I shall review and rank every Treehouse of Horror.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR I

BAD DREAM HOUSE
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "He said he mentioned it 5 or 6 times."

And, it's ACTUALLY scary! The warning at the start of the episode isn't bullshit. This put Simpsons Halloween on the map.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR I
HUNGRY ARE THE DAMNED
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: "On this cable system we receive over one million channels from the furthest reaches of the galaxy. " "Do you have HBO?" "No, that would cost extra."

What do aliens have to do with Halloween? :P

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR I
THE RAVEN
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: (Technically from the wraparound) "Hey, that's a school book!" "Don't worry, Bart. You won't learn anything."

Some people hate this. I'm such a huge Poe fan that I actually like this a lot. Debate away.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR II
LISA'S NIGHTMARE (aka The Monkey's Paw)
Rating: Great
Best Line: "I wish for world peace!" "LISA! That was very selfish of you!"

My Dad still uses the line "as the pants wearer of this house" all the time too. Just a great episode. "Get a mammogram, man!"

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR II
BART'S NIGHTMARE (aka The Bart Zone)
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: "The kick is up, it's looking good.....the ball is turning into a fat baaaald guy!"

I just adore this episode. The turning Homer into the ball gag still absolutely kills me. Never gets old

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR II
HOMER'S NIGHTMARE (aka If I Only Had a Brain)
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: "Every bone shattered.. organs leaking vital fluids.. a slight headache.. loss of appetite.. Smithers, I'm going to die."

It was hard to choose the best line. I love this one!

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR III
CLOWN WITHOUT PITY
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "The doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughin' at me!"

Or "Someone set this doll to evil!"

A lot of people love this one more than me. It's really, really great, but not an all-timer.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR III
KING HOMER
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: "Of course! We wouldn't think of going without the bait.. that uh is the bait-hing beauty.. the bathing beauty! Huh, I covered that up pretty well!"

I like this a lot more now than when I was a little kid. Awesome

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR III
DIAL"Z" FOR ZOMBIE
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: "You shot the zombie Flanders!" "He was a zombie?"

Okay, yes, obvious choice. Classic for a reason.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR IV
THE DEVIL AND HOMER SIMPSON
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "Arrrgh, this chair be high, says I!"

Sorry, I quote that one all the time.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR IV
TERROR AT 5 1/2 FEET
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "If I lean over, I leave myself open to wedgies, wet-willies, and even the dreaded rear admiral!"

The first episode that isn't really REALLY good. Just okay.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR IV
HONORABLE MENTION

"THEY'RE DOGS.. AND THEY'RE PLAYING POKER!!"

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR IV
BART SIMPSON'S DRACULA
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "Dad, that's his crotch."

The low hanging fruit because Bram Stoker's Dracula is so god awful. But, it has so many great moments.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR V
THE SHINNING
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: "You have the Shinning!" "You mean SHINING!" "Quiet, do you want to get sued?"

Everyone's favorite. Not mine, but it's up there.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR V
TIME AND PUNISHMENT
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "Wow! I'm the first non-Brazillian person to travel backwards through time!"

I was REALLY close to giving this Masterpiece but it's lacking a certain something to put it over the top.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR V
NIGHTMARE CAFETERIA
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "In fact, you might even say we just ate Uter, and he's in our stomachs.. right now! HAHAHA oh wait, scratch that one."

I don't think V is the best Treehouse episode, but it's top 5 for sure. All about Shinning.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VI
ATTACK OF THE 50-FOOT EYESORES
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "Uh chief, that wasn't a monster, that was the captain of the basketball team." "Yea but he was turning into a monster, though."

Welp, the classics are over. The truly awful ideas are up.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VI
NIGHTMARE ON EVERGREEN TERRACE
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Do not touch! -Willy. Good advice! (touches)"

Now I'm wondering if any amazing ones are left.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VI
HOMER3
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "I feel like I'm wasting money just standing here."

This one didn't age as bad as many are making out, but it was never great.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VII
THE THING AND I
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "The routine soul smear confirmed the presence of pure evil."

I need one of those soul dealies.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VII
THE GENESIS TUB
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "We have learned to imatoot you erkzactly!"

This seems like a good idea and a lot of the gags work, but it just never makes it all the way. This is where "Halloween" episodes are stretched. WTF is this Halloweenish?

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VII
CITIZEN KANG
Rating: MASTERPIECE
Best Line: "Don't blame me.. I voted for Kodos" is maybe the best line in Treehouse history.

Homer killing Bob Dole and Bill Clinton is hilarious too. This whole episode holds up amazingly.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VIII
THE HΩMEGA MAN
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "I stand by my ethnic slur. Do your worst you filthy, pretentious savages!"

I'm right with you, Comic Book Guy!

Awesome start to the most underrated Treehouse of Horrors. This is the last truly awesome Treehouse.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VIII
FLY VS. FLY
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "This is a highly-sophisti-ma-cated doowacky! If you don't use it repsonsibly, KABLAAMO!" "OWW, someone just punched me in the face!" "It was your mother!"

I know a lot of people don't like it but I really love it.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR VIII
EASY BAKE COVEN
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "Oh, Neddie, look at them up there, plotting our doom. They could force us to commit wanton acts of carnality." "Yea, they'll be the day.."

Underrated segment to close underrated Treehouse.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR IX
HELL TOUPEE
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "..and the fluffy kitten played with that ball of string all through the night. On a lighter note, a Kwik-E-Mart clerk was brutally murdered last night.."

The only good segment of Treehouse 9.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR IX
THE TERROR OF TINY TOON
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "Aww. Look who's found a new love. That means you'll have to be neutered."

And thus begins the badness. Just not a very clever or good episode. The movie Stay Tuned did the same concept better.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR IX
STARSHIP POOPERS
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "Yeah, I got a question for that gross thing, whatever it is." "Homer." "Nah, the green thing."

Oh hey look, Jerry Springer. That'll never be dated. Ugh.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR X
I KNOW WHAT YOU DIDDILY-IDDILY DID
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "STOP WINKING!"

The best segment of a middle-of-the-road (pun intended) Treehouse.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR X
DESPERATELY XEEKING XENA
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "Remember, you're allergic to Kryptonite!" "JEEZ MARGE, TELL THE NEIGHBORS!"

The intro to Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl is funny enough to save this segment from THE PITS. Just not funny.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR X
LIFE'S A GLITCH THEN YOU DIE
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "you're going to have to make a very difficult choice. You're only allowed to take one parent with you.." "Mom!"

Y2K jokes aged better than they had any right to.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XI
G-G-Ghost D-D-Dad
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "HEH HEH HEH HEH, STUPID HOROSCOPE!" (pickaxe to the head) "EHE EHE EHE EHE, STUPID BLORICOPE!"

Homer dying twice kills me every time but this is the point where Treehouse of Horror air-balls even good ideas.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XI
Scary Tales Can Come True
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "Face it. They're not great parents."

This is one of those segments where every single joke falls flat on its face. A contender for worst Treehouse segment ever.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XI
Night of the Dolphin
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Bottlenose bruises. Blowhole burns. Flipper prints. This looks like the work of rowdy teens!"

Hugely overrated segment. It's FINE, but not an all-timer. Amazing only compared to the previous segment.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XII
Hex and the City
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "Well, everything ended fine!" "No, it didn't. Bart's dead!" "Saying I'm sorry won't bring him back." "The gypsy said it would!" "Psh! She's not the boss of me!"

We've entered the crappy zone.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XII
House of Whacks
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Die you monster!" "Dad, that's the water softener." "Well, I AM missing the back of my head. I think you can cut me some slack!"

Pierce Bronson kills it but we've reached the point where the ideas aren't realized.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XII
Wiz Kids
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "Sloppy work, as usual. Lisa's casting spells at an eighth-grade level. You've sinned against nature."

The Harry Potter satire doesn't work at all.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIII
Send in the Clones
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "My Homie's dead? How will I go on?" "You like back rub?" (Marge gets backrub) "Oh well.."

At this point, Treehouse of Horror being passable was the most we could ask for.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIII
The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Now let's rob the bank, give the money to the poor, then rob the poor, and shoot the money!"

Another zombie episode, though this one at least has a decent amount of jokes land.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIII
The Island of Dr. Hibbert
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Careful, he might try to gnaw on your crotch." "Don't worry, I've been around Scotsmen before."

Well, at least the Simpsons remake was better than.. that other.. remake..

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIV
Reaper Madness
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "I might occasionally kill out of anger, or to demonstrate a point, but I'm no Grim Reaper!"

Finally a great one! "Would anyone like to see Mr. Simpson harvest a soul?"

"Dad, were ALL those people on the list?"

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIV
Frinkenstein
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "The pyramids were actually built by Sears." (Lisa punches it up on her calculator) "He's right! It all checks out!"

Jerry Lewis finally is on the Simpsons. Awesome.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIV
Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "She looks like a background character in a Hanna Barbera cartoon!"

Superman v Patty Hearst is funny, I guess. Fun premise that isn't funny at all. The fact that it has absolutely no ending hurts.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XV
The Ned Zone
Rating: Great
Best Line: "(crackle) DO IT (crackle) DO IT! (crackle) KILL EVERYONE!"

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XV
Four Beheadings and a Funeral
Rating: GOOD (?)
Best Line: "I'm can make Opi-O's!"

This feels like it belonged to another Simpsons anthology episode. I don't hate it at all, but it's just very bizarre and has no ending.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XV
In the Belly of the Boss
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Well.. that hurt like hell."

Another one that doesn't feel Halloweenish. Fantastic Voyage isn't a scary movie or anything.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVI
B.I. Bartificial Intelligence
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Replace is such an ugly word. We upgraded!"

Lots of nice gags in here. It's never REALLY funny but I smiled a lot watching it.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVI
Survival of the Fattest
Rating:
Best Line: "Homer, Burns has only been chasing us for six hours and you already resorted to cannibalism."

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVI
I've Grown a Costume on Your Face
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "Dennis Rodman?! What are you doing here?" "Working off a speeding ticket."

One of the worst segments ever. Apu-D2 made me ALMOST laugh. But the couch gag the next episode was better.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVII
Honorable Mention: I love the intro with the Cryptkeeper Monty Burns.

"WHOA HO, LOOK AT THAT! My blood is a genius! Fancy Roman numerals and everything!"

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVII
Married to the Blob
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "What did we Germans do to deserve this? Oh right......."

Just gross for the sake of gross. Casting Dr. Phil, I mean.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVII
You Gotta Know When to Golem
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: Literally none, though I did ALMOST laugh at Homer almost killing Fran Drescher's voice.

This has to be the worst segment ever.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVII
The Day the Earth Looked Stupid
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "I ought to punch you in the Nose, Bud!!" "Nose..bud.."

Unfunny 1930s jokes all leading to an Iraq War joke. Treehouse 17 is one of the worst Halloween episodes ever.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVIII
E.T., Go Home
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: Kodos asking Bart to find seven billion body bags.

This is the only decent segment in an abysmal Treehouse.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVIII
Mr. & Mrs. Simpson
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: None

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HALLOWEEN? Coudln't they do a "Simpsons do movies" anthology?

(the gag where the waiter gets shot and his blood fills up the glasses is funny)

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XVIII
Heck House
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "You'll see what a life of sin gets you!" "Sin gets you something?" "I was just in it for the sin!"

A boring, unfunny conclusion to a truly awful Halloween special.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIX
Untitled Robot Parody
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "Well, the toaster's never lied to me before."

"Okay guys, do Transformers for 5 minutes. No plot needed."

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIX
How to Get Ahead in Dead-Vertising
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "Rip Taylor, you're not even dead!" "Someone needs to check my apartment!"

Also Lincoln was gay and that's funny in and of itself. I mean not at all but they tried, bless their hearts.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XIX
It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "All pumpkins are racist. At least I admit it!"

Surprised it took this long to do a Charlie Brown satire. I mean, it wasn't funny. all. Premise was solid. Execution was laughable. Bad choice of words

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XX
Dial "M" for Murder or Press "#" to Return to Main Menu
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "You don't say 'kill' because you're smart. What I meant was kill that ding-dong and throw her in a ditch. Ding-dong ditch! Sheesh, read a book once in a while!"

Finally! 👍🏼👍🏼

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XX
Don't Have a Cow, Mankind
Rating: GREAT
Best Line: "Dad, are you becoming a muncher?" "I think the better brains is, which brains is a brains?"

I laughed several times. What more can you ask for?

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XX
There's No Business Like Moe Business
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "This is the musical in light years!" "Light years measure distance, not time." "You know what I mean."

Damnit, I laughed. It worked. Hey, Treehouse of Horror 20 was pretty good!

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXI
War and Pieces
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "The final challenge: Mouse Catch. A game so lame, nobody has ever finished it."

Okay, I laughed just enough to make this worth watching.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXI
Master and Cadaver
Rating: BAD
Best Line: "They should call this one 'RECIPE FOR MURDER'!" "What do you mean this one?"

I've never seen Dead Calm but they got Hugh Laurie instead of Billy Zane. HOW CAN BILLY ZANE HAVE NEVER DONE Simpsons?

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXI
Tweenlight
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Edmund will be here, so everyone don't be yourselves!" "Don't serve your friend garlic. Don't stab them in the heart with a wooden stake. Don't ask them if they know Frankenstein. It's racist somehow!"

I smiled a bit.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXII
Honorable Mention: The 127 Hours parody is thankfully the last time they'll ever have a segment when Homer eats himself.

EVER..

(Fun Easter Egg: the kids are eating candy during this, if you notice)

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXII
The Diving Bell and the Butterball
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "Don't say a word!" (Marge plugs his butt)

A paralyzed Homer communicates via farts. Then, Spider-Man.

This stinks of desperation.

See, that was funnier than anything in this episode.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXII
Dial D for Diddily
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "Come on, God does crazy things. Just check the Old Testament!"

Hey, Dexter with Flanders. It was funny when he was the devil, because it's Flanders! Same joke, with Dexter. Also God is the Devil's bitch.😶

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXII
In the Na'vi
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "How do those mountains float?" "They don't. They're falling."

Wow. Just, wow. Treehouse of Horror 22 has to be a contender for the worst episode of the Simpsons of all time, and the Avatar parody is the f'n worst

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXIII
Honorable Mention: The 2012 intro was.. something.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXIII
The Greatest Story Ever Holed
Rating: GOOD
Best Line: "Well, it's worse than a stray dog." "Two stray dogs?" "It's a black hole." "That was going to be my next guess." "Are you sure your next guess wasn't three stray dogs?" "Maybe."

Solid segment.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXIII
Un-normal Activity
Rating: BAD
Best Line: None, but Homer getting beat with the golf club and not reacting did crack me up.

The rest was just lazy.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXIII
Bart and Homer's Excellent Adventure
Rating: THE PITS
Best Line: "Who are you?" "Your unwanted son from the future that ruined all your fun." "WHY YOU LITTLE.."

Oh look, Artie Ziff. Only the Simpsons writers find Jon Lovitz funny in the 21st century.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXIV
Honorable Mention: the only intro worthy of MASTERPIECE

This was the best.. ANYTHING.. in Treehouse of Horror since Treehouse 7. This is #24. That's pathetic.
