South Park Halloween Special Targets East Wing Demolition With Melania Haunting

The episode delivers pointed political satire and self-critique after recent scheduling shifts.

Overview

  • The Oct. 31 installment, titled The Woman in the Hat, aired as a holiday reschedule and is now available to stream on Paramount+.
  • The storyline riffs on the confirmed plan to raze the White House East Wing, depicting a veiled Melania as a spectral presence in the residence.
  • A seance sequence features Attorney General Pam Bondi in recurring grotesque gags with appearances by J.D. Vance, Kristi Noem and FCC commissioner Brendan Carr.
  • Stan bluntly declares, “South Park sucks now,” as the show parodies itself and introduces a "South Park Sucks" crypto-meme subplot.
  • Comedy Central says the series returns to a biweekly Wednesday cadence, with new episodes scheduled for Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10.
