"Treehouse of Horror IV" is a pretty good episode and is easily the best in the TOH anthology series so far. While I didn't care too much for the second and third segments, "The Devil and Homer Simpson" is terrific and is easily the best this anthology series has provided so far.
Overall, solid instalment.
This is so nice the best will always be dracula "das vampier" xD
Imean all 3 storys are perfect :) the best oldschool episode
The first Treehouse of Horror I remember watching on TV! Fantastic from start to finish

[8.6/10] So many laughs here! From the frame story (literally) with the Simpso-fied art gallery, to the segments themselves, everything here was stellar.
The best segment is probably the first one. Making Flanders the devil is an inspired choice, and the whole forbidden donut setup for the episode is great. Homer’s day in hell is full of classic moments, and the trial is great for comedy as well. Plus, ending the the whole thing with Homer having already pledged his soul to Marge is a tidy way to resolve the issue that even adds a bit of heart.
The middle segment, with Bart seeing a gremlin on the side of the bus, is a nice parody of the Twilight Zone original. Bart’s growing paranoia is played nicely for laughs, and the show manages to create a pretty claustrophobic setting out of the bus. The mix of classic horror with the elementary school politics on the bus is a great idea.
The last segment, with Burns as Dracula is the shaggiest of the three stories, but also quite possibly the funniest. The escalating vampire issue leads to some great laughs, and the Charlie Brown fake out ending, while silly, continues the absurd spirit of the segment.
Overall, one of the best THoH episodes the show ever did.
