What's your favorite Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror" story?
Not the whole episode, but the shorter, 10 minute bit?

I'll post mine first: "The Genesis Tub" from Treehouse of Horror VII.
That's the one where Lisa creates life while doing a science project. It has one of my all-time favorite lines in it: "I've created Lutherans!"

"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!"

"The politics of failure have failed. We must make them work again!"

"Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!"
(Crowd response) "HOORAY!!!"

:rofl:

13. So many great lines in that one - kinda creepy true-ish. That and "The Raven" from the first one
are still my faves. Damn I need to break out some of those now. :)

4. Oh Lisa, you and your stories. Bart is a vampire. Beer kills brain cells.
Now let's go back to that building.... thingy.....where our beds and TV.,.., is.

From THOH 4 - one of my all time favorite Homer quotes.

5. 60 stories
I think they have all been 3 stories so that means going over 60 stories in my head.

Still, the one that shines for me is the one were Homer travels back in time and keeps creating disturbing alternate realities finally finding one that was close enough. Best part was the universe where everything was perfect except no one knew what doughnuts were. After he left it rained.... doughnuts.

10. That and "The Shinning" were top notch.
Homer: "No TV and no beer make Homer something something..."

Marge: "Go crazy?"

Homer: "DON'T MIND IF I DO!"

6. "The Shinning"
Best TOH ever!

Marge: "What Homer's written will be a window into his madness.
(checks what he has typed, which is "Feelin' fine.")
Well, that's a relief!
(lighting illuminates the huge hall at the hotel, where Homer has written "No TV and no beer make Homer go crazy!" on every surface - walls, ceiling, etc.)
Ooh. This is less encouraging."

8. Easy-Bake Coven
From VIII.

I loved Marge's casual dismissal of the crucifix, and how her black hair turned into bats. Plus, we finally learned about how the custom of Trick-Or-Treating started. ;-)

12. probably "Dial Z for Zombies"
This exchange is one of my favorite bits of dialog from the whole show:
Lisa: Dad, we did something very bad!
Homer: Did you wreck the car?
Bart: No.
Homer: Did you raise the dead?
Lisa: Yes.
Homer: But the car's okay?
Lisa, Bart: Uh-huh.
Homer: All right then.

And this one slipped by me several times before I caught it:
Homer: To the book depository!

15. "There, pretty as a picture."
"Zombies!"

Fills in holes zombies came out of.

"There, pretty as a picture."

Citizen Kang

Kang and Kodos take on the form of Bill Clinton and Bob Dole.While fishing, Homer is abducted by the aliens Kang and Kodos. When they demand that Homer point them towards Earth's leader, Homer tells them about the then-upcoming election and that the winner could be either Bill Clinton or Bob Dole. Kang and Kodos kidnap both Dole and Clinton, placing them in suspended animation tubes. Kang and Kodos take on their forms to ensure that one of them will become the next leader. Before returning Homer to Earth, the aliens soak him in rum so nobody will believe him. Later on, Homer stumbles upon the badly hidden spaceship and tries to save the real Dole and Clinton; however, he accidentally ejects them into space. On the day before the election, Homer successfully reveals the candidates' real identities. Realizing it is too late to get new candidates, one man in the crowd decides to vote for a third-party candidate. However, Kang and Kodos convince the crowd that doing so would be a wasted vote. Kang is elected President and forces the citizens of America to build a giant ray gun to aim at an unknown planet.<2><3><4><5>
