 Michael Stailey of "DVD Verdict" described the three "Treehouse of Horror" segments as "brilliantly crafted tales capturing the best elements of "The Twilight Zone", "Outer Limits", and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", injecting them into the Simpsons' universe".DVD reviewer Doug Pratt described "The Raven" as a "perfect adaptation".Kurt M. Koenigsberger said in his book "Leaving Springfield" that "The Simpsons", while "not strictly a literary form... is certainly the literate of all situation comedies".
