Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro was recently handed one of the toughest jobs in his career, even in showbizness..

Tasked with writing and creating the opening sequence for the forthcoming Treehouse of Horror XXIV episode of The Simpsons, the two-and-a-half minute clip doesn’t disappoint. Covering homage to nearly every infamous horror movie you could think of, the opening is like a mini-movie in itself.

Featuring cuts from the likes of Blade, Hellboy and even appearances from Stephen King, this is one hell of a clip you’ll want to play again and again!

Treehouse of Horror XXIV airs this Sunday in the US, with a Channel 4 airing likely by the end of the year.
