#20 - Treehouse of Horror XXI (2010)

Segment Ranks:

War and Pieces - 3
Master and Cadaver - 1
Tweenlight - 2

Another "solid 2s all around" episode, with the tonally-unique, almost Hitchcockian "Master" standing out slightly.

#21 - Treehouse of Horror XXXV (2024)

Segment Ranks:
The Information Rage - 3
The Fall of the House of Monty - 2
Denim - 1

These would all probably be the #2 segments in other episodes. Giving Denim the nod for the stop motion.

#22 - Treehouse of Horror XVIII (2007)

Segment Ranks:
E.T., Go Home - 2
Mr. & Mrs. Simpson -3
Heck House - 1

Another ep dragged down by a particularly bad segment. What does Mr. & Mrs. Smith have to do with Halloween anyway?

#23 - Treehouse of Horror XX (2009)

Segment Ranks
Dial M or Murder or Press # to Return to Main Menu - 1
Don’t Have a Cow, Mankind - 2
There’s No Business Like Moe Business - 3

Hitchcock parody for the win. Criss Cross!

#24 - Treehouse of Horror XIX (2008)

Segment Ranks:

Untitled Robot Parody - 2
How to Get Ahead in Dead-vertising - 3
It’s the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse - 1

The last segment accounts for the rank; that it's not higher is cuz of the others

#25 - Treehouse of Horror XV (2004)

Segment Ranks:

The Ned Zone - 2
Four Beheadings and a Funeral - 1
In the Belly of the Boss - 3

Featuring neither the worst (Dexter, XXII) nor the best (werewolf, X) Halloween version of Flanders.

#26 - Treehouse of Horror XIII (2002)

Segment Ranks:
Send in the Clones - 2
The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms - 3
The Island of Dr. Hibbert - 1

Not great, but this the first Halloween ep to officially be titled "Treehouse of Horror."

#27 - Treehouse of Horror XXXI (2020)

Segment Ranks:

Toy Gory - 3
Into the Homerverse - 2
Be Nine, Rewind - 1

The first two are what you'd expect (a lazy parody & a slightly less lazy one), but "Be Nine" has some fun w/time loops.

#28 - Treehouse of Horror XXVIII (2017)

Segments:
The Exor-Sis - 2
Coralisa - 1
Mmm...Homer - 3

"Coralisa" & its animation style does the heavy lifting here. "Mmm...Homer" is legit disturbing.

#29 - Treehouse of Horror XXIX (2018)

Segments:
Intrusion of the Pod-Y Switchers - #1
Multiplisa-ty - #2
Geriatric Park - #3

"Intrusion" has a fun twist, while "Geriatric" is deeply lazy. And Jurassic Park isn't even a Halloween thing

#30 - Treehouse of Horror IX (1998)

Segments:

Hell Toupee (evil hair) - 2
The Terror of Tiny Toon - (Bart & Lisa go into a cartoon) - 3
Starship Poopers - (Maggie is an alien) - 1

"Poopers" has its moments, but isn't very Halloween-y.

#31 - Treehouse of Horror XXVI (2015)

Segments:
Wanted: Dead, Then Alive (Sideshow Bob kills Bart) - 1
Homerzilla (Godzilla riff) - 3
Telepaths of Glory (Chronicles riff) - 2

The 3rd segment leans way too hard on terrible Japanese "accents."
