PopHorror Let's Get Scared
Halloween as a kid was completely different. Our feral butts ran all over town collecting droves of candy. Then after 9/11 2001, the world got turned upside down. We still count on one thing, a new Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror. If I could ever rank my favorite shows, it’s number 1, from 1989 to current times. Even with a bit of a change in direction and style. I am still fully in love with them. The best times are sitting on a nutty day in October, watching King Homer or Vampire Mr. Burns.
So let’s get started, join me for a trip through my top 10 Treehouse of Horror segments.
Bad Dream House

Based on The Shining, this segment would have made the movie a lot better in my opinion. Not that I don’t enjoy the movie, but I would prefer this.
A Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace
Synopsis

I was always into the Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddy has always been in my top 5 horror characters. I love the fact that he had one-liners before killing off a kid.
Dial Z for Zombies
Synopsis
After losing her cat Snowball, Lisa gets and idea to bring her back. With Barts help, they find a ressurection spell. Little do they know that repeating the words in the book raises the dead. Now its up to them to find a way to put them back in their graves.
Easily one of my favorites. I love zombies, and when they are based on comedy, like Return of the Living Dead 2. There are so many golden moments in this segment.
The Devil and Homer Simpson
Sypnosis
After he has no donuts, Homer offers his soul for a donut. He finds out that Hlanders is the devil. Homer thinks he has outsmarted the devil by not finishing the last bite of donut. After Homer eats the forbidden donut he has a trial for his soul and who it belongs to
The Jury of the damned was iconic to me, I laughed until the next week’s episode. This one out of all of them is the segment that gives me the giggles.
The Raven
Synopsis
After turning in for the night with a book, Homer hears a knock and a raven joins him for a halairious chase ensues. No matter what Homer does, it doesn’t work amd the raven just keeps messing with him.

Nightmare Cafeteria

Attack of the 50 foot Eyesores
Synopsis

What can I say? I love the Simpsons and giant statues. It fills more than one void in my life.
The Homega Man
Synopsis
After the world ends Homer is the last person alive. This makes him feel invincible an he enjoys life by himself. But was he really alone?
What makes this segment so great is Homer doing what he wants. like dancing in his underwear at church.
