What are "Treehouse of Horror" episodes?: Every year, "The Simpsons" does a Halloween special.

Are "Treehouse of Horror" episodes the season premieres?: No. For some reason Twentieth Century Fox just refers to them as Halloween specials, and not official season premieres. Recently, these episodes are the first ones to air in a season, thanks to FOX's coverage of the World Series. For the first several seasons regular episodes were aired before the Halloween special.
What are your favorite "Treehouse of Horror" episodes?: That's a difficult question to answer because each episode is so funny and kooky. I'd have to say my favorite is "Treehouse of Horror X" because it includes "Desperately Xeeking Xena," when Bart and Lisa become Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl, respectively. I love Comic Book Guy, and this send up of fanboys in general is riotous. It also includes "Life's a Glitch, Then You Die," when Homer and Bart end up on the rocket headed to the sun, along with Rosie O'Donnell and Pauly Shore.
What's "Much Ado About Hugo?": In "Treehouse of Horror VII", we discover Bart has Siamese twin brother named Hugo, who was separated from Bart at birth.
