THE-SIMPSONS-TREEHOUSE-OF-HORROR-20_zps90c5ed86.jpg


Because we're going to need a thread for comments and it was a blast chatting with folks during the full series marathon this summer.
Better yet this will be a marathon you can experience in full without falling asleep as it will only run you 12 hours.

I"ll watch the first ten or so. Even the Treehouse of Horror episodes start getting bad at that point.

The endings of Nightmare Cafeteria & In the Belly of the Boss still creep me out to this day.

I might watch it, though I set my DVR to record the ones I want to rewatch the most.

Also holy crap, they seriously put a lot of effort into the promo art with XVI & beyond.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
One of my favorite touches with the first ToH is James Earl Jones having a role in every short.

"Hey, if you don't like it, go to Russia" So that's where that's from.

Just hit me. Maggie's wish didn't have any consequences. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the whole "Monkey Paw's wish"?

ALSO, ONE COULD SAY THIS IS FORESHADOWING OF FUTURE SIMPSONS EPISODES.

They thought it would be the car, but it ended up being a pacifier.

NOOOOOOOOPE, I WAS GONNA TURN THE TV OFF AT THAT SCENE, I DON'T WANNA SEE IT.

That scene at the end of In the Belly of the Boss also gives me the creeps.

One of these days, I should see the Twilight Zone episode this was based on. I can't remember, was it just in that movie, or was it in the TV show as well.

Welcome to Bonerland.

"Hey everybody. I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt"
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
"Damn it Smithers this isn't rocket science, this is brain surgery!"
"Look at me I'm Davy Crockett!"

For the longest time, I thought the fake preview was real.

It took me a few years to get Bart was dressed as a Clockwork Orange character, along with some of the other references the show threw in.

It was in the original series, too. The episode is called It's a Good Life.

"Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse"
"Oh that's bad"
"But it comes with a free Frogurt"
"That's good"
"The frogurt is also cursed"
"That's bad"
"But you get your choice of topping"
"That's good"
"The toppings contain potassium benzoate"
"..."
"That's bad"
"Can I go now?"
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
"Women and seamen don't mix"
"We all know what you think!"

I missed the subtly of Smithers' homosexuality, compared to now...
 

Zonic

Took me a LOONNNGG time to get that woman & seaman joke.

"I wish we were going to Candy Apple Island."

"Candy Apple Island?! What do they got there?"

"Apes, but they're not so big."
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
"I was strolling through the gas one daaaay"
"Nice work Smithers, when we get back I'm giving you a raise" *Homer eats him* "Oh well"

So many great moments.

Rewatching that years later, it was neat to see the small touches that made it look even more like the original King Kong.
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
"Dad, we did something bad!"
"Did you wreck the car?"
"Noo"
"Did you raise the dead?"
"Yes!"
"But the car's okay?"
"Uh huh"
"Alright then".

I love how offended Homer is when the zombies won't eat his brain.

"Dad, you killed the Zombie Flanders!"
"He was a zombie?"
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
That couch gag did Zombie Simpsons years before the "Zombie Simpsons" era began.

Man, what's with FXX's obsession of commercial where it's just repeating certain dialogue &/or scenes over & over.

FYI, Conan O'Brien wrote all of the in-between segments for THOH IV that take place in the art gallery.
