In Yu-Gi-Oh can call of the haunted be activated in response to mystical space typhoon special summon a monster and have that activate its effect?

You can't activate "Call of the Haunted" in response to "Mystical Space Typhoon" special summoning a monster. Here's why:

* "Mystical Space Typhoon" is a Spell Card: Spell Cards resolve immediately, meaning they happen in a single moment.

* "Call of the Haunted" is a Trap Card: Trap Cards activate in response to an opponent's action.

* Timing: You cannot activate a Trap Card in response to the resolution of a Spell Card. Since "Mystical Space Typhoon" resolves before any potential effects of the monster it special summons, there's no window for "Call of the Haunted" to activate.

In short: "Call of the Haunted" can only be activated in response to a monster being Special Summoned on the field, but not in response to the Spell Card that caused the special summon.
