For the episode, see Cape Feare.
Cape Fear
Town/City Information
Country: USA
State/Province: Springfield's state
First mentioned: "Cape Feare"


Cape Fear is a town in Springfield's state.

History[edit]

When Sideshow Bob was paroled from prison, stalked Bart, and threatened to kill him, Cape Fear was one of four locations the Witness Relocation Program considered as options for protecting the Simpsons by moving them and giving them new identities. The other possible locations were Terror Lake, New Horrorfield, and Screamville. The Simpsons moved to Terror Lake.

Trivia[edit]

  • The town's name is a reference to the 1991 suspense film Cape Fear which the whole episode parodies.
  • Cape Fear is a real place in North Carolina which Gregory Peck, producer of the 1962 Cape Fear, picked after looing through an atlas.
  • Irony: Towns with scary-sounding names being suggested as relocation options for the Simpsons so they can stop living in fear of Sideshow Bob.
  • Despite the episode being called "Cape Feare", the Simpsons move to Terror Lake instead.
