There is no greater Halloween tradition to me than The Simpson’s “Treehouse of Horror”. Granted, it’s usually a POST-Halloween tradition as far was watching the new episode is concerned.

This year is no different, as the 17th annual Treehouse of Horror episode doesn’t air until Nov. 4th - but - since I refuse to let Halloween go buy without enjoying this marvelous Simpsons tradition, I present to you, the Top 5 Simpsons “Treehouse of Horror” Segments of All Time with VIDEO.

5. The Raven

Narrated by the always awesome James Earl Jones, this segment from the very first Simpsons Halloween Special still holds up as one of the very best from the entire 16 year run (thus far) of the specials.

4. The Bart Zone

A great Simpsons parody of a classic Twilight Zone episode. I remember the Twlight Zone episode being REALLY creepy. This one, while funny, actually pulls off the creepy vibe pretty well too.

3. The Ned Zone

Two Zones in one list…would you look at that. This one is a parody of Stephen King’s “The Dead Zone” is possibly one of my favorite Simpsons segments of all time.


2. A Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace

This exceptionally well done Simpsons take on a Nightmare on Elm Street captured the fun of the the “Nightmare” series better than half of the actual “Nightmare” sequels….

1. The Shinning

“Don’t Mind if I do!” is probably my favorite Simpsons quote of all time - not because of the words, but because of the great delivery. This is hands down, the BEST Simpsons Halloween segment ever.

So that’s my list - yours is probably different. Sound off in the comments below about your thoughts on the greatest “Treehouse of Horror” segments of all time!!!
