I decided to wait until after this year's Halloween special aired for this video (doing the Richard & Lewis project in the meantime) and then that episode didn't even make this list. Bah, humbug.
(Season 12 is next on the docket.)
Your videos are always great!
Love your vids Jim, when I cant find something to casually listen to I come to you.
Your Vids are always so comfy RealJims!! Your by far my go to Simpsons reviewer!
It would be pretty cool if Disney+ gave you the option to customize segments
@@mister62085 yes
The best thing about the Homega Man is how "Little Marge" misses the baseball in Homer's fantasy. And that Maggie is filed under "the rest" with the pets and the TV.
I totally agree, having that "miss" sound (no idea how to spell it as an onomatopoeia, any suggestions?) makes that quick gag very in-character for her, it's a very nice touch
@@alexneill130 whoosh?
@@Nahasapasa I think "Whiff" is more fitting
I swear the simpsons has done "the rest" jokes over 3 times already. I had a simpsons comic as a kid and that joke was on the cover
I cant tell if thats a compliment or not for Maggie. Being compared to pets sucks, but tv? Homer really loves her
I love the Island of Dr.Hibbert segment solely for Homer's song: "In the jungle, the creepy jungle, Homer rides a freak!" His ethusiasm just gets me everytime.
I sang that during the Lion Sleeps Tonight scene of The Lion King in theaters.
Night of the Dolphin is weirdly one of the most memorable Treehouse of Horror episodes from when I was a kid, almost as much as all the segments from ToH 5. Something about the dolphin brutally murdering Kent Brockman with a beach ball is so surreal that it's permanently etched into my brain. The dolphins are legit one of the most menacing antagonists from these specials.
It is definitely one of the most memorable post-classical era of Treehouse segments, even got an entire level dedicated to it in The Simpsons game
For me, I preferred the post-ending scene with Kang and Kodos complaining about being left out of the show.
I forgot to listen, what was the sixth segment in his list?
@@tf2godz the game is the only reason I remember the killer dolphins
@@Grane1234 Yeah, the game has a ton of cool quotes with Bart and Lisa about having to fight the dolphins.
I always think Night of the Dolphins is a classic segment, with its appearance in there.
In defense of the Homer farting segment, it makes you appreciate every single other segment more.
Literally the episode that made me stop watching new Simpsons. I sat through that one and Dial N For Neddy, but tapped out during the Avatar parody.
I have no defense for that segment, but my 6yo and 9yo laughed so hard during it they were in tears.
@@AdamRossD I enjoyed it too. Fart jokes can be funny if done in the right way. The wrong way would be Rick and Morty where it's a constant barrage of burps and farts without meaning
@@RegretfulDeadMan dial d for diddly (btw its actual kinda good)
I’m so honored to be referenced in this one.
Even if it was after a reference to “It’s A Mystery, Charlie Brown.”
Gotta take what you can get.
Pig Pen needs a friend
hey love your channel
Oh gee, I've never heard of that one, I wonder why he's making it sound so *finds out it was the first special not directed by Bill Melendez*....yep, that'd do it.
Hell Toupee is in my opinion one of the best THoH segments done. Has some great Apu, Moe and Snake moments and is a very funny concept. Just how over the top and gruesome it can be adds to it greatly.
It's actually kind of suspenseful and eerie in a way so few episodes are. It has that "Who Shot Mr. Burns" mood the Halloween episodes rarely capitalize upon. Come on Real Jims, get with it! You'd rather see garbage like the clone one?
@@brentandrew2419 It’s his opinion, dummy.
Truth, it was my first segment and will always be in my top fifteen treehouse segments of all time
"Desperately Xeeking Xena" is the best and most quotable post-classic segment.
I have here the only working Fazer,it was fired only once to keep Shatner from making another album.
Didn't work Shatner can't be stopped 🤣
I mean, this is the one that "A wizard did it" comes from. I still see that used in response to inconsistencies in shows/movies all the time!
@@youcouldbelisteningtomusic442 Either that or "I hope somebody got fired for that blunder"
@Freekazoid I know, but whenever there is a mistake in an episode, the answer is always "A Wizard did it" oder " I hope somebody got fired for that blunder"
Lisa: Wait... Xena can't fly!
Xena: I told you, I'm not Xena - I'm Lucy Lawless!
Hell Toupee is my favorite of the post-classic Treehouse segments. Snake is always a joy to watch, and the contrast between his and Homer’s demeanors works wonderfully. I also just love the scene where Chief Wiggum continues to drink his Squishy after he finds out Apu was stuffed in the Squishy machine, it crosses the line so far that it comes back around to being hilarious.
Totally - as a kid I always found Apu's death in this segment the most disturbing moment in the show's history at that point (more then Nightmare Cafeteria), but Wiggum's attitude really takes the edge off 😄
I'd have that at number one, didn't realise it was post classic, brilliant segment. The idea of Homer being possessed to murder his son is genuinely scary, and the jokes are great too- Homer doesn't get charged with Apu's murder because Wiggum can't pronounce his name.
No one’s mentioning Scary Tales Can Come True, I’m shocked - that Goldilocks scene where Bart and Lisa left her to get eaten by the three bears is one of my all time favourite moments, hands down
The porridge gag always creases me up, too! Such a good segment.
@@SessVlogs This is why every other version has Mother Bear's porridge as too sweet instead of too cold.
I think it is exactly what real Jim’s says in this episode about hell toupeé. Good but no one talks about it, honestly it is pretty solid.
Glad to see some ‘Homega Man’ appreciation! I don’t hear people talking about it a lot. That baseball scene is probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed at any Simpsons joke ever.
"There's No Business Like Moe Business" not being included here is a crime, they could have easily gone for just a standard Sweeny Todd homage, but instead incorporated all of the theater elements that really make it memorable
Strange because I'm pretty sure he's mentioned that segment very positively in another review
Wait, that was meant to be Sweeney Todd?
Yes! That one is definitely one of my favorites. The musical numbers made it special compared to other Treehouse of Horrors.
I always loved Bart setting off the touchless faucets in the bathroom as he advances menacingly on Lisa in "Dial M for Murder" etc.
"i hear you can see barts hair peaking out of the trashcan or his shadow when he leaves his seat"
thought you could sneak in a futurama reference unnoticed huh?
I love how in recent years the Simpsons team keep pushing its animation style in strange new ways and the Treehouse of Horror episodes are a great place to see that art.
"If your fly wasn't open, you'd look just like Roger Moore."
If you are fly?
Hell Toupee and Reaper Madness were some of my first introductions to Treehouse of Horror as a kid, so I definitely feel a bit of a nostalgic connection to them.
i just want to say how much i like this channel. talking about the simpsons while nintendo music plays in the background pretty much encapsulates my childhood. i could listen to this channel all day
My favourite post-classic segment is “Life’s a Glitch, Then You Die”, because I grew up after Y2K was an issue, so imagining a world where all the technology that’d been invented over the past century went haywire or outright murderous, terrified me. The world of Springfield goes to s**t, and that’s always fun to explore. It’s an obvious period piece of 90s Y2K hysteria, and the fact that the rockets at the end still work is a massive plot hole, but the premise alone carries it for me.
Some favourites from the Post-Movie era include There’s No Business Like Moe Business, which feels more adult in its violence and tone, and Moefinger, the absolute gorefest that almost got the 600th episode BANNED down here in New Zealand.
I liked Life's A Glitch, Then You Die, and I was four weeks off my fifth birthday when 2000 came. I feel old...
I remember the Sweeney Todd parody. I wish it had been played straighter, though, instead of a stage play. Maybe if Sweeney Todd didn't have a movie version out at the time or had a movie in the works that had failed to be made, but it didn't. But blood beer was a creative way to take it, especially with it being accidental.
Scientists figured out y2k was going to be a problem in our world way ahead of things and figured out a solution (switching to a different system, that will stop working in another couple of decades), it's not a plot hole if the scientists of the Simpsons universe were ignored. Just had enough resources for two rockets to be made with Unix time!
@@theMoporter where are your sources for the current system no longer working in a few decades
@@jamiewhite6397 look up “Unix epoch bug”, though the fix is moving from a 32-bit integer to a 64-bit integer and most computers have done that in the last few years or will be doing it before 2032. But it’s still true that the system they switched to has that problem, it’s just not necessarily the one we still deal with anymore (which is just an implication - their comment can also be read as “another few decades from the Y2K patch” which is 100% true, while the bug is now merely one decade away from the present).
@@kaitlyn__L That's actually really cool, I appreciate you finding that for me 👍
I really liked the “Clockwork yellow” segment all because of the crossover twist between Clockwork orange and Eyes wide shut, not a fan of shoehorn references to the other movies mid battle, but Alex and his droogs entering by mistake in the cult party is such a genius idea that wins me over. Makes me wish something like that existed between the original movies. And so glad “Oh the Places you’ll do’h” made it high into the list! Too bad for the black hole segment. Thanks for this Amazing video Jimms!
And they also had references to other Kubrick movies (and the "fake moon landing" myth), and the man himself at the end of the episode. It was a blast.
@@quenotedariayo I think the cherry on top is when Comic Book Guy makes a very esoteric Kubrick movie reference and admits even he can't remember what they're parodying.
School is Hell from TOH XXV is one of my favorites. I especially love the ending and how I think it's one of the best Homer and Bart moments in the entire show.
Hell Toupee is such a great example of the power of good characterization. Even this tertiary character like Snake can be hilariously evoked without him actually being present.
That bat-swinging joke, especially the whiff sound on Marge, is truly terrific
"Bat swinging scene" kills me every time.
My favourite treehouse of horror episode is the one from season 11. And my favourite segment is I Know What You Diddily-Iddily-Did. The whole bit with homer and ned's dead body on the roof is hilarious.
I laughed so hard when Homer started with: "HI, Maude!.... diddly..."
Do you ever stop to think that after almost 15 years of running this channel that you are likely one of the world's leading Simpson's expert? Idk its just fascinating to me, anyways thanks for another excellent video and happy halloween!!
Hell Toupee is an absolute classic! It'd make top ten in my favourite segments of all seasons!
Hell Toupee is such a good title, always enjoyed it too. A really solid segment! Always enjoy these videos 💙🙏🏻
The 2022 Treehouse of Horror rules for many reasons, but especially for giving us an evil Marge. Marge never gets to be the truly creepy main villain - unless you count the head vampire thing or the Other Mother or that time she watched Homer sleep (which I don’t) and 2022 finally let her be evil, hurrah! Sidenote, the animation of the Death Note demon thing genuinely freaked me out
I love the it’s a great pumpkin Milhouse segment so much. It’s so nostalgic
I like when Teenage Homer asked grown-up Homer what happened, was I caught in a fire?
Jims, let me just say that your content feels so great, so amicable. I binge seasons 1-9 regularly and it's so great to engage in content that where myself and the content creator know the subject material intimately.
"Looks to me like he suffered a lot chief".
I love Hell Toupée
Jeeze Lou, how long are ya gonna let me enjoy this thing
Apu Nahasa... Moe. Just Moe.
This video was example another example of why Homer and Flanders are one of the series best uncomfortable character duos
These Halloween segments are always so crazy and wild. I appreciate your hard work on this favorites list. There’s more than a few segments that I personally feel that I need to review for myself sometime soon. I haven’t rewatched a lot of the TOHs past season 15 in a long while. I’m going to check these out again. Thank you for your recommendations!
I loved that Homer was going to push the core destruct button (knowing it would kill everyone) because Ned told him to.
"I Know What You Diddily-Iddily-Did" on season 11 is a great post classic treehouse of horror segment
On the subject of Homega Man, I definitely view seasons nine and ten as part of the classic era, so I was initially surprised to see it on here.
II thought Be Nine, Rewind was inspired by Happy Death Day/Happy Death Day 2 U, but I haven't seen Russian Doll, so maybe that's the same concept.
The Terror of Tiny Toon is my favorite on this list. Itchy and Scratchy interacting with Bart and Lisa, and I&S being horrified that Bart and Lisa find their violence funny, it all just feels fresh.
I personally love these (not in order and out of this list):
- "House of Whacks" (underrated and it's one I really enjoyed)
- "Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off" (another top tier segment; really funny and I even remember seeing it before I started regularly watching the show)
- "Bart and Homer's Excellent Adventure" (I love BTTF, "The Way We Was" is one of my favorite episodes of the show as a whole, and it's really well executed)
- "The Others" (really good concept, unique, and enjoyable)
- "Hell Toupée" (unique and fun)
- "Reaper Madness" (could've done a bit more indeed, but I still liked it)
- " The Island of Dr. Hibbert" (probably would be my #1 in this type of list, it wouldn't beat "Lisa's Nightmare," "Bart's Nightmare" or any of Treehouse of Horror V segment but it's up there)
- "Send in the Clones" (actually a good segment)
For me (out of this list) I don't enjoy:
- "Don't Have a Cow, Mankind" (especially since it's yet another zombie apocalypse, pretty generic overall: "The Homega Man" is honestly the only decent zombie apocalypse segment imo))
- "It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse" (tbh, I'm a longtime fan of Peanuts, but I didn't really like this segment. I don't like the pumpkin character; actually in general the second half is why I don't like it)
The rest on the list are in the middle for me. "B.I. Bartificial Intelligence" is also a segment I enjoyed but sadly this list didn't include. "Married to the Blob," "You Gotta Know When to Golem," "The Day the Earth Looked Stupid," "E.T., Go Home," (even though I like E.T) "In the Na'vi," and "Geriatric Park" are by far the worst segments imo (in no order).
I see a lot of hate for married to the blob, but IMO is a really good segment. It plays off homer’s gluttony and elevates it to is maximum horrifying extreme! Similar to “hmm homer” And seeing Kang and Kodos in a menacing way and winning in the day the earth looked stupid is really great!
Love watching this on Halloween! Makes me happy to enjoy my faves before marathoning it! 🎃
I'm an avid Modern Simpsons enjoyer but I do feel Treehouse of Horror is even more inconsistent than your average post classic season. That being said there's a lot here from even the thumbnail alone that I remember really enjoying.
Nice to see all 3 segments from 26 being on the list, that was a great year though having never seen a Clockwork Orange at the time meant the middle one was mostly lost to me.
"I'm an avid Modern Simpsons enjoyer"
... why?
@@JimboRustles Theres this weird thing I do where I watch things and then enjoy them, and if I'm feeling particularly wacky I go back and watch more things like it
@@JimboRustles Weirdo.
Night of the Dolphin was pretty memorable for me, if only for the fact that there was an entire level dedicated to it in 2007's The Simpsons Game. I'm also really nostalgic towards Season 13 so seeing Treehouse of Horror XII get a mention via House of Whacks makes me happy.
Animal Sprigfield is a fun part of "The Island of Dr. Hibbert", but it also has some legitimately good jokes. I still love the "Let's eat Maggie..." joke. It's a little wierd that they gave Lisa the line, but I think it works and is one of the only chances Lisa had to have an "older sibling" kind of moment instead of kind of just being a babysitter for Maggie. Also, that's the same ToH with "Send in the Clones" and I even think the middle segment "The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms" was a solid segment. Treehouse of Horror XIII was really good. But, I think it was also one of, if not, the earliest ToH I watched, so maybe it's just me.
Uhhh.... I Choose To Call This Episode "Treehouse Of Horror 13"
I think the reason the joke works so well is BECAUSE it's Lisa. The idea of eating her own sister is just so unlike her, it's hilarious
Great list. These segments brought back great memories
2 Simpsons vids tackling THOH in a single day? What is this Christmas? I kid, I kid. I just came from Lydia's 2 hour death count vid. Great vid as always Jims. There's so much fun in these THOH segments over the last 30+ years
Great choices, a lot of those later ones I havnt seen but now I have something to look forward to late in the series.
Nice Job! I enjoy Homer in these Treehouse of Horror Segments, he's the MVP of the Treehouse of Horror.
One thing I disagree with is your statement that “Night of the Dolphin” made dolphins scary. Nah, dolphins are already scary in real life.
Also, Hell Toupee is one of my favorite Treehouse of Horror segments.
Agreed. Dolphins are basically unapologetic rapists. Dolphns are incredibly intelligent, yet when it comes to the drive to procreate, their first choice is often rape. And interspeices at that. It's psychologically frightening on top of normal frightening, when you realize that the common difference between Dolphins and other animals, barring primates, is their intellect, yet this is what they choose to use it for. Rape. Somehow, the closer an animal is to human, the more prone to calculated, premeditated rape it tends to go. And that's the scariest thing ever.
@@the-NightStar it makes me glad bonobos are all dtf all the time, or else maybe they’d be in on it too…
Pretty good list, and as always a fun countdown. I am one of those who doesn't care for Night of the Dolphin, but most of the others here are ones I really liked. In terms of what I would put on my list, some that you didn't include that I would have would be Freaks No Geeks, Easy Bake Coven, and I've Grown a Costume on Your Face. It was awesome to see others I really like on this list like Terror of Tiny Toon, The Homega Man, Island of Dr. Hibbert, Oh the Places You'll D'oh, It's the Grand Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and Coralisa. In all honesty Coralisa was the highlight of Treehouse of Terror 29 while the rest of it was forgettable to me. Great list as always, and I am really looking forward to the Season 12 retrospective and countdown.
Was pleasantly surprised to see Send In the Clones ranked so high. It's hardly ever talked about but is one of my all-time favourite THOH segments.
I've never even watched "Stop Time, I Wanna Goof Off", but the visual comedy is so strong I can get the gist of it just from the stills you've shown.
Hell Toupee scared me as a kid fr fr and I'll never forget "You said something about a hot meal? 💀" one of my all time favorite jokes treehouse of horror or not 👌
Send in the Clones is golden age caliber. Glad to see it get love here.
I can get the points you made on Coralisa, but I love the idea that they just mesh together so well
I think what I like about the others the most is the fact the show actually shows the Ullman family dead underground on multiple occasions and after that segment aired they didn't do it again, I thought that was a neat touch
It’s been a while since this video but I ADORE Hell Toupee. It’s legitimately one of my favorite segments of all time and that includes the classic era.
Thank you so much,i love your Treehouse of horrors list.
I appreciate the shout out to A Clockwork Yellow
I love School Is Hell because it uses the horror setting as an excuse to completely flip the classic Bart and Lisa dynamic. Bart being a straight A+ student in demon school is so in line with all of the references over the years like Devil Flanders going' "Hey, Bart." or him turning out to be the evil twin instead of Hugo and saying "Oh, don't look so shocked."
I don't know if you would count it as a segment or more of just an opening, but I really liked the Pazuzu segment. The way the toys off themselves in the background, the lullaby, Homer ordering it by accident because he thought it was pizza, and then thinking a statue would be a good gift for Maggie.
Plus Pazuzu sounds like such a goofy name, I thought it was made up by writers as a joke to name an evil entity something that doesn't sound intimidating. Then I realized that was the actual name of the demon from the Exorcist.
Pazuzu is a real demon. He's even actually the demon of the south-west wind.
I think one of the first simpsons episodes i ever watched in full was the one with the grand pumpkin, so I was really delighted to see it here. it's not my favorite, but it holds a nice place in my heart. i always love coming back to the halloween episodes year after year. last october i watched one episode per day since it was the 31st year of halloween specials and it was such a blast.
idea for next year's simpsons halloween video: ranking the wraparound non-segments. i dont even know if there's much to say on most of them but youve already covered all the actual segments now
Will say I’ve always been fond of the segment mr and mrs simpsons as I always found Homer and Marge being secret killer agents such a nice idea and the way they just go all in for the fight scene between them is hilarious great jokes and the ending is neat
Great choice
I'm not a fan of it but at least 90% of the audience is clear on what is being parodied, as opposed to the Be Nine Rewind one he's so fond of, where basically no one gets what is being parodied. For that reason that one is a huge failure.
Homer trying to resist the lasagna then the camera immediately panning out to show him devouring it is hilarious.
@@randomguyontheinternet7940 agree
@@randomguyontheinternet7940 then he asks for seconds typical Homer
I feel like someone thought up the idea of the Homer being paralyzed short but someone else who had no clue what the original guy wanted ended up writing it. The idea of Homer Simpson being trapped in his own head while the world goes on around him could be a horrifying and hilarious concept, seeing Marge trying to wake him with donuts and beer, being completely unaware she's just tormenting him, Bart growing bored with toying the sculpture of a man, not realizing inside Homer is absolutely BUILDING with rage, Lisa, Grandpa, and Maggie bonding with him for once and him being unable to express his true feelings.
Hell, just adding a ticking clock element with Hibbert wanting to pull the plug or some disaster about to happen and Homer being the only one who knows about it.
Hell Toupée is one of my absolute favorites. Part of it may be nostalgic as it often ran in reruns while I was in college when my friends and I would have smoke secessions with local Fox affiliate showing an hour of Simpsons reruns from that era daily but I also think it honestly holds up comedically.
Interesting picks. I would have had Dial M for Murder as the top one, myself. Such a great homage to the classic Hitchcocks. Hell Toupee is pretty great, too. So absurd, but also very violent and creepy.
I’m glad these segments are getting talked about because even in the modern seasons there are some good segemnts
Why this channel isnt viral? It's amazing!
SOmething something algorithm
But thank you so much for the video. I really appreciate you trying to keep up with the festivities
I love love love your videos because even if I don't agree with your opinions, I find myself wondering if I actually do because you reason everything out so clear and well
I adore Night of the Dolphin and Send In The Clones
I was still fairly young when both of those aired, so a bit of that is nostalgia, but the gags are just some of the best in Treehouse history. Love the Peter Griffin jab.
The problem with Bart and Homer's Excellent Adventure is that it feels like the writers don't remember that Marge wouldn't have married Artie either. Need I remind people of the dress incident?
But it makes up for all its sins, and gets a solid C for the line "Crawl atop me to your doom!"
Well the thing is that Bart entered the time period just as Homer and Marge first met, so really she wouldn't really know who else to marry since she knew Artie Ziff for over a decade at that point of her life and Bart prevented Homer from having her.
I just love that somehow Brazilian Jujitsu is a thing, just saying makes me laugh
WOW! Thumbs up for that DEEP Futurama reference👍🏼
Hell toupee and the homega man are 2 of my favourite segments, the scene of snakes hair taking over homers brain is so unsettling and i'm a sucker for post apocalyptic stuff in general
I liked the segments about the witch trials and the one with Bart switching heads with a fly. Rarely hear those brought up.
In defense of "farting homer", the line "he has the proportional strength of a paralyzed spider" kills me every time. I think Carl says it.
I absolutely love the Hell Toupee part it actually goes fully in and is quite graphic like Apu's legs sticking out of the squishee machine and Moe having his heart ripped out like i was shocked when i first watched it
It's actually more graphic than the film it's based on, Shocker
I only had a handful of the Simpsons boxsets as a kid, so Hell Toupee was one of the few treehouse episodes I had constant access to. It's one of my favourites for that reason, but even compared to a lot of other freeholder segments I think it holds up really well.
Hell yea a Halloween vid from the best Simpsons channel
I think Thanksgiving of horror was amazing. I love seeing turkey's perspective on the 1st Thanksgiving.
Ned Zone is my number 1 Segment because the climax is on its own the greatest Treehouse of Horror Joke ever told.
God I love Treehouse of Horror.
I love your content, it’s absolutely great
I'd dare say the clones one is better than a handful of classic segments, it's that awesome.
Althought you didn't talk about it, I appreciate "A Clockwork Yellow" being one of the 4 honorable mentions. I really enjoyed that one and I'm not even that familiar with Kubrick films. The part with the Shmoo statue in particular really made me bust a gut and I can't properly explain why.
My favorite by far was "The Day the Earth Looked Stupid" but "Hell Toupee" is up there as well.
The terror of tiny toons has one of my favorite Homer lines Marge: You can't go as a hobo again!" Homer: "Going where?"
Dial M for Murder feels like a homage itself to James Earl Jones reading _The Raven_ in the very first Treehouse of Horror.
This was the best thing to wake up to
there is one segment that will stand out for me above all others in their Treehouse series, and that is their version of Terror at 30,000 Feet. The creature on the plane creeps me out SO MUCH! I would have to think beyond this one to articulate other segments to mention.
Dial M for murder is my post-classic favorite. I still remember when Edna had her neck in the paper cutter…. I dunno how it isn’t at the top or near for many others
Hell yeah this is a great birthday gift!
Great video.
What a cromulent review! Well done 😊
I love Hell Toupee, one of my fave Halloween segments
*Well.. this is indeed a strange and disturbing collection. Some of these I completely forgot were from season 8+, especially Hell Toupee and the Terror of Tiny Toon. Great list. Hey, isn’t reaper madness a little like that family guy episode with Norm Macdonald as death? Even has Homer taking death’s place because the town is now rid of it and all that.*
why is this comment bolded

Yep. Family Guy aired that episode in 2000 while Simpsons aired theirs in 2003. A rare case where the Simpsons didn't already do it.

Love your videos!
I’m not American, so the bat swinging gag flew over my head and never understood the reference. What made me laugh tho was Homer putting Maggie in “the rest” category along with the pets and TV 🤣
Master and Cadaver is my favorite post classic segment.
"Wheres Doug? I miss Doug."
Dial M for Murder is my #1 or 2 like yours, for the same reasons you listed pretty much. I think it’s one of the only Lisa and Edna interactions in the show
With me, while I understand that THOHs with time turned into "anything goes" stories with major excuse to push rating up once in a while, I still prefer "classic" style of them sticking to supernatural stuff and finding great balance between creative horror and mocking tropes of genre rather than playing it completely straight, and not just as using format as excuse for slaughterfest which is staple of lot of later THOH. That is to say... ones I liked in post-90s period are not ones that going in steps of initial format, but ones that chose completely different direction, coming closer to "AU" anthologies or similar format of "Futurama" "what-if" episodes, dabbing into other pulp fiction genres, including bit of classic cinema parody (THOHXIV and THOHXV are ones that I found refreshing, using detective and sci-fi elements among others; so are unexpected classic cinematographic sources like featured in video Hitchcock homage and "Freaks"-inspired segment). That's why "Clockwork Yellow" is among my top choices, even if it's not exactly Halloween'y and instead excels as good Simpsons-style movie pastiche, put into THOH only because of high rating source of parody. THOHXXV in general is my favorite among all, lots of memorable visual gags and classic Easter Eggs to THOH history to boot.
