Ya know in hindsight the oldschool Treehouse of Horror episodes served as pretty good introductions to the genre for the literal little gay baby children of the 90s.It is the only thing that I vividly remember disturbing on The Simpsons. I especially hated Santa’s Little Helper mauling Bart lol.
In terms of ones I recall freaking little gay baby holden out when I first watched them, the evil krusty doll one in III was surprisingly creepy, I remember getting freaked out by the bus gremlin segment in IV especially when it taunted Bart with Ned's severed head, and the cannibal teacher segment of V genuinely gave me nightmares. The last one I was young enough to be unironically creeped out by was the Nightmare on Elm Street segment of VI, which just about marks the point where the show itself was getting stale and I was no longer a literal 7 year old.
Given the biggest competition they had for "babys first spooky" was fucking Goosebumps though its not like the market for that specific niche was saturated with cawntent
