The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror COLLECTION 1 on iTunes!

It was not that long ago that I purchased a crappy VHS copy of all The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes (up 'til that point) on eBay.  It was grainy... the volume fluctuated wildly between each episode and sometimes seconds were chopped out due to the commercials being removed.
But I didn't care.
I finally had all the Simpsons Halloween episodes in one place to watch year after year.

Well... until technology made VHS obsolete...

Now, it's 2009 and we're in the midst of the digital revolution where I can buy crisp clean versions of the Treehouse of Horror episodes and watch them on a device that fits in my pocket instead of my shelf.

Life is good.

Fox, in a moment of brilliance, has released Treehouse of Horror Collection 1 on iTunes.
For just $9.99 you can get 6 full episodes of the Halloween episodes--- a savings of two bucks by buying the collection over individual episodes.
In a moment of madness you get a smattering of episodes across the 20 years of the specials.

Click these words Treehouse of Horror Collection 1 to go right to the collection for purchase (I'll get 15 cents, which I will redeem for a Tootsie Roll.)  

I think this is a great idea and I'm going to be sure to purchase the compilations in the hopes that we'll get a new compilation every Halloween.  I used the word "compilation" too many times in that last compilation of words.

The DVD of V, VI, VII and XII is still available on Amazon too for well under ten bucks.
