Yar, you be here: The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror > Customer Reviews The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror Customer Reviews (16 - 18 of 21 Reviews)Not as well-done as the Season Releases, but...
Okay what we have here are 4 Treehouse of Horror Simpsons episodes (5,6,7, and 12). There are no commentaries or special features other than a 3 1/2 minutes of Kang and "my sister" Kodos clips. The episodes are funny, and they all look great on DVD. You get the spoof of THE SHINING and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET along with many of the Sci Fi themed ones like the 2001 spoof with Pierce Brosnan as the evil in love with Marge home computer. You could wait for these on the season releases, but these come from season 6,7,8 and 13! I don't think FOX will stop releasing SIMPSONS on DVD sets, but the slow pace is from the creators who want each set to be chock full of extras and commentaries. So it could be a few years before they even get around to season 6. They are some of the wackiest episodes! And the price is pretty reasonable. So I say enjoy! Not Enough Treehouse of Horror Episodes!
I like The Simpsons so when I saw this Tree House of Horror DVD I bought it because I like the Halloween stories and I wanted the Tree House of Horror episodes because I don't know if I really want to buy every complete season DVDs for The Simpsons. Some of my favorite Halloween stories are on this DVD, The Shinning, Time and Punishment, Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace, etc. I'm disappointed that they only included Tree House of Horrors 5, 6 and 7 and skipped to 12. What happened to Tree House of Horrors 8, 9, 10 and 11? And They should have also included Tree House of Horrors 1, 2 3, and 4. The bonus feature with Kang and Kodos was just stupid clips taken from previous Kang and Kodos segments and was useless and the DVD is rather sparse and wasn't put together very good! I hope Fox eventually puts out a better Halloween DVD boxset that includes all of the Tree House of Horror episodes and gives us bonus feaures that aren't stupid and useless! Give us more!
Since first airing, the Halloween Specials (aka Treehouse of Horror) have been some of the most imaginative and satirical of Simpsons episodes. It's a shame that this is not a double disc collection of ALL Halloween Specials to date but the 4 presented here are definitely some of the best. First up is Treehouse of Horror 1 (1991) and, like Bart says about Friday the 13th part 1, it's pretty tame by today's standards. Second is Treehouse of Horror V (1995) which is my fave because it contains Homer 3, the episode in which Homer falls into the 3rd dimension and finally into the real world. Third is Treehouse of Horror VI (1996) in which the earth is enslaved by Kang and Kodos (posing as presidential candidates Clin-ton and Bob Dole). Lastly is Treehouse of Horror XI containing a fabulous Harry Potter spoof and the voice of Pierce Brosnan as a house who takes a shine to Marge. The DVD is in 1.33:1, as drawn and is in Dolby 2.0 surround. The only extra is a short clip highlighting Kang and Kodos best moments. It would be cool of Fox to release a few more of these Halloween sets as only a third of the Halloween Specials are featured here, sadly the one where Freddy and Jason are sitting on their sofa at the beginning is not one of them. Still, it's definitely worth picking up.
