The GREAT PUMPKIN still stands tall after all these years! The Garfield special is also a good one (I was surprised they re-aired it last year)

Sentimental favorite: "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!"

One I'd probably watch instead: "Treehouse of Horror V ("The Shinning"; "Time and Punishment"; "Nightmare Cafeteria")

Treehouse of Horror's are always fun, but I don't particularly remember which numbers are the better ones :D

Hmmmmm.... South Park springs to mind... The ones with the Worcestershire sauce zombies, the homocidal fish, the pirate ghost... Think that's it so far, right?

I'll see your "Treehouse of Horror V" and raise you parts IV and X.

They are:

IV:

"The Devil and Homer Simpson"
"Nightmare at 4 1/2 Feet"
"Bart Simpson's Dracula"

X:

"I Know What You Diddly-Iddly-Did"
"Desperately Xeeking Xena"
"Life's a Glitch, Then You Die"

--and I'll add "Treehouse of Horror VI" 's "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace" (Groundskeeper Willie as Freddy Krueger) and the episode of Ghostbusters where the guys met up with Samhain.

Hm...never saw the Garfield special on video, only read the book. Charlie Brown's is nice, but put me in for the Simpsons Halloween specials by far! Particuraly #6-THAT was the best one, since all the stories were scary and not stupid...also, anyone remember the AHH!-REAL MONSTERS Halloween eppy? For some reason, that one holds a place in my heart...monsters not getting to scare on Halloween! :rollseyes:

'Course, anything that scares me gets my vote. :D

I loved "Real monsters" lots!

But mark up another point for treehouse of horror.My favorite segments (I could never remember which ones go in what episodes) were "fly vs. fly" and the one where homer is traveling back and forth through time,altering history.(not very halloweenlike,but the gags in that one were hilarious...a world run by flanders!!!!!!)

Also the real ghostbusters one,even though I only saw it once and barely remember a thing...

Just off the top of my head, the Simpsons Halloween bits I enjoyed a lot were the one where Bart became a fly hybrid and the one where Maggie was revealed to be an alien offspring. Of course, there isn't any of them I dislike, tho my least favorite is the one that takes place in the past where they are found to be witches. That one didn't work as well for me, but all in all, there isn't a Treehouse special I wouldn't watch several times over. They never get old.

I love the Simpsons' Hallowe'en specials. The one with the time travel is so funny.

Okay, this one is really old, but I remember on Nickelodeon there was a show with Marc Summers and a bunch of kids trapped in a haunted house. I haven't seen it in years. I loved it. I waited for Hallowe'en every year so I could watch it.

Last year, there was a show on Fox Family Channel called Scariest Places on Earth that was part of their 13 Days of Hallowe'en thing. It's a pretty cool show. It is creepy.
