The Simpsons: 15 Best Treehouse Of Horror Segments - Ranked

4. The Shinning

The Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror
20th Television

This segment is classic Simpsons, taking a pop culture reference and 'Simpsonizing' it with beloved characters and trademark humour. This was also done in Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace, however, The Shinning is the true shining example.

The Shining is a story known to most that The Simpsons are able to, not only pay tribute to, but have a little fun with at the same time. "No beer and no TV make Homer something, something" is as recognisable to Simpsons fans as the original line.

Almost every joke in this segment is a reference of some kind to the movie, which results in some of the smartest jokes The Simpsons have put out over the years.
