But like... What's the credit's theme though? 22:12
Thanks for the Simpsons Game throwback!
I miss when Treehouse of Horror episodes were creepy and not just random movie parodies.
There have always been movie parodies. It’s just that they used to be better written.
The Treehouse of Horror episodes are supposed to be about scary horror stuff but the new episodes can be about everything and is often not even about horror anymore.
Also the old Treehouse of Horror episodes could often have a creepy, disturbing and scary atmosphere to them but the new episodes only try to be funny.
@@snowyyzoe I think by "random" they meant "non-horror"; The Shining makes sense, Avatar does not.
@@CyberLance26 EXACTLY!!
Not to mention a mediocre Stranger Things parody
The problem with the newer ones is that instead of playing off of common horror tropes for a Halloween special, they’re just straight up parodies of whatever’s trending at the time. Horror or not.
They’ve quite literally lost the Halloween spirit.
Sadly true, atleast recently they’ve done stranger things and coraline but even then they could be so much better
*Season 31's Treehouse of Horror was great though. These videos just serve to kill a great show's consistently strong writing.*
*Even ALL of the old Tree house episodes ARE movie tributes, ripped from famous 1930s/1940s films.*
@@xtzyshuadog sir have you been paid by the simpsons
The Simpsons has long lost The Simpsons spirit.
“Homer did you barricade the door?” “Why?”
“Oh the zombies”
“Dad you killed zombie Flanders!”
“He was a zombie?”
And “oh no Barney you’re a zombie too?”
“ nah homer I’m fine but you know when in home” 😂🤣

The problem is, they're just movie parodies. And they aren't even horror movie parodies anymore

@@xtzyshuadog what with the *B O L D* text?
@@xtzyshuadog They’re rarely HORROR movie parodies anymore, the Treehouse Of HORROR has just become the Treehouse Of Pop Culture.
It's not even necessarily just this, because they've gone great movie-parody TOH, it's that they aren't doing them because they have solid jokes to make out of the properties, they're just doing it because 'oh this thing is popular'
Bart: Dad you killed Zombie Flanders!
Homer: he was a Zombie?
Is this the end for Zombie Shakespeare?
One of my favourite lines in the whole show.
That first line was from Marge
@@ShinigamiKristak No that was Bart.
@@Garethsmod It was funnier when Marge said it

For those wondering, the "bad person" is John Kricfalusi, Creator of Ren and Stimpy
and he's completely right

EVIIIIIILL
Boy that Homer Simpsons cosplay was something else. I want that mask.
Big fan
Woah, you're here Noble CEO....
Hey I am the guy that killed your discord
what mask lol?
They just painted Shrek yellow
Treehouse of Horror used to be more self-aware, poking fun at moments in the movies or horror related things they were parodying, sometimes they provided light, hilarious commentary on issues at the time like that election episode where Kang and Kodos disguised themselves as the presidential nominees. Now, they just put Simpsons characters into [BLANK] and go from there, struggling to remain relevant in today's world.
Exaclty
The episode where the teachers cannibalised the kids genuinely terrified me as a kid, always get chills when that episode comes on. Defo the most shocking
this is a pretty nice analysis of how the Treehouses have changed over the years- early episodes went more for spooks, later episodes just went for parody and body counts.

@@michaeltenenbaum8450 same!
Minion Simpson is easily the scariest part of this Halloween
Yellow popular thing + Yellow popular thing = Nightmare Fuel
With Roman Numerals, you can still read them as numbers; for example: XVIII would be pronounced “Eighteen”
I like how the ad came on when Homer said, "We'll be right back."
Literally commented this like seconds ago. I thought it was very clever.
@@kermitzc00l24 well, that was the point of the joke.
I really like halloween of horror from season 27 because it has homer actually being a good dad in modern simpsons
The way that was so much better than this years treehouse of horror
I tremember the first time i ever watched the first Halloween Episode as a kid. It deeply impressed me and left a HUGE longlasting impression. The style was radical different and there was a strong eerie atmosphere in every story. I LOVED the style of it. The lighting, the camera angles and the overall writing as well. As a kid i had NEVER seen anything like that elsewhere in any other cartoon show. Compare that to the current Halloween episodes and it's like seeing an old childhood friend who's gone crazy, unpredictable and suffering from Drug abuse. Whole personality completely destroyed and it just hurts to see it because you are constantly reminded how low things have come.
The only scary part about the Simpson's Treehouse of Horror nowadays is the number beside each installment.
To many, the Lady Gaga is the worst episode of The Simpsons. To me, it's the Spiderman Treehouse of Horror episode. It felt like even lazier Family Guy.
I liked that one.
I didnt like anatomy correct spiderman homer either, likely just for the kids watching. Or they were high idk
Newer Family Guy the early family guys are some of the funniest television ever
Haha spiderhomo go pfft pfft
i understand the pain we suffered seeing that
It felt exactly like Family Guy
The Shining parody is my personal favorite
shh...do you wanna get sued?
That's odd. Usually the blood gets off at the second floor.
I love the part when Homer scares the crap out of himself.
“Pathetic humans! They made a video about Halloween episodes...in November!”
“Who’s still thinking about Halloween? We’ve already got our CHRISTMAS decorations up!”
True
AAAAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
The Treehouse of Horror episodes are supposed to be about scary horror stuff but many of the new episodes can be about everything and is often not even about horror anymore.
Also the old Treehouse of Horror episodes could often have a creepy, disturbing and scary atmosphere to them but the new episodes only try to be funny.
Fun fact the Simpson’s raven was one of the most accurate adaptations ever
1. Having the best Treehouse of Horror episodes be from seasons 1-9 makes believe more that those seasons + movie form part of the Simpsons canon.
2. I always thought that if they had the intentions of ending the show then they would end with 31 Halloween specials for every day of the month ( like you said).
Some pretty weird thoughts of mine...
Edgar Allen Poe’s inclusion in the opening title sequence is legitimately more recognition that he ever got during his time alive
Imagine putting out a Halloween special on November 1st.
It's been happening since 2000s mainly bcuz of sports
They've been doing that for years because of the World Series
@@thadonmel5352 it was a JOKE.ever herd of them?
When I was a kid, these were always my favourite episodes of the entire series -- but now I am appreciating the subtle commentaries of the standard episides in the classic era. I don't watch any of the modern seasons, but I always check out the latest ToH episodes (and they usually remind me why I stopped watching the new episodes). Like you've said, SOMETIMES there's a new diamond in the rough, though!
You uploaded a Halloween video, in November? Who's still thinking about Halloween, I've already got my Christmas decorations up!
Treehouse of Horror episodes are my favorite too, you can tell the writers and animators have a ton of fun making them.
Even the boring ones have elements that make it worth watching, and I personally think if they wanted to they could make a show with this concept.
Oh, you accidentally forgot to put a timestamp for the Surfshark ad, here, let me help: 6:34-7:38
There, now people know E V E R Y section of the video :>
I think the writers have done too many pop culture references, whereas the earlier specials were more direct parodies that made sense within The Simpsons!
One thing I can say: they are memorable in a weird way.
Have you ever been in the situation where you're dreaming, and suddenly you know you're dreaming? It happens to me with nightmares. Things are starting to become incredibly spooky (in dream) and somehow my mind shifts out and kinda says "Yeah, something really scary is about to happen. Just GTFO and wake up". And then you wake up kinda startled but not truly scared.
Well, this happens to me with the Treehouse of Horror episodes. I might be having a "normal" dream and everything plays out as normal, but as soon as I see the Simpsons doing something weird as they would do in a Treehouse episode, that's the cue for my mind to realize I'm about to walk into a nightmare. I've escaped 90% of my nightmares by just realizing that I shouldnt be watching a Treehouse of Horror episode in a dream.
Here in finland we dont do halloween. But the treehouses are always the best episodes.
This is indeed a disturbing universe
?????: That's not even half of it, take it from me!
2020
Is the pronouncing the Roman numerals by letters instead of numbers a thing on this channel? Seems really odd
He's either dumb or trying to reference a gag from the simpsons.
"Mr. Ploot?! Homer Simpsons here! When you sold me this house you forgot to mention one little thing...you didn't tell me that it was built..ON AN INDIAN BURIAL GROUND...NO YOU DIDN'T...WELL THAT'S NOT MY RECOLLECTION...YEAH WELL...ALRIGHT, GOODBYE!
He says he mentioned it five or six times..."
5:34” uh chief I think that was the captain of the varsity basketball team.” “ well, um he was turning into a monster” 🤣
Yeah, the new Treehouse of Horrors are awful, they are not even funny anymore.
I find most of the new ones unoriginal but it's not anything that's not worth watching.
literal political propaganda now
I still find them entertaining for the most part, but the writing is not as strong as it used to be.
TheNefariousNerdneck like what? I havent watched but i believe it
@@ericg1100 newest one just trashes trump for no reason
i don't like the guy but i watch the simpsons to laugh not hear about politics
“HEEEERRRREEE’S JOHNNY!”
*d’oh!*
“DAVID LETTEEEERMAAAN!”
“Hi David I’m grandpa!”
*d’oh!*
“I’m Mike Wallace, I’m Morley Safer, and I’m Ed Bradley! All this and Andy Rooney tonight on 60 minutes!”
*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
8:57: *_"And sentient dolphins take over Springfield."_*
Bubbles the Dolphin: Interesting... This is indeed one disturbing universe.
I always hated Thursday
Ahh, yes.... 'Halloween of Horror'... REAL drama, REAL character development, REAL arcs... THIS is what modern Simpsons is so sorely lacking, and we need more of it.
Hi I'm Troy McClure you might remember me from such credits lists showcases as That's Not Mall Folks "A MOA Interactive Guide" and The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy: The Credits Continue; Today I'm welcoming you to the list of couch gags credits which include the likes of: The Rick and Morty Team, Guillermo Del Toro, "The Guy who Did Ren and Stimpy who isn't Bob Camp", and many more!
Loved that xena/lucy lawless cameo. That one is still awesome
frogurt and set to evil will always be my favourite tree house of horror story
I remember I looked forward to them every Halloween, haven’t watched Simpsons in 5 years 😔.I wouldn’t mind Halloween content in November, months as dry as turkey
I just experienced s perfect timing, when homer said “we’ll be right back” an ad played...
I absolutely loved Halloween of Horror and i'm so glad somebody finally spoke about it because it's such a hidden gem
I know it was probably intentional but I love how when Kent Brockman’s talking about going to an ad break then Homer says “We’ll be right back” and then an ad plays in the video
Mamma mia, you can never have enough spaghet. *Meatball, meatball, spaghetti underneath. Ravioli, ravioli, Great Barrier Reef!*

@@cotta624 E. Go smack that assieoli.
Kent Brockman warned me of Advertisements right before I got an ad
**Reads title**
Me a die hard Simpsons fan:
*”D’oh!!!”*
6:35 another good use of ad break (and sponsor) following a subject in the video 👏
that we'll be right back was placed so perfectly I literally got an ad at that exact moment it was beautiful
I didn't think this year's Treehouse of Horror was *that* bad, but last year's was complete garbage.
The one before featured a very emotional one called Geriatric Park. The ending always made me cry.
I agree, those 2 recent halloween themed no treehouse episodes are the best the new episodes have to offer
6:33 when homer said "We'll be right back" that one Discovery ad where they go "How about no?" Started playing. I immediately tarted laughing.
as a child who didn't like halloween, i loved the treehouse of horror. That and Goosebumps is definitely what got me into horror as a kid
Same
At art collage we went to see that Imax movie. It was pretty fun to watch Homer 3 in actual 3D in Imax
Were you out looking for a missing lemon tree the day they taught Roman numerals??
The Homerzilla commentary was on-point, because America has tried and failed time and again to make a good Godzilla movie
You mean the one time and then the 2014 godzilla and the excellent king of the monsters sequel? That's not "time and time again". That's literally one fail and one success
Halloween of Horror was truly one of the best episodes of the last 5 or so years. Love how they did an actual canon Halloween episode, and it was an excellent Homer-Lisa story with great writing and animation throughout the episode. It felt way more like horror than the actual THOH episode was from that season.
Oh man, when rating the episodes at the end and mentioning their number, it totally bugged me saying literally the letters: X-V-I-I-I, you should've said the number, #18
You... Can't read roman numbers?
Someone else noticed. I at first thought it was a joke, but he kept doing it. Now, I'm convinced he can't.
It’s not something that’s commonly taught.
It was bothering me so much lol
@@taylorboney1089 You're kidding. In the USA??
C 5 I’m not sure about other schools in the USA but where I went I don’t remember learning how to read Roman numerals until I took Latin in highschool.
10:08 But I like being a human. We don't have to worry about fleas.
6:25
I actually got an ad once this bit was over
You saying the roman numerals as letters filled me with rage. Great video.
This is SUCH a great ToH retrospective, and I’m glad you gave Halloween of Horror and Thanksgiving of Horror shout outs. It’s kinda crazy that in 32 seasons there’s only been 1 real episode that is set ON Halloween
The first 2 or 3 are set on Halloween lmfao
1 real episode, as in 1 actual Simpsons story that isn’t Treehouse of Horror format
I didn’t realize Lenny was the first kill 😔
My favorite "Tree House of Horror" segmant is "The Devil and Homer Simpson"
"Think of me on Pizza Fridays."
"No."
I always watch Terror Tales from the Park every Halloween. I watched maybe 2 of the Treehouse of Horror but I know which ones I'll check out next year. Nice video
The thing that most scaried me was the simpsons dolls t-posing in nick's house
I loved season 2 The Raven I look forward to seeing it every Halloween James Earl Jones voice is so soothing
The treehouse of horror were my favorite episodes as a kid. I look forward to them every year. I even do a binge watch on all the episodes near Halloween.
Personally my favourite segment has always been the Evil Krusty Doll one. That one has always made me laugh.
nice to see another NICKtendo vid
Brilliant video! Nicely done man 🔥
Imagine a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror segment that seems to set up a parody of Demon Slayer only to reveal its the cast of Demon Slayer doing a recreation of Who Shot Mr. Burns
"Treehouse of Horror X" is the last one I fully enjoyed. I continued watching them up to "XVII", but they were fully into _Zombie Simpsons_ mode by then - mediocre to terrible. A handful of individual segments were decent, but even they tended to fizzle out with weak conclusions.
man i used to love treehouse of horror episodes as a kid!!
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.
Another excellent video Nick.
gota love the shinning parody episode. I just love how homers madness is fuelled by getting a beer from Moe XD
When homer said “we’ll be right back” I got a TH-cam ad. Then I got a nicktendo ad lol
As soon as homer said Well be right back an ad played
That is some dedication to video making
i saw this yesterday and was thinking about making a video on it, thanks nicktendo
I watched all of these in October. Needless to say, it got tougher as they went on. Great video!!
“And a bad person” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😤 brilliant writing for this episode of Nicktendo
14:04 sorry if im just missing the joke, but who was this person?
The creator of Ren and Stimpy, John Kricfalusi
John K did nothing wrong
@@doctorfrosty3546 John did many things wrong, some much worse than others.
@@doctorfrosty3546 He was literally a pedophile
@@doctorfrosty3546 What. He litteraly groomed a 14 year old girl.
Man the timing on that ad also I think treehouse 28 is one of my all time favorites

I love the treehouse of horror episodes there some of my favourite episodes in the season.
I remember when I was young I was scared of the Gracie films logo at the end because of the organ music and the scream.
Yes! I saw Cyberworld in the cinema, I remember this! I was so young, for so long I couldn't think of what it was.
That intro just got me thinking that Stallone really should have subtitled Creed I "Adrian's Revenge".
I've always been lukewarm on The Simpsons, but I LOVE Treehouse of Horror since it's the one time the team gets to be actually creative and animate cool shit
I know it's the most minimal thing but I love that their parody of Dalí isn't limited to the melting clocks everyone knows, but referencing also the twisted ways in which he drew people like in his self-portraits.
Hah i enjoyed the hit and run shop menu music during the ad break. Nice touch
