First up, io9 called our attention to a family’s recreation of the opening credits from The Simpsons. Joel Sutherland, his wife, son, and two daughters dug out their old Halloween costumes and touched on all the key moments, from Bart’s chalkboard punishment to Marge and Maggie’s grocery trip, and more. Sutherland said:
“Our kids were bored after four weeks of social isolation. My wife and I cleaned the basement and wondered what we should do with our old Simpsons Halloween costumes. One of these problems solved the other. The end result was this video.”
