Did anybody else find the Treehouse of Horror episodes legitimately scary as a child?
>>82349314
The bit where they all turned inside out freaked me the fuck out.
>>82349314
Not the episodes themselves, but that one early ToH couch gag where they came down on nooses scared me a bit as a kid.
IV and V did and a couple of segments of earlier ones. Last one I remember giving me any sort of spooping was The Thing and I.
>>82349314
I did.
I really hated body horror/gross out humour as a kid. As an adult, I'm still not the fond of it.
I only remember being really unsettled when Homer woke up with Burns's head sewn on his body.
No.
>>82349519
Yeah, that entire segment spooked me good. I still find the idea of having my brain taken out and put into a robot unsettling, but that's no surprise really.
I think the scariest thing to come out of Treehouse of Horror may have been OPs pic. Instead of the usual Simpsons opening with blue sky, fluffy clouds and soft music you get a dark stage with a red curtain and silence as Marge walks in and warns you that the episode may be too scary.
>>82349436
this.
>>82349314
The episode where Skinner was grinding up the school kids and serving them at the cafeteria freaked me out, because it was that kind of pseudo realistic horror where you could easily imagine it happening to you.
Only the Nightmare on Elms Street one cause that was the first time I heard of that idea.
>>82349314
Not really. I do remember being really pissed off at that episode where there's a gremlin on the school bus, and then at the end Bart still gets taken away even though he was right. It just felt really unfair to me.
That one with the gremlin wrecking the bus. I had nightmares about that little fucker.
The one with the time-travelling toaster gave me a real sense of hopelessness as a kid how Homer could never go back to his old dimensioneven at the end
>>82349314
The Gracie films scream and creepy organ music scared me
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g0CR_Es8rU
The episode with the evil Krusty doll, the one with Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace, and the episode with Homer's time travelling toaster (this is indeed a disturbing universe) were all pretty scary
I found the Raven really creepy. Something about the atmosphere was unsettling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLiXjaPqSyY
>>82349967
was going to post this, it was creepy, especially the narration.
>>82349849
Same kek
>>82349436
I have to third this. It was treehouse 5.
I was about maybe 12 at the time, didn't know it was a special scary episode, and the whole part leading to that moment already made me uneasy (with the giant blender)
>>82349849
>>82349867
>>82350045
LOL everyone agrees
Personally the only thing that scared me as a kid was the couch gag where they were all skeletonset. Skeletons in general don't freak me out but how the Simpsons are drawn as Skeletons I always found unsettling.
Anyone have that picture?
>>8235023
Found
Luckily I have all the good seasons on my external hard drive.
Seriously freaked me out when I was a kid.
>Those eye sockets...
Was the inside out thing from a movie?
>>82349314
The Shinning always freaks me out.
Yes. Also the cold openings without any music kind of creeped me out
>>82349456
Oh man, The Thing and I terrified me. Especially since I first watched it home alone.
>>82349314
TOH was funny, interesting, but never scary. Then again, I was like 12 when it started airing, so...
>>82351381
t b h family the treehouse of horror episodes never freaked me out but the comics always gave me some kind of an uncanny feeling
>>82351944
>Marge Attacks
As if the obvious visual reference wasn't enough. Clever, yet unsettling.
>>82351944
ohhhh post the rest of the comic from that pic.
>>82349314
Man, TOH episodes were so fucking good back then. The Simpsons lost a lot of its charm as it went on.
I think the scariest ones for me were the alien centered episodes and the 'man on the wing of the airplane' parody.
What was that one where Willy haunts the kids dreams and kills them after Homer burns him alive at parent meeting at the school?
The zombie segment gave me nightmares.
Treehouse of Horror didn't even come close to the scariest Simpsons episode
>>82349314
Not scary, but some of them do have unsettling moments.
>>82351944
I remember reading a simpsons comic where Homer was having a nightmare that Bart was an alien from Alien (or maybe it was the other way around) and it scared the shit out of me because of the weird painting artstyle it was using and that I'd never heard of Alien before.
>>82352551
I fucking loved that episode, X-files is my shit.
>>82349751
Milhouse falling into the blender terrified me as a kid
>>82352431
Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOccRuhGSRI
>>82349907
If only he stuck around one second longer in the donut world, his life would've been literally perfect. I always felt bad for Homer there.
>>82354167
I don't know I laughed my ass off at that bit as a kid, probably because of the timing and I've never really given a shit about Milhouse.
>>82349314
The one where the Fox news guy got stabbed in the back freaked me out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYc7Da7miaE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptpU6Mj6DIM
>>82354607
Maybe you are a psychopath?
>>82354259
I didnt feel bad for homer but i felt very annoyed
>>82354899
Nah I definitely remember there being some kind of comedic intent to that bit. He falls into the blender immediately after Bart says that he's sure someone will definitely save them.
>>82349436
Jesus christ, that was horrifying.
Yes. Up until I think IX.
None of them really scared me except the one where the teachers kill the kids and eat them.
That one freaked me the fuck out.
The gremlin on the bus one legit scared me
Especially the decapitated Ned at the end
>>82352551
I love that episode but ever time Mr burns appeared in the woods with that green light was creepy as shit.
>>82349314
Non of the Treehouse of Horror episodes scared me but the one where Homer found the dead body in the drain pipe as a kid really freaked me out.
>>82349436
>dog starts sniffing bart
>grabs at one of his organs and starts biting it
>drags him away to eat him alive while he screams
>>82349314
Not fully scared for the most part, but they were well-crafted and a great mix of unsettling and humor. The first ToH was the only one that actually got close to being full on spooks. It's a shame that they're mostly just for any parody now, not even spooky ones.
The end of the teachers eating everyone thing, where Milhouse fell into a giant blender, haunted me for days.
>>82351944
Oh, the comics are so god tier.
>>82353046
Other way around. Aliens get everyone but Bart.
And yeah, it was drawn freaky as Hell. So was the one adapting Franz Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'.
And that one where the Simpsons live through 'Evil Dead'. The comics are legitimately scary.
>>82349314
I wouldn't say any were particularly scary, but I would say first time around freaked me out because I thought it was canon. I remember thinking Maggie was an alien or Bart had an attic brother for awhile.
>>82349314
>Did anybody else find the Treehouse of Horror episodes legitimately scary as a child?
Not really, but that's only because my mom let me watch movies like Predator when I was a kid.
And by 'let me' I mean she didn't give a shit what I did as long as I wasn't getting caught shoplifting or making her have to talk with school officials about my grades or behavior.
I mean cripes, this is the cover for issue THREE. and its been running for 21 years.
On the flipside, some of the stories are just pure shit. The one parodying Frankenstein Conquers the World/War of the Gargantuas was so bad I almost threw the damn thing away.
Did not want to see this as a child.
>>82355498
>snowball II just doesn't give a fuck
>>82355498
The most unsettling part of this image is Bart's blue shirt.
>>82355498
>The one parodying Frankenstein Conquers the World/War of the Gargantuas
holy shit what
probable terribleness aside, get me some images of that shit, i love kaiju flicks.
>>82354254
>You've mastered a dead tongue, but can you handle a live one?
Literally Elder-God tier script writing
>>82356140
>Nice to "Rake" your acquaintance
Fucking Willy
>>82356096
Would you believe there isn't a single scan of it? Probably because this was the same issue as the Death Note parody, which got all the attention.
Its Treehouse of Horror #14, if you wanna go look for it and download.
>>82351062
don't you mean shin..
>>82356337
Shh! Ya wanna get sued?
>>82356297
Thanks Boco, I found only one picture of it. Art is terrible.
Nobody's posted this fucking episode yet.
>>82356495
>we might have to change the name Springfield to Cloverfield
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
>>82356495
I'm pretty sure that art is paying homage to some japanese thing. I can't quite place it, but I know I've seen that style before.
>>82356542
Oh woops, didn't notice>>82352431 bring it up
>>82356561
Homer is dressed as Japanese Frankenstein who was supposed to fight Godzilla before they changed it to king kong.
But no the art itself is just bad and the lame cloverfield joke kills teh whole thing
>>82349314
I can't remember why but the genocidal dolphin one freaked me out way more than the rest (barring maybe this >>82349436 )
Can't remember why. Might needa watch it again but I feel like it was really brutal
>>82355498
I remember reading the one with poison candy
What the fuck was that
>>82355155
I actually found the part in the flashback/video where he's dying kinda funny.
Weird episode.
>>82349751
This still freaks me out.
>>82349967
>>82349979
Well, it isn't a parody; it's just a straight-up adaption with Simpsons characters.
>>82355362
>Evil dead Simpsons
Where can I see this?
I want to fuck panther Marge
I'm not good with blood and gore, so I couldn't watch Night of the Dolphin and a few other brutal THOHs
>>82349314
They were always pretty unsettling, but Bart's attic twin really freaked me out. I actually got nervous around AC vents.
I don't remember if it's in a Treehouse episode but the one where we learn that Bart has a twin hidden in the attic freaked me out.
Now I want to watch all those episodes
>>82349751
Weird. As a kid I always thought that episode was supposed to be like the urban legends & things you jokingly made up about your own school. It's like the sort of idea Calvin would make up in Calvin & Hobbes.
>>82351040
It's based on "The Dark" from the old radio show "Lights Out". They held up a wet rubber glove next to the mic & turned it inside out while crushing a basket (for bone-snapping sounds) to make the sound effect of people turning inside-out.
The one with Bart's evil twin scared me as a kid.
>>82362336
Yeah, but the freaky thing is that it's happening for real.
Personally I found the CGI one a little unnerving.
Homer was disassembled piece by piece and Bart almost died in a collapsing universe.
I recently rewatched "the day violence ended" and the ending was the kind of stuff that would have definetly scared me when I was a kid. Now I get it's some sort of metacommentary, but back then I was terrified of weird things that I couldn't understand. Plus Lester and Eliza are just unpleasant to look at.
>>82349436
That gag with willie getting axed tho
>>82362926
Watched it for the first time when I was 10. And up to that point, that was the hardest I ever laughed in my life, no contest.
>>82361217
Treehouse of Horror issue 18.
>>82362970
It's mostly because how unexpected it was, the fact that they do it a second time makes you expect a third one even less
>>82361485
I felt that way about the one with the futuristic house where the climax has a lot of violence and gore directed toward Homer. Turned it off when it originally aired because I just couldn't sit through that shit.
What was weird is that I'd watched most of the original TOHs when I was a little kid and the violence from those never phased me, but something from like season 13 was a bridge too far for whatever reason.
>>82351944
>>82356542
Do not touch willie. Good advice.
Hugo Simpson was the only one that actually freaked me out.
>>82351944

What's the name of this episode, again?
>>82361485
>tripfag being a complete faggot
What a surprise!
>>82354259
>>82354925
That part annoyed me because time travel doesn't just magically change the laws of physics like that. There's nothing you could do in the past to make a future where it rained donuts.
>>82351944
I used to collect the simpsons comics and horror issues allways had strange art-styles that were kinda creepy sometimes.
>>82349314
The one where the teachers killed and ate the students gave me nightmares
>>82365183
But somewhere along the way someone may have invented a way to change the laws of physics.
>>82365535
i love that one.
>>82357056
pretty sure that was the one made by the guys who made problem solverz
The couch gag in V where the Simpsons rearrange their body parts was a bit unnerving for me. I have no idea why.
>>82365714
most memorable Halloween issue?
>>82365714
>>82365817
Wait, these are OFFICIAL comics?
>>82349867
>That ending where he's holding Flanders head in front of Bart
>>82349314
The willy one was too scary for me
>>82365935
Yep.
The issue they're from got a bunch of indie comics guys to contribute.
Anyone remember the THoH comic where Homer is unfrozen and wakes up in a mid to late 1800's like setting?And it turns out he's just become a guinea pig for Kang and Kodos?
>>82352551
Fuck that shit
It still kinda creeps me out now
>>82352551
fuck when I was a kid that scared me so bad!
>>82352551
That spooked me pretty badly as a kid. Ayys in general terrified but also fascinated me, stuff like The X-Files and Fire In the Sky. It became an obsession for a little while.
I was basically Dib.

>that
>scariest regular Simpsons episodeNOW HOW BOUT A HUG
>>82366979
I couldn't help myself.
>>82367180
what is the scariest episode is s26eX, the fact that all the humor is gone yet it still remains a prime time tv show making fox millions. The fact that its humor is the exact same each episode, the sequences are always the same and the animation is piss weak.
>>82366069
Fucking hell, l liked that one. Forgot which issue it was, and l can't find scans of it anywhere.
>Damn the tea, indeed.
>>82367723
It's collected in Treehouse of Horror Fun-Filled Frightfest. It's fun going back and seeing some of the more prominent names they got for guest story/art. For example, the Bizarro parody was written by Mark Hamill.
>>82349456
It's too bad that episode freaks me out too much to watch it often, because it has some golden moments.
>Flashback Dr. Hibberts fro
>"Three! We have three kids Homer!"
>This scene
>>82367332
Anon, there's a point at which things become unquestionably unhealthy.
Generally no, but the flaming skeleton of Groundskeeper Willie cursing the people of Springfield TERRIFIED me. The rest of the episode didn't bother me at all, but the flaming skeleton fucked me up.
>>82349967
Is that James Earl Jones? I know he's been on the show before.
>>82368573
Yea the Willy ep was the only actually spooky one
