With the Simpsons nineteenth Treehouse of Horror airing in a matter of mere dozens of minutes, I felt like throwing together a list of the best Treehouse of Horror segments.
In judging Treehouse of Horror segments, I look for three things: scariness, funniness, and overall goodness.

5. Time and Punishment from Treehosue of Horror V. All those alternate realities are really funny every time. I don’t know what would be better – donuts falling from the sky or Ned Flanders being the ruler of the universe. “This is indeed a disturbing universe.” – Maggie.

4. House of Whacks from Treehouse of Horror XII. Although it was a little disturbing to see Homer missing the back of his head with his brain exposed, this was a pretty funny segment. Some jokes that stand out in my memory are Homer mistaking the water heater for the Ultrahouse and, when forced to live with Patty and Selma, the computer trying to kill itself. (Personally, I would’ve chosen the voice of Matthew Perry for my house instead of Pierce Brosnan.)

3. I’ve Grown a Costume on Your Face from Treehouse of Horror XVI. I found this segment rather fun just for seeing all the characters in their costumes – Chief Wiggum as the Subway Guy, Moleman as a Mole (but he wasn’t wearing a costume), and of course Apu-D2.

2. Bart Simpson’s Dracula from Treehouse of Horror IV. “They’re dogs! Playing poker! [Maniacal laugh.]” This is probably the funniest, if not necessarily the scariest or best, Treehouse of Horror segment. Some of the funniest moments include the Super Fun Happy Slide and the cop-out ending parodying a Charlie Brown Christmas.

1. The Shinning from Treehouse of Horror V. Very few things in the world can make me happy no matter how unhappy I am. Two of those things are the Numa Numa kid, and seeing Homer make maniacal funny faces when Marge says, “… go crazy.”
