Ep 12. A Nightmare on Face Time

In South Park season 16 episode 12, titled "A Nightmare on Face Time," the residents of South Park are gearing up for Halloween, and the boys decide to throw a party at Stan's house. However, when Randy Marsh opens a new store called "Blockbuster" in the old video store space, the boys' plans are thrown into disarray.

A huge crowd gathers outside Randy's store, eager to be the first to rent a movie from the new Blockbuster. Meanwhile, Randy is struggling to keep the store open and turn a profit, and he becomes increasingly desperate and paranoid as the day wears on.

As the party begins at Stan's house, the boys realize that no one has shown up, and they suspect that everyone is at Blockbuster instead. Determined to save their party, they come up with a plan to get people to come to the house instead of the store.

Meanwhile, Randy's behavior becomes more erratic, and he starts to see ghosts and other terrifying things lurking in the store. He becomes convinced that the store is cursed, and when a group of teenagers come in to rent a scary movie, Randy is convinced that they're the ghosts of the previous owners coming to haunt him.

Back at the party, the boys' plan seems to be working, and people begin to show up. However, as the night wears on, things start to spiral out of control. Kenny indulges in some delicious but potentially deadly candy, and the boys are forced to take him to the hospital. Meanwhile, Randy's paranoia reaches a fever pitch, and he decides to close the store early.

As the night draws to a close, the boys realize that their party was a bust, and they're disappointed that they couldn't compete with the allure of a new Blockbuster store. However, they also realize that they still managed to have fun together, and that's all that really matters.
