Summary

The episode began with a space station falling from the sky and landed on Kenny which killed him instantly. His corpse is brought to the morgue. He awakened as a zombie when he came into contact with Worcestershire sauce and the embalming fluid. He went around biting people. It was Halloween so the students at South Park Elementary dress up for the costume contest. Eric dressed up as Hitler which offends Kyle and received a lecture from Chef and the principal. The principal made him an alternate costume as a ghost but he resembled as a member from the Ku Klux Klan terrorist group. The bitten victims went to the doctor but were told they had the pinkeye infection and were given the wrong treatment. They eventually turned into zombies and bit others nearby. This caused an outbreak in South Park. Chef, Eric, Stan and Kyle visited the morgue to discover the source of the outbreak, saw the warning on the sauce and contacted the emergency hotline number. While defending off the zombie, Chef got bitten. The children were told by the hotline staff they needed to kill the original zombie to reverse the outbreak. Kyle killed Kenny with a chainsaw therefore the citizens of South Park returned to their normal state.

Humour

Eric’s outfits as Hitler and a Ku Klux Klan member represented black humour because Hitler tried to exterminate the Jews and the Ku Klux Klan used violence and killed African Americans. Hence Kyle, Chef and the principal did not approve of his Halloween costume.
