This is a great episode and a good example of early South Park at its best. I've always loved the simpler episodes of South Park, where the story flows linearly and just makes sense (even if murdering animals don't make sense) it's just concise and good. 8.4.

Excellent episode...even beats pinkeye

The Halloween episodes of South Park seem to be better than usual! Pinkeye is a very entertaining and fun episode, but this is better! It's very funny and also a good spooky Halloween episode.Some versions of the show are even in "Spooky Vision"(pictures of Barbra Striesand appear throughout).Now that could get annoying, but try to look past it and you will love this episode! Stan's aunt flow comes to visit and she gets him a fish.Only the fish is evil and murders people.Stan's mother thinks he did it and buries all the bodies.Meanwhile Cartman grows a beard and suddenly acts "nicer".The boys are shocked at this, especially when Cartman comes back without the beard and acts like his normal self.The boys then find out that a parallel universe portal is opened and all the pets at the certain store Stan's aunt got his fish at, are evil.Stan's fish and the "nice" cartman came from the other side.The boys must now close the portal and send all the animals back.Cartman also says "hella" a lot in this episode, much to the boys anger.Spookyfish is an excellent South Park episode.

Such a great and creative Halloween episode. We get to see a parallel universe and a bunch of evil animals including a fish that kill people on the streets.
One of the best parts is evil Cartman from the parallel universe. well basically he is nice one and it is hilarious to see him as such character as well as the boys and the real Cartman dealing with him. The way it ends is a fun moment. And it was great to hear the word "hella" again as being something that annoyed the boys. I haven't heard that word in years. Kyle should be happy now.
Another great thing is showing the period as Stan's mom Aunt Flo. Pretty creative idea. With her being upset that she won't be visited again and hiding all the dead bodies. As well as her capturing the Officer and holding him captive in the basement. The moment when Randy asks her why the Officer has no pants is too funny.
