Get ready for a Halloween episode of South Park that’s as bold as it is bizarre—because when the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, decide to tackle politics, memes, and the supernatural, you know it’s going to be a wild ride. But here’s where it gets controversial: in Season 28’s The Woman in the Hat, the boys of South Park aren’t just fighting ghosts—they’re battling the very essence of what’s made their town feel off lately. Stan bluntly declares it’s ‘all this political shit’ that’s ruining everything, and even Kenny’s near-silence this season doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s a meta moment that feels like a direct nod to fans who’ve been craving the old South Park vibe. And this is the part most people miss: the boys’ solution? A South Park Sucks Now campaign, complete with a meme coin scheme orchestrated by Kyle’s Cousin Kyle. Yes, you read that right—a meme coin. Because in 2025, what else would a group of frustrated kids do to reclaim their town? (Fun fact: Southparksucksnow.com redirects to the official South Park site, but there’s an unofficial Reddit community at /r/southparksucksnow if you’re curious.)
Meanwhile, over at the White House, things are equally chaotic. Here’s the bold part: Satan isn’t mad at Trump for demolishing the East Wing—he’s just disappointed Trump didn’t do it to build a nursery for their impending baby. Yes, Satan and Trump have a baby. Let that sink in. But the real horror? Trump’s haunted by a Melania-shaped specter, unleashed by the demolition, which leads to a Halloween séance featuring a cast of characters so absurd it’s perfect. Think Stephen Miller channeling Renfield, a mummified FCC chairman Brendan Carr who’s ‘lost his freedom of speech,’ and Kristi Noem’s face literally melting off. Oh, and Pam Bondi’s nose keeps getting covered in… well, let’s just say it’s not ectoplasm. It’s Trump’s crap. Because South Park.
The séance almost exposes JD Vance and Peter Thiel’s plot to kill Trump and Satan’s baby—a sentence I never thought I’d write—and Cousin Kyle, who’s there to pitch a crypto deal to Don Jr., ends up taking the fall. By the end, the boys decide to make the best of their situation, but unresolved storylines like Satan’s pregnancy and Cartman’s abduction by Peter Thiel leave us with plenty to ponder. And while this might not be the scariest Halloween episode, the image of Kristi Noem’s face crawling around on its own? That’s staying with me.
Now, here’s the question: Is South Park still as sharp as ever, or has it jumped the shark with meme coins and Trump-Satan babies? Let’s debate it in the comments. And if you missed this episode, catch The Woman in the Hat streaming on Paramount+ starting November 1st.
