Korn's Great Pirate Ghost Mystery

The KOZY 102.1 South Park radio station sponsors the Halloween Haunt concert, which Korn is due to attend, which is actively opposed by Maxi's father . Children are looking forward to Halloween , with the exception of Cartman - he is more pleased with the fact that only two months are left before Christmas . Fifth -graders play out on the promenade of Cartman, Stan , Kyle and Kenny ; Stan also wants to scare them with something in revenge. To get even with fifth graders, the children decide to dig out Kyle's dead grandmother, Cleo Broflovsky , from the grave.

In the meantime, Korn drive to South Park on their Mystic Wagon. While Jonathan plays the game “Guess what I see,” the group notices “Pirate Ghosts” on the road and the car crashes. In the meantime, after digging up the corpse, the boys leave it in the port, where a stray dog ​​immediately eats it (which they don’t know about). At the docks, children meet Korn musicians aimlessly milling around. Father Maxi soon appears and condemns Korn for appearing in the city. The next morning, cemetery watchmen appear at Mrs. Broflovsky’s house and report that her grandmother Cleo’s body has disappeared, after which they suggest that her corpse was stolen by a necrophile , listing many different ways of copulating with a corpse.

Cartman, instead of his mother, receives a parcel in which he finds a life-size inflatable doll in the form of Antonio Banderas with genitals. Despite the fact that the doll is obviously a sex toy , Cartman decides that this is a pre-ordered gift from his mother for Christmas, and, having inflated the doll, takes it with him to the city in high spirits. Children return to the docks in suits in the hope of winning a competition for the best suit, with Kenny wearing an ED-209 robot suit (as usual, his face is not visible, but everyone will easily recognize him). The children discover that Kyle’s grandmother’s corpse has disappeared and go to Korn for advice. They conclude that the missing body is associated with the advent of the Pirate Ghosts. In the town square, cemetery watchmen explain that the version of necrophilia is very likely, but here Pirate Ghosts appear and terrify the whole city. Several townspeople explode, and one ghost decapitates two, justifying Father Maxi's words about the evil essence of the holiday.

Korn and the children begin to investigate the "Riddle of Pirate Ghosts and the missing body." After several failures, it turns out that Maxi's father is involved in the appearance of the Pirate Ghosts; he created the illusion of their appearance with the help of elementary effects to scare everyone and make the townspeople hate the devilish holiday and the devilish band Korn. The mystery of the missing corpse Cleo Broflovski is solved when a dog in front of a crowd of city dwellers spits up a body, safe and sound. After Maxi’s father’s arrest, “Halloween Haunt” goes as planned; Korn give a concert, performing " Falling Away from Me ". The heavy, aggressive sound of the song contrasts strongly with their joyful behavior in the episode. The boys manage to take revenge on the fifth graders - while Korn perform, they scare them with Cleo’s corpse. Mr. Harrison gives the prize for Wendy's best costume; Kenny in the suit of the ED-209 robot does not receive anything and dies when he walks sadly around the city during the credits.

During the credits, when Kenny leaves the competition in his robot costume, grumbling that his wonderful costume did not win the first prize, the tiny Snowspeeder flies in and ties it with a cable, as in the film Empire strikes back . Then two more Snowspeeders arrive and finish him off, after which rats eat the corpse.
