HAPPY HALLOWEEN NOSTALJUNKIES! One of the biggest and most enduring shows of all-time, THE SIMPSONS, not only influenced our love for dysfunction, but their beloved Halloween Specials (Treehouse of Horror) are to Halloween what Hallmark movies, in PJs, with gentle sobbing are to Christmas.

Treehouse of Horror, also known as The Simpsons Halloween Specials, is a series of Halloween-themed episodes of the animated sitcom The Simpsons, each consisting of three separate, self-contained segments. These segments usually involve the Simpson family in some horror, science fiction, or supernatural setting. They take place outside the show's normal continuity and completely abandon any pretense of being realistic, being known for their far more violent and much darker nature than an average Simpsons episode. The first, entitled "Treehouse of Horror", aired on October 25, 1990, as part of the second season and was inspired by EC Comics horror tales. Since then, there have been 32 other Treehouse of Horror episodes, with one airing every year.
