In 'Treehouse of Horror,' the first Halloween special, the Simpsons spoof The Amityville Horror when they find the house of their dreams, which turns out to be desperately haunted. Then the Simpsons are abducted by aliens, who seem to be fattening them up to eat them. A deliriously funny episode. In 'Bart Gets an F,' Bart is threatened with being held back if he doesn't pass history, which he is in danger of failing. So he makes a deal with smart-kid Martin, who will tutor him in exchange for Bart teaching him to be a normal kid. But Martin is too good a student and Bart winds up studying by himself. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - The first Treehouse of Horror and Bart learns something
With "The Best of The Simpsons, Volume 4" we get to the second season of the animated series and the first of the celebrated Halloween specials. These really represent the early years of the show when the focus was on Bart rather than on Homer as it is today, which makes the second one of these two episodes a paradigmatic story for the series:
Episode 16, "Treehouse Of Horror" (First aired October 25, 1990), is the first Halloween special for "The Simpsons," complete with Marge's warning ... Read More
Rating: - SIMPSONS ROCK!
As always, the Simpsons rock, no matter what! And the Treehouse of Horror kicks butt! I used it in the classroom when I taught the Raven. The kids loved it and it brought about some interesting discussion! Plus, it's just plain hilarious!
Rating: - Very hilarious
Of the 2, The house of horror was the best. Bart gets and F somehow wasn't very funny. But The House of Horror is the Halloween special. An example of the funny parts is (Homer "When you sold us this house, you didn't tell us it was built..on an INDIAN BURIAL BROUND! Yeah?! What? Well, that's not my recolection! Ok. Well, bye. He said he mentioned it 5 or 6 times." HaHaHaHa. I laughed alot on that one. There are many many more histerical lines, phrases, and scenes from the collection you won't forget!!
Rating:  - Two of the weak series 2 episodes
Series 2 was well below the usual Simspons standard, as the characterisation was still mvoing from its initial status onto what we've loved for years. And neither of these episodes are up to scratch, both being well short of good jokes (only the 'Snow Day' scenes really stand out). And the Treehouse of Horror episode was a poor start.
Rating: - Simpsons rule!
This is a great tape. "Bart Gets An F" was a great episode, one of the best, so don't let anyone tell you it's not, it was great! Bart was a three-dimensional character, and his problem was easy to relate to. "Treehouse Of Horror" manages to top it though. It was so good it started a yearly Simpsons tradition! It's a good buy, but I'd get it in the box set instead of just the single.
