Trump Faces Apparition in Halloween Episode

by jummy84 November 1, 2025

written by jummy84

In the latest entry into the sporadic but pretty great South Park Halloween episode canon, creators and showrunners did not present a traditional Halloween episode centered around the holiday, but a biting and spooky satire of the Trump administration and suggests some otherworldly repercussions for the very real demolition of the White House’s East Wing.

The situation for Stan Marsh and his family is getting grim: the four have been living in a motel since Tegredy Farms went kaput earlier in the season, and now they will be moving in with a very unwilling Grandpa Marsh in his assisted living home. Stan is not pleased and is looking for a way out of there, like now.

In Washington, D.C., we find lovebirds President Trump and Satan gazing on as the East Wing of the White House is bulldozed and destroyed. But Satan, it seems was misinformed by his beau and thinks the construction is for a nursery for their little bundle of Antichrist, who, looking at the size of Satan’s bump, will arrive soon. Putting their domestic argument aside, they are off to the Oval Office to attend a security briefing.

In the meeting, they learn that someone might be trying to stop the baby from being born — and three characters are, in fact, doing that exact thing: Peter Thiel, who is hellbent on stopping the Antichrist; Vice President J.D. Vance, who wants a happy Trump for his nefarious career ladder climb; and Trump in the Oval Office meeting. United States Attorney General Pam Bondi is told she has human shit literally on her nose as she lays on the brown nosing to Trump, assuring him that there is no way this will happen to the greatest president of all time.

But the bombshell comes when it’s revealed that by demolishing the East Wing of the White House, the Trump administration has unleashed some sort of vengeful supernatural wrath. The president explains that he’s been noticing a creeping feeling and seeing what looks like a woman in a hat appearing in the mirror and the hallway.

Back at South Park Elementary, Stan is at his wits’ end after spending too much time in the facility with his family. After grousing about it with the boys, he then breaks the fourth wall in what turns into a biting satire on the crypto space and ushers in the return of Kyle’s relative, the nerdy and wheezing Cousin Kyle Schwartz as the crypto scam’s money man. Let’s let Stan explain phase one of his scheme.

“How many weeks has it been now, dealing with one stupid thing after another?” Stan says to the show’s audience (and is talking about the show here, in case you don’t catch on). “The truth is, I think a lot of people are afraid to admit it. Yeah, everyone knows South Park sucks now and it’s because all this political stuff is being totally bogged down in it. Remember when we used to do stuff, ever since all this political crap took over.”

He’s maybe right. Here’s more.

At 1600, the president continues to see something appearing in the mirror and the hallway of the White House. Viewers then get to see the South Park rendering of Trump in the shower, micropenis on full display. As he towels himself off, what appears to be a woman with a hat is again in the room. But who is she and what does she want?

To expose the truth, it seems. After a grotesque rendering of Trump advisor Stephen Miller allows Cousin Kyle into the White House for a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. to do some cryptoscamming, or “take a big dump” on investors — something Trump the younger says he loves through an unending grin — the entire Trump administration, or at least the ones we’ve seen depicted on the show over this and last season, are conducting a seance led by an even more shit-nosed Bondi.

Bondi (with the shit now all over her face), is leading the seance and quickly becomes a conduit for whatever the spirit or entity haunting Trump’s White House wants to say. It has something to do with “lies,” which are being told by a man. Bondi, speaking for the apparition, mumbles something about “Epstein” — which Trump quickly shouts down. “He lies… corruption… lies…” Bondi garbles, speaking for the ghost.

Suddenly, Cousin Kyle breaks down as he runs out of the room. He can’t take it anymore, the apparition is right, crypto is a scam, and he’s ashamed of what he’s been doing. It allows the rich to launder money and get richer, he confesses while sobbing. Trump and his gang of administrators remain silent as the episode closes and it’s back to the status quo… at least for now.

Alls well that ends well this Halloween episode, which didn’t have any real Halloween included. Except for Stan, who is tragically is back at the assisted living facility at episode’s end.

Watch Måneskin’s Victoria De Angelis join Duran Duran for ‘Psycho Killer’ at Halloween Manchester show

by jummy84 November 1, 2025

written by jummy84

Duran Duran brought out Måneskin‘s Victoria De Angelis for a rendition of ‘Psycho Killer’ at their Halloween show in Manchester – check out clips of the moment below.

READ MORE: Duran Duran: “We’d love to do Glastonbury – we just need the right slot”

Last night (October 31) marked the first time the ‘80s pop icons have held their annual Halloween show in the UK. The tradition began back in 2022 after the band played an exclusive one-off show at the Wynn Theatre in Las Vegas. Taking place on Halloween, the gig saw Simon Le Bon and co. break out huge hits and rarities with a darker theme than usual.

That gig would later become immortalised with the release of their 16th album ‘Danse Macabre’ – a record that pieced together new music, darkly reimagined versions of Duran Duran’s classic songs, and covers of Billie Eilish and Talking Heads.

Since then, the one-off Halloween shows have continued each year, with fans encouraged to come dressed in Halloween attire, as was the case at the Co-op Live venue in Manchester last night.

The gig saw them joined by bassist De Angelis, who dressed as an angel, for Talking Heads’ 1977 classic ‘Psycho Killer’, which follows her playing it on ‘Danse Macabre’ alongside former Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor on guitar.

When they first teamed up for the cover, the band’s John Taylor said De Angelis was “probably the most important electric bassist out there right now”.

He continued: “I met a couple of the guys from Måneskin at a party and they said, ‘you’ve got to meet our bass player.’ She’s such a dynamo! I was like ‘what inspired you?’ and Vic said, ‘Tina Weymouth’. So when Psycho Killer made the cut for the album, I thought, ‘I’m gonna ask her if she’d like to have a bass-off!’”

De Angelis said being asked to feature on the album was “such a wild honour”, adding: “I met John at a party, and we immediately bonded talking about music and bass. I told him Tina Weymouth was my absolute pinnacle of cool, attitude and incredible musicianship all rolled into one, and he told me he also started playing bass inspired by her and she was one of his music idols.”

News of last night’s Halloween gig came shortly after Duran Duran had announced two huge shows in Ireland at the start of the year, which will be held in the next couple of weeks and see Nile Rodgers and Chic open. Afterwards, they will play two UK shows, one in Exeter and one in Chelmsford.

Around the time that the ‘Danse Macabre’ album was announced, the band spoke to NME about how they would love to play at Glastonbury – something they have surprisingly not yet done. “I’d love to [do it] – we just need to get the right slot, that’s all,” Le Bon said.

“We have had the chance to do it before, but it wasn’t playing the main stage and I think we’d like to be doing that for sure. I’m sure we’re in negotiations [with Glastonbury], and if not, we will be.”

As for De Angelis, last year, she announced a new solo project that saw her trade in her signature rock sound for DJ decks and something much more dance club ready with the release of debut track ‘GET UP BITCH! (Shake Ya Ass)’ – a high-energy dance song that fuses bouncy techno with baile funk and features Anitta.

Speaking about the collaboration, De Angelis told NME that her love of “baile funk and Brazilian Latin club music” offered “the perfect combination of all the sounds I like combined with hard techno”.

Julia Fox dresses as blood-stained Jacqueline Kennedy for Halloween

Julia Fox dressed as a blood-stained Jacqueline Kennedy for Halloween.

Julia Fox dressed as a blood-stained Jacqueline Kennedy for Halloween

The 35-year-old actress and model attended The Cursed Amulet’s Halloween party wearing a costume inspired by the iconic pink suit worn by the former First Lady on 22 November 1963 – the day her husband was shot and killed while riding in a motorcade.

Julia wore a pink suit and matching pillbox hat, mirroring Jackie’s double-breasted wool ensemble.

She paired the look with white gloves, a short black wig, and a black handbag.

The outfit appeared splattered with fake blood.

The Uncut Gems star later shared images of her costume on her Instagram Stories.

Jackie’s original pink suit became one of the most recognisable images of the tragic day JFK was gunned down.

According to The New York Times, her suit, shoes, handbag and stockings were “blood-covered and folded in a towel” after the shooting.

The blood-stained items were never cleaned and remain preserved at the National Archives and Records Administration facility in Maryland.

The Los Angeles Times reported Jackie’s maid, Providencia Paredes, placed the outfit in a bag and sent it to the archives sometime before July 1964.

In the hours after the assassination, Jackie was photographed wearing the same suit while standing beside Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson as he was sworn in as president aboard Air Force One.

Historian Steve Gillon told People magazine in November 2022: “They actually had another dress laid out for her to put on and she refused. She went out in her blood-stained suit and stood next to Lyndon Johnson.

“Despite these horrible circumstances, she was willing to stand for a photo because she understood what it meant for the nation to have continuity in government. She understood that she had a role to play in helping the nation transition to a new president.”

Jackie had worn the two-piece suit on at least six previous occasions before her husband’s assassination, according to The New York Times.

The suit itself was a Chanel-approved copy made by the New York fashion house Chez Ninon.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, who was 46, remains one of the most defining events of the 20th century.

In her diary, Lady Bird Johnson – the wife of Lyndon B. Johnson – described the moment she saw Jackie cradling her husband’s body in the motorcade.

She wrote: “As we ground to a halt – we were still the third car… I cast one last look over my shoulder and saw in the President’s car a bundle of pink, just like a drift of blossoms, lying in the back seat. It was Mrs. Kennedy lying over the President’s body.

“Mrs. Kennedy’s dress was stained with blood.

“One leg was almost entirely covered with it and her right glove was caked, it was caked with blood — her husband’s blood.”

Julia’s Halloween costume came just weeks before the 62nd anniversary of Kennedy’s death and has seen her face a huge backlash online over the outfit choice.

One of her many critics said online: “So tasteless. Tragedy is not a costume.”

South Park Season 28 Halloween Episode: Trump Gets Haunted

by jummy84 November 1, 2025

written by jummy84

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for South Park, Season 28 Episode 2, “The Woman In The Hat.”]

In a special Halloween episode of South Park, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone took a moment to acknowledge the haters, as the boys complain that South Park (the town, of course) sucks now, Stan going so far as to say it’s “because of all this political shit.” They even point out that Kenny’s been largely absent from the latest season: “I haven’t even heard you say anything in like four months,” one of them says, which Kenny acknowledges in his usual muffled way.

To reclaim their town, they launch a South Park Sucks Now campaign to create a community for those who want change. (Southparksucksnow.com, at time of writing, just redirects to the official South Park website. There is also now an unofficial /r/southparksucksnow on Reddit.) However, SPSN actually ends up being a meme coin scheme launched with the help of Kyle’s Cousin Kyle. Stan in particular is desperate to make some money, as his family’s now had to move into his grandfather’s nursing home following the loss of Tegrity Farms.

‘South Park’ Admits “South Park Sucks Now” In Halloween Episode

Two episodes into its sudden Season 28, South Park is poking fun at itself following criticism of its very political 27th season.

In Friday’s special Halloween episode ‘The Woman in the Hat’, Stan admits that “South Park sucks now” after his dad loses his job at the USGS amid the government shutdown, forcing them to move into his grandfather’s retirement home.

“Everyone knows it. South Park sucks now, and it’s because of all this political shit,” he says in a tongue-in-cheek nod to the Comedy Central show’s controversial Season 27 return.

In attempt to make South Park better, the kids create a “South Park Sucks Now” crypto meme, which Stan hopes gets them out of the retirement home.

The episode culminates in a seance at the White House, overseen by Pam Bondi, who constantly has poop on her nose, and is attended by Brendan Carr and Kristi Noem. They assemble after Donald Trump is being haunted by Melania, who lurks in corners under her hat.

Donald Trump is haunted by Melania in ‘South Park’.

According to Stephen Miller, ghost Melania was unleashed with the “vengeful wrath” that came from tearing down the White House’s East Wing. Meanwhile, Ed and Lorraine Warren are summoned to investigate the phenomena.

The episode ends with Kyle’s cousin Kyle being arrested at the seance, where he tries to get Don Jr.’s approval to sell the crypto, admitting publicly that it’s all a scam.

How Did Heidi Klum Become Medusa for Halloween? (Hint: It Took Six Months)

by jummy84 November 1, 2025

written by jummy84

Happy Halloween! It’s not officially All Hallows’ Eve until Heidi Klum unveils her costume, and tonight, the supermodel debuted her highly anticipated look in New York City. Drumroll, please: For her 24th annual Heidiween party, Klum slithered onto the Hard Rock Hotel red carpet dressed as… Medusa! “I look forward to Halloween all year,” Klum told Vogue shortly before arriving at the event. “I have been doing this for 24 years, and hope I can do it forever. Every year, I get more inspired and more enthusiastic. It is just a perfect day to be silly, dress up, dance with friends, be creative, and eat candy!”

Year after year, Klum keeps fans guessing as to what she’ll dress up as: She has arrived as Jessica Rabbitt, a peacock, E.T., and a notoriously-creepy worm. This year, she switched things up yet again, and was inspired to reinterpret a mythological Greek figure. “I wanted to explore the classic monsters of history, and reimagine one in a modern way,” says Klum. “Medusa stood out to me as truly iconic—mysterious yet ferocious. The legend of her turning humans to stone has fascinated audiences for centuries. In museums, countless paintings and sculptures depict her haunting power, a testament to how terrifying and compelling she remains.”

The hand-painted costume—which required nine hours in the makeup chair—features extraordinary details, like moving mechanical snakes placed atop Klum’s head. “I love that all of the snakes move independently—they look so real,” says Klum. “I also have a custom split snake tongue that is just next level. I love a challenge, so I am always striving to outdo myself from the years before.”

This year’s Bollywood Halloween was nothing short of spectacular, with social media influencer Orry sharing a highly anticipated video capturing the festivities in Mumbai.

Following him, Nita Ambani stunned everyone by channelling Audrey Hepburn’s iconic look from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, sporting a black off-shoulder dress, a diamond tiara, and classic bangs, resembling the late Hollywood legend.

Alia Bhatt embraced her adventurous side as Lara Croft, donning a black t-shirt, shorts, and a braid. Deepika Padukone wowed in her Lady Singham costume, bringing her character to life for the special night. Ranveer Singh made a bold entrance as Deadpool, although Orry humorously mistook him for Spider-Man. Meanwhile, Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta transformed into Gomez and Morticia Addams from The Addams Family. Even Aryan Khan, usually more reserved, made an appearance dressed as Jake Gyllenhaal’s character from Brokeback Mountain.
In his caption, Orry asked his followers to choose the best-dressed. Several celebrities and fans chimed in, with Ananya Panday and Khushi Kapoor both voting for Nita Ambani, calling her “Nita aunty,” while Janhvi Kapoor praised her, saying, “Nita aunty committed.”
What Is Halloween And Who Celebrates It?

Happy Halloween – here’s Lankum’s haunting cover of The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town’

by jummy84 November 1, 2025

written by jummy84

Lankum have shared a haunting, creepy cover of The Specials’ 1981 classic ‘Ghost Town’ – check it out below.

The track will be released as a standalone 12” single via Rough Trade Records on January 30, with an elaborate etching on the B-side. You can pre-order your single here.

The Dublin experimental folk band originally covered the song as a contribution to Oona Doherty’s dance show ‘Specky Clark’ at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre earlier this year, and they have now unveiled a video for the eight-minute track, shot in County Wicklow and directed by Leonn Ward.

The single stays true to Lankum’s signature ‘folk drone’ style initially, with a crawling, insidious pace and discordant strings lending extra menace to the song’s legendary anti-Thatcherite lyrics, before it erupts into a cacophonous, electronic climax. Watch the video here:

Lankum have said: “’Ghost Town’ came to us through some curious circumstances. Oona Doherty, who we were familiar with through her phenomenal dance work on the video for Gilla Band’s ‘Shoulderblades’, contacted us and told us about a new show she was putting together. It was about her great-great-grandfather being sent to Belfast as a child to live with his aunts and work in an abattoir. She wanted a new piece of music for the show, for a party scene set on Halloween night, and told us she wanted it to start out indistinguishable and woozy, before developing into the very recognisable track by The Specials.”

“At first we were slightly reticent, since a cover of a ska tune wasn’t something we’d usually ever consider, but after a bit of deliberation we decided we’d give it a shot, and the result took us on an incredibly enjoyable journey that had us gleefully playing with synthesisers and drum machines in Hellfire Studios, trying to come up with the scaldiest 90s sounding techno for the outro section of the track.”

“We’re very excited with the end product and delighted that Oona approached us and challenged us to step out of our comfort zone. It’s an honour to be releasing a version of this iconic tune, and it feels eerily relevant to be referencing yet again themes of urban decay, economic hardship and working class frustration. Enjoy responsibly.”

Doherty added: “I was listening to Lankum and it inspired me to write this dance theatre play called ‘Specky Clark’ using a lot of their music. But for one scene which happens on Halloween night Samhain, I asked the band could they make me a cover of ‘Ghost Town’ by The Specials. And they bloody did. ‘All the clubs have been closed down’. I think this line still hits hard all these years later and in a dub accent speaks to housing crises, the poverty, the privatization of Ireland. They also managed to make the track rip through this physical plane of existence and dance in the other world…. only Lankum can do that.”

Lankum released their fourth studio album ‘False Lankum’ in 2023, picking up Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello nominations. Guitarist Daragh Lynch told NME last year that the album’s success had been “very unexpected”, adding: “We spent the last four albums just really dedicating ourselves to what we want to do. We thought the last album was one of the weirdest and most inaccessible that we’ve done so far, but for some reason it’s the one that everyone picked up on. Maybe we just need to get weirder and weirder!”
