“OK, crow, prepare to be scared.” Another Futurama Literary Reference

(part of my ongoing Unexpected Literary References series)

Stephen King work makes as many cartoon appearances it seems as Stephen King books do bookshelves. This reference, from the Wizard of Oz spoof segment of the Futurama episode Anthology of Interest II (Season 3, episode 21) occurs when Fry, portraying the Scarecrow, attempts to scare a crow by reading a section from Stephen King’s novel, Christine.

Fry: OK, crow, prepare to be scared.
