To the person who mentioned them possibly putting out all the THOH on DVD, they are apparently releasing Simpsons DVD's starting in February. They are going to do full seasons, with lots of extras. Apparently similar to the "X-Files" DVD's (which I've never seen.)

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.

I just recieved my "Trick or Treehouse" collection a week or two ago. It has a truely wonderful selection of Simpsons videos. Although only one of these three videos are Halloween specials as the sets name can make you think the other two can also relate to the somewhat creepy theme of the set. The Halloween video has some of my favorite Treehouse of Horrors episodes with Treehouse of Horrors 3 and 5. Springfield Murder Mysterys brings back the memory of Sideshow Bob and his murderous attemps for revenge when he attemps to murder Aunt Selma and tries once again to kill Bart. And in the final video "Heaven and Hell" Bart sells his soul to Millhouse for five dollars and must find it in his religon and in himself to find his soul and learn what his soul is to him and when Lisa finds what looks to be the skeleton of an angel she is left alone to prove to the town that it isn't really an angel, but what will happen at sundown?

Yes, unfortunately this set has only two of the THOH series, not even the great ones. But there are some great occult-y shows like Bart Sells His Soul and Cape Feare. I wish that there was one whole set of the THOH episodes. Perhaps on DVD?

The Simpsons is the hippest, funniest animated series, bar-none, but I have a couple of complaints about this set. First, why only two episodes per tape? At 22 minutes per show, why not put three or four on a tape? Second, why call it the Treehouse of Horrors Gift Set if only two out of the six episodes included are Treehouse of Horrors? That seems terribly misleading to me, and the Amazon.com reviewer did well to advise the customers of this fact.

If this were actually a set of Treehouse of Horror eps I-IX, three eps per tape, I would buy it in a second. As it stands, I will not buy this set, and can't recommend it, as much as I love the Simpsons.

but...people want the DVD, each season packed into a couple of DVD disc sets, like how they are doing with The X-Files and many other series. Imagine watching featurettes, deleted scenes, commentaries by Matt Groening, a couple of DVD-ROM extras, really early Simpson's episodes from the Tracy Ullman show (I think that Tracy Ullman is mispelled but I'm not a fan of her's I a Simpson's fan)---imagine all of the extra features and the video and audio quality that can be achieved for the best show ever!!!!! Watching from the time when Homer and Bart got Santa's Little Helper on Xmas until The Treehouse Of Horror XI and beyond!! It would be simply amazing, there aren't words to describe what it would be, it would be a major event.

This set contains some of the best episodes in the Simpson's history. Cape Feare is my personal favorite. Both of the Halloween episodes are classics, especially "The Shinning". The "Heaven and Hell" tape is good, but not quite what the other two are. This is definitely a must for any Simpsons fan.

These are some good episodes, the Side Show Bob (2) ones alone almost justify the price. The Halloween specials are #'s II and V for some reason. Until you can buy more than two episodes per tape at a time, this is one box set worth having.

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.

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 creators, outtakes from the various episodes, a few Simpsons shorts from the Tracy Ullman show and a few Easter Eggs. But these are early announcements. I'm sure Fox will pack it with other exciting Simpsons goodies, judging from their immaculate extra-flodded special edition releases which have been coming out lately.

Fox will also (supposedly) release each consecutive season every 6 months. Once season 1 is released and seasons 2-9 (the best Simpsons material) start hitting stores, it will be a major event for fans of the show. For further information regarding the DVD releases, visit www.nohomers.net, which is also the best Simpsons site I've ever visited.
