Every South Park Halloween Special, Ranked

For those who know me, you know me Love Halloween. This time of year is my favorite, as I sit down and watch some of the movies best horror movies or the best horror tv showsand just enjoy a spooky season. But do you want to know what else I’m a big fan of? South Park.

I enjoyed watching the film for years most scandalous South Park episodes or even watch some of them the most controversial South Park episodes in general. But when Halloween and South Park combine, it usually means we’re going to get good television. In honor of my favorite holiday I decided to… South Park Halloween themed episodes.

10. “Sons A Witches” (Season 22, Episode 6)

“Sons a Witches” came out during the twenty-second season of South Park and in which Randy and all his friends went into the woods for what they call a “Witches Week”, where they dress up as witches and get drunk and high for several days straight. One eventually turns into a real witch and causes chaos in South Park.

You know, you’d think I’d like this episode since I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter movies and basically anything that has anything to do with witches, but it just didn’t make sense. The episode itself is a parody of a lot of what was going on in the political landscape at the time, and it didn’t creep me out. This is a shame because I really love every episode that features Randy.

9. “Tegridy Farms Halloween Special” (Season 23, Episode 5)

While there have been several “specials” for it South Park now, Before there were specials, there was this episode, simply titled “Tegridy Farms Halloween Special,” which followed Randy as he tried to promote a new weed deal for Halloween, but thanks to his daughter, something caused the weed to mutate.

Randy and Tegridy Farms were an up and down process for the show. Some episodes are really great, and others are just pure garbage. This one is right in the middle and low among the Halloween episodes. Again, usually Randy is a knockout with many of his biggest episodes, but this one just wasn’t good. However, I will say that the shocking hallucinations were a good addition.

8. “Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers” (Season 17, Episode 4)

In “Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers”, the Goth kids team up with the Vamp kids to find a way to take down the ultimate poser – Emo kids – when one of them turns into an Emo kid is changed.

Look, I’m biased here because I never really liked the goth kids in South Park anyway. But the addition of brainwashing and everything else makes for a creepy entry. But it’s not my favorite.

7. “Korn’s Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery” (Season 3, Episode 10)

In this South Park Halloween Special: Nu-metal band Korn arrives in South Park for a “Halloween Haunt” but becomes entangled in a mystery involving pirate ghosts.

Look, this episode is a clearly parody of Scooby Doo, and i love it. I’m the person who will rewatch the movie best Scooby Doo movies and love every new iteration of the franchise (besides Velma), so i’m looking forward to this. But man, Korn doesn’t belong here. I understand what they were trying to do, but they could have used anyone otherwise the parody would have worked much better.

6. “Night Of The Living Homeless” (Season 11, Episode 7)

Okay, so “Night of the Living Homeless” isn’t necessarily deemed a Halloween episode. Still, most will agree that Halloween is the best time to watch this episode, so it’s like an unofficial official Halloween episode. A parody of the a lot of zombie movies out there, the episode follows how homeless people overtake South Park after Kyle donates money to a homeless man.

The episode itself is a great satire on real conversations about homelessness. In fact, it’s a parody some excellent zombie films and fits right in the middle of a Halloween ranking. It’s a great episode.

5. “The Scoots” (seasons 22, episode 5)

“The Scoots” is something I could totally see happening right now. The episode follows the residents of South Park as electric scooters take over the streets and everyone uses them. Mr. Mackey takes it upon himself to stop them before everyone uses them to get around on Halloween night.

Normally this type of episode would rank lower, but I really enjoy it because it’s the perfect horror story for today’s kids. Instead of walking from house to house, it’s all scooters going back and forth collecting as much candy as possible, and it’s just a total mess. Then there’s the fact that Kenny can’t afford a phone, so he can’t drive a rental scooter. It’s a great episode.

4. “Spookyfish” (Season 2, Episode 15)

The earlier seasons of South Park had some of the wildest episodes, and this one revolved around Stan’s new goldfish who is apparently evil and killing people left and right – and it kind of is from another dimension of opposite personalities, so it is one malicious fish.

Yes, I know. The whole thing is just a bit crazy and hard to follow, but I have to admit it’s one of my favorite Halloween episodes. They manage to execute the alternate dimensions and personalities very well, and the jokes are great.

3. “Hell on Earth 2006” (Season 10, Episode 09)

During Halloween in 2006, Satan decides to throw the biggest rager the earth has ever seen in California. Meanwhile, the kids summon Biggie Smalls by saying his name three times in the mirror.

With parodies of Candyman And My super sweet 16 somehow working together so effortlessly, I can’t find much criticism of this episode. It’s hilarious, well-timed, and has great jokes throughout. I’ve seen Satan dressed up in that Britany Spears costume several times now.

2. “Pinkeye” (Season 1, Episode 7)

This was undoubtedly the episode that made me laugh the most. “Pinkeye” is the very first Halloween special from South Park and follows the town of South Park as a zombie plague begins to spread, which is initially the doctor’s fault for pinkeye.

I Love this episode for a lot of reasons. A big one is that it came out in the early years of South Park, and the show did some wild things. As someone who loves the best zombie movies out there, I was a big fan of this episode, and it really puts you in the zombie mood.

A South Park blockbuster.

1. “A Nightmare on FaceTime” (Season 16, Episode 12)

Last but not least, I have to put “A Nightmare on FaceTime” as my number one. Although the title is a parody of all Nightmare on Elm Street movies, the episode itself is a parody of The radiant, one of The best film adaptations of Stephen King. It features a hilarious story about Randy going crazy in a Blockbuster Home Video.

As someone who grew up watching the end of Blockbuster, this episode brings back happy memories and also makes me laugh at how accurate it is and how hilarious the parody of The radiant is becoming. The B-plot of Stan trick-or-treating on FaceTime with his friends only adds to that.

Honestly, this is the time of year to watch the best Halloween movies or maybe make some fresh apple cider or buy some candy. But if it’s just you on Halloween this year, check out these great episodes. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
