Here is the HorrorHound write up we did on the new episode on our website. Enjoy and there are some spoilers so beware!!<img src=\"http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a320/iam666/southpark.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> Wednesday night, South Park (now in its 11th season) seems to haveoutdone themselves this time, with a complete zombie-spoof episodeentitled Night of the Living Homeless. This episode could even standon the level of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Shaun of the Dead, ifgiven a theatrical release. The story featured a grouping of homelessinvading the small town of South Park, hilariously chanting for change(in Return of the Living Dead "brains!" fashion). The young boys(Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny) try to discover what is responsiblefor the ever-growing invasion (and destruction) of their town, whiletheir parents and townfolk remain trapped on a community center roof(ala Dawn of the Dead). A series of jokes even play on the idea thatresidents of South Park succumb to becoming homeless themselves, oneinstance even involves the 'exploding head from a shotgun' seen in theoriginal Dawn. We also see news coverage which ends with homelessinvasion leading to 'Stand By' (ala: Night) and a scientist's labwhich features a study on the homeless, complete with dissected bodyand a Bub-like homeless man chained to a wall (ala Day of the Dead).The boys eventually help save the day by customizing a van, similarlyseen in the Dawn of the Dead remake, and finishing out an episode thatis simply one of the best horror comedy spoofs to penetrate ourtelevisions. Considering South Park creator's Matt Stone and TreyParker's love for horror spoofs (seen in past episodes, they jokinglymocked Poltergeist, Jaws, Pet Semetary and The Thing), this isdefinitely the best produced to date, and we can only hope more horrorlove becomes standard South Park tradition. For those of you whowitnessed the episode, then you will understand why we just had tospread the word - but if you hadn't seen it yet, check out the rerunsairing all this weekend, and sorry about some of the above spoilers!!!Matt and Trey - if you are reading this, please don't chaaaange!!!! <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
