Remember the Treehouse of Horror 25 title sequence?
The 2013 show proved to be quite a spectacle. But will 2014 try to top it, or go another way?
This year they open on some planet and the big show there. They begin announcing an array of stars that will be appearing. They also start playing the classic Tonight Show music. Is that still being used? If not, when was the last time it was used since the days of Johnny Carson?
We then get a variety of shots from various Treehouse of Horrors over the years. It is a nice call back to many of the stories that they told. I actually am blanking on some of them. Makes for a good excuse to go and enjoy them this weekend.

Remember the Treehouse of Horror 24 title sequence?
Now done with 2012, what will 2013 bring?! Well, they gave plenty of notice that Guillermo Del Toro was going to create the 2013 Treehouse of Horror opening. Anticipation was palpable.
We start much the way a normal episode opens, but with a stormy night's sky. In fact it is reminiscent of the original openings with the storm. Also the normal opening bird has been modified.
And then it's killed.
Now on to The Simpsons.

Remember the Treehouse of Horror 23 title sequence?
Will we open this year's show much like 2011's? With parody. Let's see.
We open in...Chichen Itza? That is new.
It's looking a lot like Springfield, old sights and faces.
The leaders of the community(including Bumblebee Man, I guess) are discussing the "imminent" doom of the world in so many baktun.
But they have a cunning plan to save the future. They've chosen a special sacrifice to fatten up to appease the gods.
Homer.

Remember the Treehouse of Horror 22 title sequence?
After last year, will Treehouse of Horror XXII prove to be a much needed palette cleanser?
Let's find out.
We open on an odd sight. Dead Santa on a roof.
We pan away and see it's the Simpson's house. I guess it's been up there since last Christmas...wait?
We also see some nice callbacks and choices. The tombstones in the front yard honor characters that have died in the show.
Also, I may be totally wrong, but I was thinking that Lisa is dressed up in honor of Bleeding Gums Murphy. And Bart's an astronaut?
Ah! A man in a spacesuit who's carrying an alien embryo. Maggie pops out in costume. Nice. And a little callback to one of the good jokes from last time.
The kids are ready to enjoy their Halloween haul, but Marge appears. She's playing the whole of a witch that takes away candy and gives better things in it's place.

Remember the Treehouse of Horror 21 title sequence?
Now we are passed the 20 year mark on these shows. In 2010 what will we see?
The show opens on the Simpson home, with Homer and Bart sitting outside.
The pair are carving Jack O'Lanterns.
But Bart gets bored and decides to carve something else.
Homer responds as he always does...You sometimes forget how disturbing that is to see...Does he still do this in the show? ...It really is just wrong.
Bart, fighting for his life, smashes a lit carved pumpkin over Homer's head.
The pumpkin ignites Homer's head.
And Homer begins to run around...And I am hearkening back to a more pleasant opening with VII.

Remember the Treehouse of Horror 20 title sequence?
Passing out of 2008, we now reach the 20th anniversary of these Simpsons' Halloween Specials.
We pan up to a castle overlooking the city.
Inside Frankenstein's monster rests.
But now he rises.
And heads out.
But comes back for the lights.

Now on to the 19th year. While 2007 had it's charm, what will 2008 hold?
An election year!
Remember '08?

Remember the Treehouse of Horror 18 title sequence?
With the 2006 show passed us, let's see what the 18th year had to show?
And we are back with Marge at the open. This time she's frosting some Halloween cupcakes, instead of standing before a theater curtain.
When the camera pans up to her, she welcomes us and says that while it's been a week since Halloween, at the Simpsons house they are keeping the spirit alive and...
...then an onscreen ad for American Idol pops up over her.
And she deals with it.
