Treehouse of Horror episodes are a staple of The Simpsons, having aired once every year since Season 2. These instalments are widely viewed as fan-favourites, and serve as a rare beacon of light in the recent declining quality of the show. Even through The Simpsons at it's best, though, the Treehouse of Horror episodes were always counted among the most popular.

With every upcoming season, fans know that they will be treated to an episode that is completely unique and unlike anything they have seen before.

With its threesegment format, we are able to see more new stories within the usual 22-minute span of an episode, and because it is a Halloween special, there are no rules to follow and no ramifications for further episodes. All this adds up to some of the most creative, fun, and exciting episodes the show has to offer.

With so many Treehouse of Horrors being released over the years, some stories are bound to be better and more memorable than others. Let's look through the top segments of all time and answer the question: Which is the very best?

Where else could we see giant advertising boards go on killing rampages other than in the Treehouse of Horror? This segment pokes fun at advertising and the effect it has on us and is done in true Simpsons style.

The fact that all this stems from Homer wanting a colossal donut reminds us why we love the character so much.

A lot of the Treehouse segments end in some kind of catastrophe for our favourite family, however here they are able to save the day by simply ignoring the adverts. There is a lesson in this segment, if you can stop laughing long enough to see it.
