The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror II" segment, featuring a cursed monkey's paw, has inspired the horror movie Obsession. Legendary writers Al Jean and Mike Reiss share their thoughts on the connection, with Reiss admitting he was "blown away" by the film. The segment's origins trace back to W. W. Jacobs' 1902 short story "The Monkey’s Paw".
