Abstract

This article focuses on parodies based on stories in The Simpsons TV series, inspired by Gothic literature, in order to investigate the way such recreations dialogue with the source texts and with the theme of Halloween. The theoretical basis of this article will be Umberto Eco´s (2001) reflections on the role of mass culture nowadays; David Punter´s (1996)  analysis of specific features of the Gothic literature; Alberto Manguel´s (2005) distinction of the concepts of terror and horror; Julio Plaza´s (2001) reflections on signical transcreation and intertextuality; and, finally, Linda Hutcheon´s  (1986) studies of adaptation and parody
