In an effort to stretch "The Simpson's" name even thinner, FOX chose to release the clearly premature and underdeveloped "Treehouse of Horror" compilation, a noticeably lackluster collection of random Halloween episodes, specifically episodes five, six, seven and 12. There is no underlying logic as to why FOX decided to include only these four episodes on the DVD; they are by far not some of the best. Bits like "The Shinning" and "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace" are this disc's only real highlights.

No care was taken in developing any sort of special features either. The main menus are incredibly slow and aesthetically confusing. The one extra that is featured is a lame and messy assemblage of clips starring the two aliens, Kang and Kodos. In the end, "Treehouse of Horror" is a pathetic attempt by FOX to squeeze every ounce of green out of "The Simpsons" before they ride off into the sunset.
