Strobe Light Warning!

Episode is fine, but my god this one needs a strobe light warning. Literally made me ill. If you're sensitive, as well, maybe skip this one.

Extremely funny!

One of the funniest episodes ever! When ghost pirates make an appearance before the Halloween bash, it is up to the gang (along with Cartman's "Christmas present" the Antonio Banderas Love Doll) to solve the mystery and to help them is the band, Korn.

This is such a funny episode, a basic parody of Scooby Doo with Korn being "groovy" (with even a Velma moment). The "I Spy" bit is a laugh "a twee!"

Who are these ghost pirates?

Or are they pirate ghosts?

Will the mystery ever be solved?

Who will win the fancy dress competition?

And, most importantly, will the gang be able to scare the fourth graders?

This is a small fact: Korn perform "Falling Away from Me" on this episode. This moment has been noted for the song's premiere on US TV.

Korn as the Scooby Doo gang!

Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery is another Halloween episode of South Park.After this, there would not be a Halloween episode until season 10's "Hell On Earth 2006".It's a really funny and good Halloween episode, but I think the Halloween episodes tend to be better than the others.This episode spoofs Scooby Doo and has Korn coming to South Park to preform in a Halloween festival.However, some evil ghost pirates come and scare them, so It's up to Korn and the South Park kids to solve the mystery.Meanwhile, the boys want to scare the older children for scaring them beforehand, so they dig up Kyle's dead grandmother and leave her to hide.However she gets stolen by a dog but the watchmen think somebody has dug up her dead body and done necrophilia-related things to it.This is a great Halloween episode!
