Whereas Trey Parker and Matt Stone are possible nonetheless within the means of frantically scrambling to place collectively this week’s South Park episode, we do have our first clue as to what it is going to really be about.
As some attentive followers identified on social media, the episode’s title is presently listed as “Twisted Christian” (in fact, Parker and Stone may nonetheless change the title once more on the final minute, as they’ve performed prior to now). In line with the synopsis, the present will probably be about how “Cartman is possessed and could be the key to stopping the Antichrist.”
Do not Miss
Additionally, this episode is technically the premiere of Season 28, that means that Season 27 was only a measly 5 episodes lengthy.
Presumably the Antichrist in query is Devil and Trump’s “Butt Child,” not one of many a number of different Antichrists we’ve met on South Park earlier than, similar to Devil’s first child, Damien, or the unholy monstrosity conjured in the course of the lovable “blood orgy” in “Woodland Critter Christmas.”
On condition that Cartman will probably be “possessed,” and the episode is dropping in mid-October, does that imply that “Twisted Christian” will probably be Halloween-themed?
South Park followers would possible be happy, seeing as what number of of them have already been clamoring for an additional Halloween episode this fall. The final time that the present touched on the spooky season was manner again in 2018, in Season 22’s scooter-centric Hitchcock parody “The Scoots.”
This is able to make sense contemplating that Devil, who has been on the forefront of this season/final season, was the focus of a earlier Halloween episode, Season 10’s “Hell on Earth 2006,” which was most well-known for joking about Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin mere weeks after his dying.
After all, simply because Cartman is “possessed” doesn’t essentially imply that the episode will probably be about Halloween. In spite of everything, Cartman was already possessed by a spirit after he drank Kenny’s ashes in a non-Halloween Season Six episode.
If this week’s episode does find yourself going full Halloween horror, it nonetheless in all probability gained’t have the ability to match the jump-scare that was seeing Trump’s microdick three months in the past.
