Here we have 7 of the scariest episodes from first to the eleventh seasons of the ground braking series South Park. First we have the seventh episode of season one, "Pinkeye". The MIR Space Station crashes on top of Kenny the day before Halloween. A fluke accident involving Worcestershire sauce at the morgue turns Kenny into a zombie, causing most of the town to eventually turn into zombies as well. I am a very big fan of Kenny and this was one of Kenny's best of the first season. This episode also has a Halloween themed opening that sets the mood nicely. Cartman's racism hits the first new low in this episode. Cartman's racism hits one of his first lows in this episode as he falls in love with Hitler, then is dressed as a "ghost". I miss the midget in bikini and the Mrs. Crabtree gags. "Pinkeye" included the first appearance of Principal Victoria, the principal of South Park Elementary. Her appearance is based on Comedy Central executive Debbie Liebling, who served as a South Park producer at the time of the episode's broadcast. Kenny is turned into a zombie after a mortician accidentally knocks Worcestershire sauce, a fermented liquid condiment, into his embalming fluid. Parker and Stone originally planned to have a Dr Pepper fall into the embalming fluid (in a belated response to that product's slogan "Dr Pepper, What's the Worst That Could Happen?"), but it was changed after the soft drink company objected to that use of their product. And of course this episode features a parody of the Michael Jackson song "Thriller", as well as the music video.
Next is Spookyfish, the fifteenth episode of Season Two. Complete with "Spooky vision" (in response to Streisand's reception to the season one episode "Mecha-Streisand"). Aunt Flo comes to stay, but her goldfish she bought for Stan Marsh turns out to be evil. I love how Stan's mother is diligent in cleaning up all of the killings because she thinks Stan killed them.
The third installment is Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery, the tenth episode of Season Three. It's Halloween and Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny dig up Kyle's dead grandma to scare the 5th Graders(5th Grader Leader, later known as 6th Grader Leader and one of his two 5th grader goons). Korn comes to town and a mystery involving pirate ghosts begins. My favorite part of this Episode is the parade between Korn and Scooby-Do. I also extremely like the end of this episode. Kenny, despite his bipedal robot war machine "costume", fails to win the costume contest and loses to Wendy Testaburger in her recycled Chewbacca costume from Pinkeye. Soon after his loss lowers the arms of his walker machine in disappointment at losing showing how sad he was that he didn't win.
The Fourth installment of this is "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes". The ninth episode of the eighth season. In order to save South Park, Stan and Kyle have to find a way to destroy the ever-expanding Wall-Mart superstore while keeping Cartman from stabbing them in the back. Its title and theme were inspired by the 1983 Disney movie Something Wicked This Way Comes based on the 1962 novel by Ray Bradbury. Out of the eight Season of South Park, this one wasn't my fave, but this special it's about what I like, it's about South Park's spookiest episodes.
Now it is an episode that scared me a little, is the eleventh episode of Season Nine, "Ginger Kids". Cartman suffers from a mysterious and sudden onset of Gingervitus. Sick and tired of being ridiculed for his red hair, light skin and freckles, he rallies all the ginger kids everywhere to fight against discrimination and rise up and become the master race they are intended to be. Just so creepy that with the fact that they are very simaler to the kids from the village of the damned combined with Nazi-esque thoughts, we could have to deal with this in real life. Gingers are creepy and need to stay ware they belong.... Hell.... wait no, I've got a vacation spot their.... Gingers don't go their. But the end of this episode when Kyle tells Cartman the truth, is vary funny.
Next is "Hell on Earth 2006", the eleventh episode of Season Ten. Satan is throwing the biggest Halloween costume party ever and no one will be admitted without a wristband. Satan is busy checking the R.S.V.P. list and deciding what costume to wear to the big event. Every detail must be perfect for the prince of darkness. But even Satan can't foresee everything. Meanwhile, Butters summons Biggie Smalls. I enjoy the relationship between Butters and Biggie and the Diddy gag. Still don't understand the Cathlics wanting into the party though.
The final episode is "Night of the Living Homeless", the seventh episode of Season Eleven. An increasing amount of Homeless people in South Park worries it's residents, and the boys decide to solve the problem on their own. It parodies various zombie movies, in particular George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (including its remake), Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead, plus Return of the Living Dead (the homeless repeatedly call "change" instead of "brains"). The gag that Kyle likes homeless skateboard jumping when he doesn't is my favorite gag in this episode, mainly because I do it to people all the time. I vary much enjoyed the modified version of 2Pac and Dr. Dre's "California Love".
It has been awhile since I've seen these episodes and it's nice to go back and look at some of my favorite. Well their you go.
