The special episode is titled “The Woman in the Hat,” and its "release marks an event designed to coincide with Halloween’s spirit of unsettling fun and satire," the site wrote.
The ongoing thread this season is a relationship between cartoon President Donald Trump and Satan, who has become impregnated with Trump's baby while staying in the White House. Satan very much wants to keep the baby, while Trump does not.
The Halloween special will involve Trump's real-life plan to tear down the East Wing of the White House to build his ballroom.
The show will feature Trump working with Satan on the project and overseeing the demolition, wearing hard hats. Satan has a cream and brown Coach handbag casually thrown over his shoulder.
"Further heightening the episode’s tension is a ghostly presence haunting the White House’s East Wing amid this chaos, underlining the supernatural with political satire," the report said. "The inclusion of figures such as Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller adds layers of sharp commentary on recent political figures and controversies."
Satirical depictions of Noem in the show have primarily centered on her face melting and her penchant for shooting of dogs.
The report claimed, "South Park’s decision to air this special episode on Halloween night rather than the usual Wednesday is a strategic move to capture attention during a high viewership window associated with festive, spooky programming. This shift highlights the significance Comedy Central places on the episode’s potential cultural impact."
