ZOMBIE FLANDERS Dad, you shot the Zombie Flanders

@@IcyDiamond He was a zombie?

CUE THE TITLE!

No.

I recommend Dankmus on KZfaq for a really good remix of this scene and episode.

"eat lead Einstein!" "shows over Shakespeare!" "''tis this the end of Zombie Shakespeare?"

@@Maniac4Bricks Hell yeah, Dankmus is a ledge.

That is my favorite line ever from the Treehouse of Horror Series ever

Funny

I agree. I also remember how much Bart as The Raven creep me out as a kid especially at the end

@@gianinabadami5341 I'm scared of werewolf flanders

I hear ya, @@angelxcutiee69

@@gianinabadami5341 the reason is how they make it sound when he eats homer at the end

Pazuzu!Maggie gets me the most. Something about a child with no concept of morality having demonic powers makes my scales crawl, and when that child is _Maggie Goddamn Simpson_ and *_on fire_* I'm gonna check out and leave the country.

I come to you from the future!

Your wish is his command!

I don't think the warning is with no irony or strings attached when it's a parody of the same warning for the Frankenstein movie (1932)

Hi Luffy!

I'll be honest, Marge's phrasing for that joke always rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe I'm hearing it wrong but I think she says "How DO you know he's a vampire?" which makes no sense in that context.

"Homie we have to do something. Today he sucks blood, tomorrow he might start to smoke."

@@notmyname9261 because he has a stake in his hand

Michael Fixedsys Same with “he gets turned into koolaid”

I came down to the comments specifically for that as it caught me so off guard and the absurdity of it got a good laugh from me

*speaks with James Earl Jones' voice* "This is indeed a disturbing universe."

willie: there pretty as a picture....(zombies climb out) agh zombies!!!...(fixes the dirt)..there pretty as a picture..me: dead!..what a moment...just wow...that moment always was funny but now at age 22 its really funny...like wtf

that line always reminds me of that one Halloween episode of "Married… with children" where the Death appears as Peggy Bundy and talks about some of the folks she took and even Shakespeare. And how much disappointed she was that his last words were only (quote): "uughhahhhhh uuuuhhh!!" despite being such a big number of a writer.

Take Shakespeare...and I did...

Seymour skinner: YES

You shouldn't have lied to me about Lenny.

No it was homer and mr burns from treehouse 2.even know they technically did not die they were still dead for a time

@@Discordisnotagoodthing no your both wrong, the first death was a house

​@@ilikechocolate2518it's a spirit. Technically the house was already dead. In my mind, the first real death was Marge being lanore in The Raven

​​​@@freakfoxvevo7915same. Imo Marge a.k.a "Lenore" is the first ever Treehouse of Horror death, even if it technically happens off-screen and doesn't really follow the same pattern as the other deaths that ToH is famous for. Regardless, it's still the very first death to have happened within a ToH. I guess if you don't want to count it, do to it being off-screen and to complete the reference rather than for shock or comedy like the other deaths we later see, then I guess you could count Lenny as the very first (on-screen) death in ToH. To me tho, it'll always be Lenore. Since regardless of it being done for the sake of the Edgar Allan Poe reference and happening off-screen and whatever else some may say to discredit it's status as First. Regardless of what anyone has to say it's still the very first death mentioned within a ToH, so that makes it the first, dammit! May naysayers be damned!! 😂😂😂

Was thinking the same. Though, the clones weren't exactly like Homer, some looked odd (like parodies of the character), others dumber than the original, even one that was more intelligent than the actual Homer, and moreover, they didn't have a belly button! So, there is an argument to be made if they shouldn't count as Homer seeing the only verifible quality they have in common is appearance.

Good point... This was one we debated a lot too. I look at Bart as being one individual person, one person who came into the episode, died 8 times, and exited the episode as the same person. Whereas the Homer that enters the clone episode dies during the segment, and also a bunch of others versions of him. I viewed it more as Homer (the character) dying + a bunch of belly-buttonless clones. I had a little trouble with the legal distinction of a clone as a distinct separate individual. Besides, including all his clones makes a countdown no fun, anyway. ;)

I was thinking about that while watching & "WAS going to comment BUT I don't think think that was part of the Treehouse series and was a separate episode.

If we did count all the clone homers, what would his death count be?

Technically that was just one death unless you wanna keep pausing the episode to count (keeping in mind they weren't all on screen at the same time)

I was surprised in the later episodes how much more willing they were to kill at the kids. They went out of their way to kill Nelson again this year. Even Baby Gerald has 2 deaths now.

@@TheRealJims Not sure if this was just how I experienced media, but way back (90's?) it was taboo to kill children in mainstream media. Heck you couldnt get away with swearing on it either. When I was growing up the first time a character swore on mainstream tv went through all my friends gossip. Same with the first child to be openly killed on tv, they always got killed offscreen or let it open to interpretation if they dared to do it at all. Lol I remember how scandalous it was when it happened, my friends couldnt believe it. But obviously that opened the flood gates and it's become more accepted since.

I unfortunately think they should’ve kept her sucking her pacifier out. That was creepy!

Funny how people say cartoons today are less violent when stuff like this happened way back.

@@El_Omar2203 people whining about "things today" being more PC or censored are just outright wrong and are just upset about very specific consequences.

Same

Giovanni Orellana so good

🙌🙌🙌🙌

Okay, since I think this only counts between Treehouses of Horror I to XVIII (I haven't found a mention to deaths in later episodes), so I tought I'd combine this list with The Simpsons Theory's countdown of deaths, which does include the most recent episodes. 1. Homer Simpson: 21 (+12) 2. Bart Simpson: 16 (+6) 3. Ned Flanders: 14 (+1) 4. Lisa Simpson: 12 (+6) 5. Principal Skinner: 11 (+1) 5. Mr. Burns: 11 7. Chief Wiggum: 10 (+1) 8. Nelson Muntz: 9 (+2) 9. Groundskeeper Willie: 8 (+1) 10. Moe Szyslak: 7 (+3) 10. Krusty the Clown: 7 10. Dr. Hibbert: 7 10. Comic Book Guy: 7 14. Sideshow Mel: 6 14. Milhouse Van Houten: 6 (+3) 14. Lenny: 6 (+1) 14. Selma Bouvier: 6 (+1) 14. Kirk Van Houten: 6 14. Hans Moleman: 6 (+1) 20. Jimbo Jones: 5 (+1) 20. Patty Bouvier: 5 (+1) 20. Sea Captain: 5 20. Carl: 5 20. Professor Frink: 5 (+1) 25. Marge Simpson: 4 (+6) 25. Grampa Simpson: 4 (+2) 25. Apu: 4 25. Disco Stu: 4 25. Ms. Hoover: 4 25. Kent Brockman: 4 25. Snake: 4 25. Dolph: 4 (+1) 25. Üter Zörker: 4 34. Waylon Smithers: 3 (+2) 34. Kearney: 3 (+1) 36. Gil Gunderson: 2 NR. Maggie Simpson: 2 (+4) The defining factor for this was Treehouse of Horror XXXI, with the segments "Into the Homerverse" and "Be Nine, Rewind". The previous boosted Homer's death count by 6 (with Homer and 5 clones being killed by Mr. Burns), and the other killing Lisa 9 times, and Nelson 6 times.

watching the first treehouse segment aka bad dream house is like the perfect simpsons Halloween yearly tradition in my house...its perfect..it still holds up..its scary funny and just bizarre....it allows the staff to have fun and do some huge parodies and make them bigger and longer and more unique...I think that segment is why it became so popular..it just is magical to watch...the house itself the creepy moments the ending..wow

Tbh I like all the treehouses with the later seasons being more cathartic and gory and the older ones being well written and funny

Omg didn’t expect to see u here

One thing I think the new seasons do well is the Treehouse of Horror episodes.

the older ones are so much creepier to me, maybe it's the nostalgia, but I say it was the writers. They were just better!

@@ilovesmosh2012 What's the best treehouse of horror from the newer seasons? The intro where it shows them going millions of years into the future was really surprising, and actually made me say "Damn, maybe these aren't all bad.." (The Don Hertzfeldt couch gag)

@@ZeranZeran Treehouse of horror XXXI is pretty good also the Thanksgiving of Horror.

They did a little bit of Evil Dead 2 in the comics, Treehouse #13 Prop, Prop, Whiz, Whiz!

@@crispysteve42 Based.

Maybe because he took 3 minutes to get to the actual video

Sam phelps. Yh, man. I agree

Too predictable.

@Die Commie Molemen Oh, Homer.

My sister and I were like 6-7 when we saw that segment and would die laughing when King Homer ate Shirley Temple and the gas bomb gag

Is this the end of zombie Shakespeare?

The living dead had to die first and then are usually reanimated after death. Undead refers to something that cant die by "old age" even if it used to be human. I guess those terms were more used in the 90s than now but that's how I remember it

@@issholland If you were completely resurrected, then wouldn't that just make you alive? What would Bucciarati from JJBA fall under? He was reanimated but his body was deteriorating at a rapid pace, eventually causing him to lose his sense of hearing and sight.

@@VGamingJunkieVT complete resurrection means you're a regular human again

@@issholland That's what I figured. Resurrection simply means alive and well. Not sure what you mean by living dead, a fallible zombie/lich?

@@VGamingJunkieVT yeah a zombie or a lich would be living dead because by all metrics they are "dead," like heart rate, brain activity, anything along those lines, but they still have "living" functions like zombies still eat even though they dont need to or a lich still having the means to "think" even though their brain would have long deteriorated like their body did

Willie: ...Maurice, you, die!...lol..

Any examples?

@@ghhn4505 Treehouse of Horror comic #14, story 1: "30 Days of Do'h".

Well, for Lisa.

Is that the one where he got burned, or is that the one where he got axed in the back in every act?

@@carultch Axed in the back in every act, the one where he got burned was Treehouse of Horror VI

I remember that in act 1 Groundskeeper Willie got axed by Homer. Act 2 Maggie axed Willie then speaks in Darth Vader's voice. Act 3 Principal Skinner axed him.

@@melissacooper4282 That the episode.

Perhaps when he used the flying fan in the episode where homer became a boxer? He did use it to rescue people. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ6Ed7OFm7DSk5c.html

Yea that happened.

But it was a parody of Nightmare on elm Street.

gets wipped lol

Cos the older it is, the more often you've been able to see it maybe?

Yeah, same. I stopped watching the Simpsons around Season 15 but every year I always make an effort to watch the Halloween Specials. The new ones are weird and disturbing and full of death, but the old ones were beautiful in the way Classical Simpsons was beautiful. I definitely don’t remember many Treehouse of Horror episodes from the 10s or 20s seasons.

@@AmberAmber I think that you may have the answer there. Feeling down = Watch an old episode.

@I forgot to add a name yea but Horror isn't just showing a bunch of death. Good horror focuses on the build up and fear before the death rather than making the death itself the scary part.
