Volume 4 of South Park on home video couples 1997's Halloween special, "Pinkeye," with the Omen-parody, "Damien." In "Pinkeye," the town finds itself in the midst of an epidemic of zombie-ism spawned by the mix of embalming fluid and Worcestershire sauce in the cadaver of the bundled, mumbling Kenny--who, for a change, dies at the beginning of the show. Outside of being one of the more particularly gruesome and gory South Parks, this episode is packed with all of the satire and dark societal humor typical of creators Parker and Stone. Highlights include Cartman's Hitler and subsequent KKK costume and Chef's zombie dance à la Michael Jackson's "Thriller" choreography.

"Damien" has the makings of a classic both for its boxing match between Jesus (of the public access, call-in show Jesus and Pals) and the 350-pound red Beezelbub and for the twistedly excessive celebration of Cartman's birthday. Viewers will find some of the funniest Cartman lines here. He basks in the attention his birthday brings by assigning out gifts to party invitees and stuffing himself with pie, cake, and ice cream, provided by the eerily pleasant Mrs. Cartman, of course. A great pairing of great episodes. One note: even though South Park is animated, it's not for children. --Karen Karleski

5.0 out of 5 stars A great satire, don't miss it!, November 10, 1999

By	Tom Krueger ([e-mail]) (Pine, CO) - See all my reviews

The video begins with Pink Eye. A kind-of "Night of the Living Dead" spoof. Very, very funny. The next is "Damien" a take-off of "The Omen". In it Satan's son comes to elementary school, and Jesus must fight Satan for supremacy of the world. The ending was fantastic!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sickeningly gross - fab!, June 7, 1999

By	Sarah (e-mail=[e-mail]) (West Mids,England) - See all my reviews

These episodes are great,but Damien isn`t as good as Pink Eye. Pink Eye involves Kenny dieing (no surprise there then) and Worcestershire sauce is accidently put into his embalming fluid,turning him into a zombie! He then goes around turning the whole town into zombies,including Chef,which results in Chef doing a hilarious impersonation of Micheal Jacksons Thriller! Damien envolves Satans son attending South Park Elementary and ends up in Jesus and Satan having a fight,that the whole town places bets on.It could only happen in South Park....

4.0 out of 5 stars goofy and funny, April 4, 1999

By A Customer

these are two excellent episodes, one staring that foul mouthed racist cartman as Hitler and the Sieg Heils, plus with his naive "Minnesota Nice" prinicpal, was an excellent laugh for Halloween. THe Jesus and Pals episode resembled Colorado Springs tv and was very good with Counselor Mackey trying to tell Damien to fit in. Cartman's party was excellent. If you have ever been to the Denver metro area, pick this up, you'll laugh.
