Remember the Treehouse of Horror 6 title sequence?

Following on from the shift in the titles last time, let's move on to 1995 and the sixth of the Halloween Specials.

This one begins a run of the specials that have very short openings.

It begins with the beating of hoofs along a road, and the reveal of a headless horseman.

The horseman lifts a head up from the side of the horse. The head of Krusty the Clown.

And then he throws the head at the camera.

Smashing into the camera, out of the ichor appears the shows title.

And cutting to the couch gag, it has the Simpsons hanging themselves...or was it murder.

It is a very short opening, even compared to some of the earlier one. But it allows them to spend more seconds on the now classic stories they had this year.
