It's shocking because you can see the visual decline of the series if you watch them in succession. 1-5 are very visually diverse, going for a cinematic approach so that the episodes feel "sepcial". After that, they start to standardize the show's look, and it's more visually bland.

By the later seasons they solidified this completely sterile visually bland look that started in god damn Family Guy and spread to the rest of western animation because of how cheap and fast it is to produce. Everyone just standing around in wide screen flapping their gums. Backgrounds are highly detailed, but you're never going to show them from another angle.

Still from one of the better segments. The joke relied on the Simpson's doing CG animation. ''

For me, best segments are:
"The Monkey's Paw"
"Dial 'Z' for Zombies"
"The Devil and Homer Simpson"
"Terror at 5½ Feet"
"Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores"
"The HΩmega Man"
"Hell Toupée"
"Starship Poopers"
"Life's a Glitch, Then You Die"
"House of Whacks"
"Reaper Madness"

After that it all becomes a blur.

The Simpsons was largely movie parodies. That's what made the show appealing in the first place.

>>215197310
Many of latter ones aren't even from horror movies, one is from Mr and Mrs Smith

Whats the best complete Treehouse of Horror? Not one segment, but entire episode? All three segments, the introduction, and if was present, wrap around story?

First one. Actually takes place in the treehouse, has wonky 2nd season charm, James Earl Jones in every segment, creepy music, less obvious parodies, Bart as The Raven. Personal favorite.

Who says this? Season 8 was the beginning of shit Simpsons for me. Season 7 had a couple weak episodes (Homer cannonball LOL) but Season 8 was like that the whole way through. And the animation got noticeably blander around then.
Seasons 4,5, or 6 are the best picks

The first is great, though I alwsys thought the Raven was weak (as good as Jones is). V is great but it was the one to drop the wrap.around format which I miss.
So its III or IV. I think I'll give it to IV even though III has a better flow.

The Twilight Zone parodies stop at season 7, with the exception "Stop the World, I want to Goof Off" (season 14) and "I've Grown a Costume on Your Face" (season 16)

The thing that sucks about Disney's ownership of The Simpsons is that it's no longer syndicated.So no more flipping to a rando TV channel and watching a Treehouse of Horror's marathon in October. Where do I watch the bulk of these episodes online without having to pay for a subscription?
