 11 continuing an odd slasher trend from the original show.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Futurama season 11 continued plenty of popular arcs from the original series, but it also brought back a weird horror storyline from 23 years ago. Futurama is a sci-fi comedy series, meaning that horror is a genre that the show doesn't delve into often. When it does, however, it seems to follow a peculiar pattern, with season 11 brining back Futurama's strange horror gimmick in an odd way.
Futurama is finally back, with Hulu reviving the beloved Matt Groening sci-fi series for an eleventh season. Futurama season 11 was acclaimed by critics and fans alike, with viewers praising the series' clever writing, characters, and animation. Some fans have even claimed that season 11 is just as good as the original Futurama series, leading many to cross their fingers for a Futurama season 12 renewal.
Futurama Season 11 Features Another Slasher Story About Cars Futurama season 11 oddly calls back to the original series by featuring another slasher story about cars. The episode "The Prince and the Product" features a segment in which the Futurama universe is entirely made up of cars, with the Planet Express crew each being a different type of motor vehicle.
Strangely enough, this isn't the first time Futurama has featured a killer car. One of Futurama's only other horror stories is season 2, episode 18, "The Honking," with the episode following Bender as he attempts to escape a demonic werecar. As a parody of movies like The Howling and Christine, the episode wears its horror and slasher inspirations on its sleeve.
Why Futurama Doesn’t Do Halloween Episodes Futurama's horror catalog is so small mainly because the show doesn't do Halloween episodes. While the series is full of Xmas specials, Halloween is a holiday that the show barely touches on, leading many to wonder why. One potential reason is that the show's Xmas specials are scary enough, with many of them focusing on the gang evading a killer Santa. However, there is a more likely theory that some fans have clung to for years.
