October 30, 2006 – As we don our Halloween costumes and prepare for All Hallow’s Eve, here at IGN TV we’re taking a look back at one of our favorite show’s annual Halloween specials, The Simpsons‘ “Treehouse of Horror.” While the episodes haven’t actually aired on or before Halloween for seven years (FOX’s airing of the World Series has pushed the “Treehouse” episodes to November since 2000), the “Treehouse of Horror” eps are always some of our favorite Halloween specials.Each “Treehouse of Horror” episode is split into three segments — ranging from great, to OK, to not as memorable. We took a look through the 48 “Treehouse” segments from the past 16 installments of the seasonal special and picked out our favorite ten segments. There were many great segments to choose from, so if we missed your favorite moment from The Simpsons‘ “Treehouse of Horror,” let us know and we’ll include it in an edition of the IGN TV Mailbag.

This year’s installment, “Treehouse of Horror XVII,” will be airing this coming Sunday, November 5 at 8pm ET/PT on FOX. Check out our interview with Supervising Director David Silverman as well as three other exclusive interviews, a look at a scene from animatic-to-color and the opening sequence from the episode on our Simpsons video pages.

Now, without further ado, here are IGN TV’s Top 10 “Treehouse of Horror” Segments from The Simpsons!
