The first episode aired on October 25, 1990, as part of the second season and was inspired by EC Comics horror tales. Since then, there have been 30 other Treehouse ofHorror episodes, with one airing every year. Many of the episodes are popular among fans and critics of the show. They have inspired a whole offshoot of Simpsons merchandise, including action figures, playsets, video games, books, DVDs, comic books, and a special version of Monopoly. In 1996, 2013, and 2015, the episodes were respectively nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award in the \”Outstanding Animated Program \” category. Each episode is made up of three separate, self-contained segments. The three segments rarely have any kind of continuing connection within the episode. They are usually parodies of films, novels, plays, television shows, or Twilight Zone episodes, or old issues of EC Comics. On occasion the episodes will be used to showcase special animation, such as the segment \”Homer3\”, in which a computer-animated Homer is shown in a non- animated setting. Every episode opens with a special introductory segment. The opening of the first episode was put in as a sincere effort to warn young viewers, as the producers felt it was somewhat scary.

The segment returned in the season 31 Thanksgiving of Horror. Other episodes have opened with the episode in a similar manner to Alfred Hitchcock in Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The sixth and seventh episodes featured short clips with no lines because the episodes had run upwards of a minute. Following the opening, the episode has featured a short parody of The Outer Limits, with Bart introducing the episode and segments in a manner similar to Night Gallery, Night Gallery and Night Gallery. The episode ends with Marge standing on a stage and warning parents about the content of the episode, advising them to put their children to bed.

The warning in the firstepisode was put into place to warn viewers that the episode was going to be a bit scary, and that Marge’s warnings were mostly ignored, so they mostly ignored them. The two exceptions are Groundskeeper Willie is killed by an axe in all three segments, as well as in Treehouse. of Horror XXVIII, in which Maggie is possessed by the demon Pazuzu in theFirst segment and is still recovering in the next segment. The episodes are considered to be non-canon and always take place inside the normal continuity of the TV show, since each character appears to be fine afterwards. From. season 15’s \”Treehouse of Horror XIV\”, however, only one writer has been credited with writing each Treehouse episode.
