What is Treehouse of Horror?

The "Treehouse of Horror" episodes are a yearly tradition for The Simpsons TV show. They are special episodes that come out around Halloween time. Unlike regular episodes, these episodes are not part of the show's normal story. They are usually much scarier, funnier, and sometimes even a bit gruesome!

How the Episodes Work

Each "Treehouse of Horror" episode is split into three shorter stories. These stories often make fun of famous horror movies, science fiction tales, or scary stories. The characters from The Simpsons (like Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie) play different roles in each story. For example, Homer might be a monster, or Bart might have special powers.

Spooky Fun

The episodes are known for their unique style. They often break the usual rules of The Simpsons world. Characters might even die, which never happens in regular episodes! This makes them exciting and unpredictable for viewers. They are a big part of the show's history and a favorite for many fans, especially during the Halloween season.
