*On Halloween episodes of ''The Simpsons'', starting with "Treehouse of Horror IV", a woman screaming cowardly replaces the shush, and the logo theme is played on a synthesized pipe organ. Numerous other alternate versions of the theme have been used over the years (see "Variants" above). Earlier ToH installments lacked some parts of the audio (the very first one and "Halloween of Horror" use the standard theme). On "Treehouse of Horror XXI" (2010), the woman's scream is replaced with a low-quality 8-bit sound file of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream Wilhelm scream]. | *On Halloween episodes of ''The Simpsons'', starting with "Treehouse of Horror IV", a woman screaming cowardly replaces the shush, and the logo theme is played on a synthesized pipe organ.

*On some ''Simpsons'' episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, such as "Dancin' Homer" and "Lisa the Vegetarian", the closing song continues playing over the Gracie Films logo. This includes some syndication prints that shift the closing music so it starts after the last commercial break, causing the music to end over the logo. | *On some ''Simpsons'' episodes that feature songs during the closing credits, such as "Dancin' Homer" and "Lisa the Vegetarian", the closing song continues playing over the Gracie Films logo.

*The extended version from the graciefilms.com website removed the muttering and murmuring, and adds film projector sounds, as well as a sneezing sound, a whispering sound, and a laughing sound. Of course, the classic music is still present. | *The extended version from the graciefilms.com website removed the muttering and murmuring, and adds film projector sounds, as well as a sneezing sound, a whispering sound, and a laughing sound.

*On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (as a result, the "Shhh!" sound effect plays right after the last note of the closing theme, which is heard at the start of the logo). With the show's cable debut on FXX on August 21, 2014 (when the ''Every Simpsons Ever'' marathon began), new syndication prints which are cropped (with some parts stretched) to fill the 16:9 screen now feature two credit cards for the Spanish Language audio track in between the copyright card and the Gracie Films logo, so now this is not seen on the new syndication prints. However, this is preserved on the DVD releases, existing local syndication prints, and on [[Disney+ Originals|Disney+]] (4:3 option must be selected). | *On many ''Simpsons'' episodes since Season 4, the logo is shown without the murmuring (as a result, the "Shhh!" sound effect plays right after the last note of the closing theme, which is heard at the start of the logo).

*''The Simpsons'' episode "Angry Dad: The Movie" uses an abridged version of the jingle, composed of the first four notes and the final note. There is also no "Shhh!" in this version due to Ricky Gervais' dialogue going over half of the logo. However, the logo is not interrupted on FXX's airing of this episode due to the SAP credits at the end. | *''The Simpsons'' episode "Angry Dad: The Movie" uses an abridged version of the jingle, composed of the first four notes and the final note.

*''The Simpsons'' season 27 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXVI" features a slightly abridged version of the Halloween organ music. Due to the standard scream being replaced with Homerzilla's roar, the music comes in halfway through the logo with the music finishing up over the 'In Association With' screen, so the last note, usually held down, plays for the same length as the normal piano tune. | *''The Simpsons'' season 27 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXVI" features a slightly abridged version of the Halloween organ music.

* ''The Simpsons'' season 28 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXVII" (which, coincidentally, is the show's 600th episode) also uses the same abridged version from the previously mentioned episode - however, whilst the previous one used a long, loud roar which causes the music to come in late, the standard scream is played, but it comes in late (after the "shh!" gesture is made), resulting in the music playing late. | * ''The Simpsons'' season 28 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXVII" (which, coincidentally, is the show's 600th episode) also uses the same abridged version from the previously mentioned episode - however, whilst the previous one used a long, loud roar which causes the music to come in late, the standard scream is played, but it comes in late (after the "shh!" gesture is made), resulting in the music playing late. | ||
