"Treehouse of Horror XXXIII" is the sixth episode of the thirty-fourth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 734th episode overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on October 30, 2022. This is the 33rd Treehouse of Horror episode, and, like the other Treehouse of Horror episodes, consists of three self-contained segments: "The Pookadook" (a parody of The Babadook), "Death Tome" (a parody of Death Note), and "Simpsons World" (a parody of Westworld). The episode was directed by Rob Oliver, and written by Carolyn Omine, Ryan Koh and Matt Selman. This is the first Treehouse of Horror episode to not have an opening sequence, and instead just opens on a book of the episode before going straight into the first segment. This is also the first Treehouse of Horror since season 14's to feature a different writer for each segment. This is the first Treehouse of Horror to air closest to Halloween since 2011 without going into November.
The episode received positive reviews from fans and critics, winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program at the 75th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.[1] It is the twelfth episode in the series to win the award, and the first episode to win since "Mad About the Toy" in 2019.
