Scare Factor Gracie Films (Treehouse of Horror Variant)
Treehouse of Horror I Variant: None. The original don't scare anyone

Treehouse of Horror II/III Variant: Low to Medium. The variant is only the organ without the scream. It may or may not frighten some depending on how prepared they are for it.

Regular Treehouse of Horror Variant: Medium to High. The screaming and the organ music can scare some younger kids, but it’s intentional since it's a Halloween-themed ident.

Treehouse of Horror VI/XIX Variant: Low. This isn't scary at all, but maybe a bit more scary or cheesy.

Treehouse of Horror VII Variant: Nightmare. The scream is scarier and the slow version of the music may startle some viewers.

Treehouse of Horror IX Variant: Medium to High. Regis Philbin saying “MY EYES! MY BEAUTIFUL EYES!” might scare those who aren’t expecting it.

Treehouse of Horror XII Variant: Medium to Nightmare. The scream at the end might catch you off-guard.

Treehouse of Horror XV/XXII/XXIII Variant: Medium to Nightmare. Homer screaming may get to some.

Treehouse of Horror XXI Variant: None to Low. The Wilhelm Scream makes it more amusing.

Treehouse of Horror XXIV Variant: None to Medium. The crowd chanting “One of us!” likely won’t be that scary to most.

Treehouse of Horror XXVI Variant: Medium to High, due to Homerzilla roaring, but most probably don’t mind it or may find it funny.

Thanksgiving of Horror Variant: None. Homer gobbling like a turkey made it funnier and it used the original jingle.
