Editorial Review:
This three-volume set of six Simpsons episodes is more treat than trick, but a decidedly mixed bag. Anyone expecting a collection of just the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes will be disappointed. Volume 1, containing "Treehouse of Horror III" and "Treehouse of Horror V," delivers "the terror and foul horror" we've come to expect from these eagerly awaited annual Halloween broadcasts. "III" pays homage to the "Talky Tina" episode of The Twilight Zone (an evil Krusty doll tries to kill Homer), King Kong (Marge is the beauty who attracts giant beast Homer), and Night of the Living Dead (Bart unwittingly unleashes a reign of zombie terror). "V" is even more frightfully funny. No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy in "The Shinning" ("You mean 'The Shining,'" Bart corrects. "Shh, you want to get sued?" he is reprimanded). In a nod to Ray Bradbury, Homer is sucked into a time vortex and "alters the future in ways you can't even imagine" (Ned Flanders as "the unquestioned lord and master of the world"?). Last on the menu is "Nightmare Cafeteria," in which Principal Skinner and Lunchlady Doris cook up an unsavory solution to the school's overcrowding problem. Volume 2 strays from Halloween for two classic Sideshow Bob episodes, "Black Widower" and "Cape Feare." Kelsey Grammer is in fine voice as Sideshow Bob, whose evil plans are foiled by Bart. To be charitable, the episodes on volume 3, "Bart Sells His Soul" and "Lisa the Skeptic," would be more appropriate for a collection of The Simpsons' religious-themed shows. --Donald Liebenson
This set includes Trick Or Treehouse Volumes I-III Episodes Include: Treehouse Of Horror III, Treehouse Of Horror V, Black Widower, Cape Feare, Bart Sells His Soul and Lisa the Skeptic

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pretty good
This boxed set has some pretty good episodes. I especially like "Treehouse of Horror IV", especially the last segment, "Bart Simpson's Dracula". I think the bit when Lisa tells her parents "Mr Burns is a vampire, and he has Bart!" and Mr Burns and Bart appear, I think it's so creepy because obviously Bart is a vampire, but he looks especially spooky. I do enjoy the bit when Bart and four other kids come to Lisa's bedroom window, then Bart says "Come join us, Lisa, etc...Lisa, it's not like you have ... Read More
Rating:  - the best show ever
the simpsons by far beat every TV show out there
Rating: - Halloween?
This was a wonderful video set for Simpsons fans, but if your buying it for the halloween episodes don't. There are only two actual halloween episodes in this six episode set. The other episodes are good though as well. I only wished that they would have put all halloween episodes in the set.
Rating: - A must have for Simpsons fans
This is a hilariously entertaining set of videos that center around the Halloween specials, such as "The Shinning." This is where Homer turns crazy when he discovers that television and beer are unavailable at the creepy hotel. Other classic episodes are included, which are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.
Rating: - DVD soon to be released!
The Simpsons has been hailed by many as the greatest show to EVER hit television. So when the DVD format became immensely popular, fans of the show asked themselves, "Hey, wouldn't it be great if the heads at Fox put out DVDs of seasons 1-12 of the Simpsons?" Well, Simpsons fans, your dream has come true.
I've read on quite a few Simpsons websites that Fox is scheduled to release Season 1 of the show in early September of 2001. Included, supposedly, will be commentaries from the show's ... Read More
