This is the one that started the tradition and it's still one of the best in my opinion all 3 stories are great and allows the animation team to go out of boundaries for what they normally can do. Classic Simpson's really is on another level. It captures the Halloween vibe so well with Marges opening love the jab at parents who blame tv shows for things they have control over. I also really like how it's at night and the kids and Homer are at a fire just telling scary stories. The first story is prolly my favorite of the episode but it's they're close. Love the classic family move into a new house that ends up being haunted cliche. The knife fight gag between the family and them apologizing to each other still cracks me up every time. I like the reveal that Marge was not hypnotized by the house. The house talking to the family is also great. The reveal of the Indian burial ground is also amazing. I think everything works in this episode and has a very creepy vibe to it. The second story is also amazing as well with the first time seeing Kang and Kodos who are great like always. I still love the twist at the end that they weren't going to eat them. As well as when the aliens kidnap Homer and his family. The first two are some of my favorite stories of the treehouse of horrors and the third one is great as well with the kids mostly Bart interrupting the story at some points making it even better. I still really enjoy the Raven story it is my least favorite of the three though. Bart as the raven is hilarious and the narrator and the music is top notch. Also love the jab at the first Friday the 13th which is even more tame compared to nowadays. I also lobe how it ends with Homer scared of the childrens stories more than the kids. All three stories are classics and are great parodies of what they were going for.
