"Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" is the twelfth episode of the of Comedy Central's animated series "South Park". It originally aired on October 27, 1999.

Plot

In this episode, the radio station KOZY 102.1 is sponsoring a "Halloween Haunt". The children are excited about Halloween, except for Cartman who begins to celebrate the fact that it is only two months to Christmas. The fifth graders soon play a prank on them. Stan decides to prank them back to retaliate. To get back at the fifth graders, the children decide to dig up Kyle's dead grandmother, Cleo Broflovski, much to his dismay.

Meanwhile, Korn are driving in their "Mystery Machine". As Jonathan leads a game of I spy, the bus crashes when the band spots "Pirate Ghosts" on the road. After digging up Kyle's Grandmother's corpse, the boys leave it at the harbor, where the corpse is promptly eaten by a stray dog. At the docks, the children meet Korn, who have been wandering around. Soon, Priest Maxi appears and condemns the band for appearing in town. The following morning, the grave watchers appear at Mrs. Broflovski's house and report the news that Grandma Cleo's body is missing. The grave watchers then presume that her corpse has been stolen by a necrophiliac.

Cartman receives a lifesized blow-up Antonio Banderas Love Doll. Even though it is his mother's, he believes it is his early Christmas present and subsequently elated, he goes to town with it all blown up. The children return to the docks in their costumes hoping to win the contest for best costume, with Kenny wearing an ED-209 robot costume. To Kenny's disappointment, everyone is able to clearly recognize him. They find that the corpse is missing and go to Korn with their findings. Korn "infers" that the missing body is connected to the appearance of the Pirate Ghosts. At the town square, the grave watchers are explaining the concept of necrophilia very explicitly until the Pirate Ghosts show up and terrorize the town. A few citizens are blown up and one ghost decapitates two others, making it seem that Priest Maxi was right about the holiday being "Satanic".

Korn and the children go investigate the "Mystery of the Pirate Ghosts and the missing body." After a few mishaps, it is revealed that Priest Maxi was involved with the Pirate Ghosts. The mystery of Cleo Broflovski's missing corpse is solved when the dog regurgitates the body, whole. The Halloween Haunt goes as planned, with Korn playing "Falling Away from Me", a big contrast to their cheery personality in the episode. The boys get their revenge against the 5th graders while Korn is playing, scaring them with the corpse. Unfortunately, Kenny's ED-209 costume doesn't win him first prize in the best Halloween Costume Competition, and he ends up getting killed during the closing credits.
