Season 2, Episode 3: Treehouse of Horror

The Simpsons kicked off their annual “Treehouse of Horror” episodes during the show’s second season. Unlike regular episodes, “Treehouse of Horror” episodes consist of a few short horror-themed stories featuring characters from the show. The first “Treehouse of Horror” opened with Marge Simpson stepping out in front of a red curtain to warn viewers about how scary this episode is, an homage to Edward Van Sloan’s introduction to 1931’s Frankenstein.
