Even in classic seasons, Treehouse of Horror has always been my least favorite Simpsons thing - but the frogurt segment is definitely an All Time Classic

 

[Zonic]

Easily ToH V. Though I have to say, I have to stop the episode before the ending plays, because it still grosses me out. The Krusty Doll one was also good.

Easily one of my favorite jokes from the series. Even better is watching the commentary & having everyone else laugh along.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Close call between Shinning and Time and Punishment.

I was more excited to watch TOH eps than go trick or treating, it was an event. Was obsessed with cg anything at the time so Homer3 was a beautiful thing to see. That water.

 

[mf.luder]

He was a zombie?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Personally I always thought the stupidity was part of the joke.

I guess it was just never that funny of a joke to me.

 

[Langdon Alger]

My favorite is the evil Krusty doll segment.

[zeemumu]

I always like The Raven in the first one.

[Like the hat?]

Remember when I told Jimbo Jones I'd MAKE something of him one day?

Are you saying you killed Jimbo, processed his carcass and served him for lunch?

You might even say we just ate Üter, and he's in our stomachs right now!

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Frogurt, duh.

That or the zombie one from the same one.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Wait, scratch that last one.

Everytime they air reruns on tv and it's ToH i'm pretty pissed because i don't like them but the only Treehouse of Horror that i pleasantly rewatch is Homer^3.

Came here for this.

Ah yeah, the awesome 3D one too.

Interesting

They've been a personal favourite. Or, at least were in the classic years.

 

[Mister Negative]

I have a confession: Usually, when I'm rewatching Simpsons seasons on DVD or whatever, I skip the treehouses.

I don't know why. I guess i consider them outside of...the canon?

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Always

Well yeah...otherwise that's a fairly extensive skin graft procedure they had to do on the lot of em

Binged the first six or so TOH on SimpsonsWorld recently, it's a bit easier to digest them that way vs mixing with regular eps. Helps if you like horror anthology campiness in general though.

 

[RPGCrazied]

You guys should give out season numbers. I own the first 13 seasons on DVD. Would watch some on Halloween.

SUPER FUN HAPPY SLIDE!

Season 6 (TOH V), with Shinning, Time and Punishment, and Nightmare Cafeteria is pretty much universally thought of as the best one, as this thread's showing as well.

Thanks, I'll watch those.

[Randam]

I really like the first one.
Haunted house, abducted by aliens and the raven.

And the kids actual are sitting in the treehouse.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It's a weird detour in the middle of a binge watch of normal episodes.

 

[Escape Goat]

I've gone back to the time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to ZOOS!

 

[MiamiWesker]

I just watched V and yep it's the best one. Time and punishment is so good. And don't forget the inside out song.

 

[reelbigtink]

Grandpa you said that about all the presents

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I just want attention...

Time & Punishment. I think this started my love of stories featuring lots of alternate universes/timelines.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

I really like the first one.

Yeah the first one really comes out strong, all three pieces are great.

I love how it is just Bart and Lisa telling each other scary stories, it is a great setup. The next few seasons have great wraparounds too with them having nightmares from eating too much candy and telling scary stories at a party but then they started to drop that stuff completely. Too bad, I really liked it.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Older Treehouse of Horror are a goldmine of Simpson classic scenes.

Will always be my favorite. Classic Simpsons humor.

 

[Macleoid]

Good choices above so something different. The one were Marge gets Hal in the voice of Pierce Brosnon as the automated house system.

Oh yes. Oh oh dear me. Demonseed simpsons is best simpsons, treehouse 12 I think.

Claymation Homer.

Always and forever.

 

[admiraltaftbar]

The Raven is the best segment just because it does the poem justice in Simpsons fashion (plus the ending with Homer being scared but the kids not is great).

Treehouse of Horror V is the best Halloween episode though. Honestly it is also one of the best episodes of the Simpsons period. The parodies are on point, the jokes all hit perfectly, the animation is great and the performances from all the cast (and guest appearance by James Earl Jones) are awesome. It's just a perfect embodiment of the crazier side of the show but it doesn't sacrifice good writing just to be weird.

 

[TheUntamedLegend]

Claymation Homer.

Always and forever.

It was computer animation.
It was a big deal then.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This was the most incredible thing I ever saw as a young lad...including the Myst library.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

^^ Same, the fact we were seeing that premiere on TV was kinda mind blowing too. The whole sequence with the water pool and fish was crazy to me back then.

 

[Platy]

This is my vote easily

Great classics already mentioned, love The Raven and The Shinning. The Pierce Brosnon/HAL House was terrific; a real gem at a time when the Treehouses started slipping to me. Pierce was just hilarious. Constable Wiggum, hehe.

What a great scene. Also "Fire. And lots of it."

 

[mhayes86]

I loved this one so much, and always got a kick out of the end when Homer was sucked into the hole and fell into our reality.

Treehouse of Horror was always great as a kid, because so many episodes were parodies of The Twilight Zone, which I watched a lot with my dad and understood the references.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Shinning, for sure.

On a side note, we watched the most recent Treehouse a few days back and couldn't even make it through the whole episode. It's like a soulless parody of The Simpsons.

We immediately went back and watched one of the old ones to cleanse the palate.
