For nearly three decades, The Simpsons has paid their respects to Halloween traditions with annual episodes that embrace many of the holiday’s horrifying aspects. For those interested in getting caught up on all of the installments in the week leading up to Halloween, FXX will be airing themed marathons featuring each “Treehouse of Horror” episode.

The tradition first began in the show’s second season, with the family heading into Bart’s treehouse to tell each other spooky stories. This format alerted audiences that the segments weren’t official canonical events in the family’s life, but merely an opportunity to lampoon various famous horror stories. Following years changed this format using the device that these were all candy-fueled nightmares and terrifying tales told at a Halloween party before ultimately abandoning the device, as audiences had come to expect the structure.

In addition to honoring The Simpsons, FXX will also be airing a variety of horror movies this weekend. Kicking things off Saturday, October 28 at 11:00 AM will be Riddick, followed by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Dracula Untold, The Purge and back-to-back showings of The Purge: Anarchy beginning at 8:00 PM ET.

The horrors continue on Sunday, October 29 at 11:30 AM ET with encore presentations of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Dracula Untold, followed by The Book of Life at 4:00 PM ET, Hotel Transylvania and back-to-back showings of the world broadcast premiere of Hotel Transylvania 2 at 8:00 PM ET. The marathon ends with Surrogates at 12:00 AM ET.
