The Treehouse of Horror specials are an annual Halloween staple.

Check out our all-time favorites!

Heres the list…

13.

Fantastic, while Lisa gains super-strength.

Lou, cancel the prom!

In short, itsThe Birds, but with dolphins.

Homer tries to convince the town that they can outsmart the dolphins, but… they cant.

By the end, they surround the townspeople, poised to attack, giving way to a mass fist-fight.

Its more odd than scary, certainly, but either way, its a funny one.

Where else will you hear Lisa Simpson come so close to calling a dolphin a son of a bitch?

The Thing And I (Treehouse Of Horror VII)

But what to do with poor Hugo?

Fly (Treehouse Of Horror VIII)

Bart, are you in there?

Have you forgotten our little kablammo talk?

Citizen Kang (Treehouse Of Horror VII)

Dont blame me- I voted for Kodos!

In the vacuum of space.

In its own weird way, it rings true.

Spoiler alert- all three stories from the third Halloween special will be on this list.

Instead, it raises all of the dead in the neighboring people cemetery.

The writers still say that the bit where Homer kills zombie Flanders (He was a zombie?)

is one of the best jokes theyve ever done.

Plus, any episode that includes the line Is this the end of zombie Shakespeare?

is more than worthy of mention.

Hes always one step ahead…

On a few occasions, Ned Flanders close-to-Godliness (Ned-liness?)

has been turned into something more sinister in the Halloween episodes.

and winds up contesting the Satanic rights to his damnation at trial.

(Dad, this is blood!

Correction- FREE blood!)

Starship Poopers (Treehouse Of Horror IX)

Marge, look!

Maggie lost her baby legs!

But the third story, a Kang and Kodos tale, is the best.

(We have Kang in a soundproof booth where he cant hear us.

I hear all!)

and playing with Maggies alien physionogomy.

Clown Without Pity (Treehouse Of Horror III)

We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread.

We also sell frozen yogurt, which I call frogurt!

This one is inspired by the episode Living Doll.

(Thats bad.)

King Homer (Treehouse Of Horror III)

I dont think women and seamen mix, sir.

We know what you think.

Although the above quote is immortalized by Sgt.

Ferrell in28 Days Later, (who proclaims it his Best.

The Shinning (Treehouse Of Horror V)

No TV and no beer make Homer something something.

They certainly got off to a good start with their choice of source material for their opening parody.

This isThe Simpsonsat the top of its spoofing game.

The Raven (The Simpsons Halloween Special)

Quoth the raven Eat my shorts.

A Nightmare On Evergreen Terrace (Treehouse Of Horror VI)

Do Not Touch- Willie Hm, good advice.

But it wouldnt beThe Simpsonsif there werent also some really funny gags.
