Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Simpsons on DVD will rule, October 29, 2000
By Nat (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
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.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Halloween?, December 16, 2001
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Halloween!!!, February 28, 2001
By "xxlessthanfishxx" (Bristol, IN United States) - See all my reviews
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?
