Episode Chronology
Story
Description
Kenny is killed by the falling Mir space station while waiting at the bus stop with Stan, Kyle and Cartman. The boys quickly shake off the incident and debate who has the most ass-kicking Halloween costume. Kenny's body is trucked off to the morgue, where his embalming fluid is contaminated with Worcestershire sauce. This causes him to reanimate, as a flesh-eating zombie. He escapes, mauls the mortician and his assistant, and heads into town.
Next day the boys are back at the bus stop, each wearing a costume. Kyle is dressed as Chewbacca and Stan (because his girlfriend Wendy told him she was coming as Raggedy Anne) is dressed as Raggedy Andy. Cartman wears a Hitler costume. As Kyle tries to understand what possessed his friends to make such poor choices, zombie Kenny staggers up and joins them.
At school, nearly everyone is dressed in identical Chewbacca outfits. Even Wendy. When Stan asks what happened to their Raggedy Anne/Raggedy Andy pact, she says, "I guess I just realized how stupid we would look."
That evening's trick-or-treating doesn't go well, because Kenny attacks everyone who answers their door. They visit Chef's house, who greets them with a chainsaw in each hand. He's aware of the zombie invasion and leads Stan, Kyle and Cartman to the mortuary to try to find out what happened. They're attacked by a mob of undead and Chef, bitten, joins their ranks. The boys flee into the night.
Kyle manages to find a pay phone and call the Worcestershire help line while Stan and Cartman, in a bloody chainsaw fight, hold off the zombies. He's informed that once the original zombie is neutralized, everyone else will revert to normal.
Stan encounters a zombified Wendy and can't bring himself to kill her. Just then, Kyle appears and cuts Kenny (the original zombie) in half. Suddenly everyone (that is, everyone the boys haven't slaughtered) returns to life.
What I Learned Today
"Halloween isn't about costumes or candy. It's about being good to one another and giving and loving." Kyle states that his friend is thinking about Christmas, and that Halloween really is just about costumes and candy.

Where Did The Idea Come From
The episode is a salute to the flesh-eating zombie movie genre, but mostly to the 1985 flick The Return of the Living Dead
Pop Culture References
Shout Outs
When Chef gets bitten, he immediately breaks into the song "I'm Gonna Make Love, Even When I'm Dead". The song, as well as the accompanying dance number with the zombies, is a takeoff on Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
Mr. Garrison is dressed as Marilyn Monroe (in her iconic white dress) for Halloween. This is not the last time that he will wear a dress. Chef is dressed as Evil Knievel, the legendary stunt man.After Principal Victoria makes Cartman change his Hitler costume into a "ghost" costume, he looks like a member of the Ku Klux Klan. In "Here Comes The Neighborhood", townspeople also dress up like "ghosts" in order to scare the rich African American people out of town.
Pwn'd
Author Jackie Collins, whom Mr. Garrison discusses in class on Halloween eve because she's a "great horror writer." Also, Tina Yothers from Family Ties judges the school's costume contest.
Kyle responds by saying, "Dude, I thought she was dead." Finally, during the costume contest the horrifically decomposing Kenny wins second place for what Yothers mistakes to be an Edward James Olmos costume.
Bonus Factoids
Pointless Observations
A poster of Isaac Hayes is seen hanging in Chef's house.
The theme song, as well as opening animation, was totally redone for this Halloween-themed episode. Also, in a reference to The Shining, the school bus in these credits has "Redrum" (murder, backwards) scrawled on it. This is the only time the theme song has been altered for just one episode.
Uncle Jimbo and Ned can been seen on the rooftop of South Park Avenue with guns, shooting zombies.
Cartman's mom actually IS on the cover of Crack Whore Magazine, with the subtitle reading "Back do' ho Five on one action!"
Cartman isn't finished dressing up like Hitler. He does it again in The Passion of the Jew
