Thats the classic shit :) i remember as a kid i always watched it from our vhs player at least 5x each halloween and also during the year...
“Treehouse of Horror” is pretty interesting, though not very entertaining. I can see what the writers were going for, but I don't feel they hit the right blend with this initial instalment. However, I did enjoy the “Hungry Are the Damned” segment.
Overall, not very good, but showing potential.
"Quoth the raven: Eat my shorts!"
I do like how 2/3 of this is parodies of classic things though - the Kang & Kodos segment is a parody of that one Twilight Zone episode (I think it's called "To Serve Man?"), and the final being a parody/interpretation of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe.
The first segment with the house is pretty good too. I like how the basement door is literally the only thing between them and the burial ground, as well as most of the tombstones being references.
[7.7/10] An original and a classic. The "Bad Dream" house segment has some genuinely creepy scares, some really cool animation and uses of color, and even an amusing twist ending with a wry-one liner to go out on. "Hungry Are the Damned" is a superb introduction for Kang and Kodos, with the usual "they're trying to eat us" trope being well-deployed. And the final story, doing a semi-faithful recitation of The Raven is just outstanding. It finds a way to be true to the source material (with James Earl Jones's great delivery helping) while at the same time putting The Simpsons own spin on it and adding in some Tom and Jerry-like fun.
Overall, it's not hard to see why this became one of the show's grand traditions with how fun and creative the show's writers, performers, and animators could be here.
The first story still my favorite but all 3 are great.
A real classic
The start of a tradition. Takes a while to get funny but it's all worth it to hear Homer recite parts of The Raven
i love this episode. I always liked watching the rerun of this because if the interpretation of "The Raven".
First threehouse of horror, a great one
