The broadcasting station at Ghost Town sends out a transmission that a party is to be held at the local mansion that night. Almost everyone wants to go, so between ghosts making themselves presentable and finding transportation the town is abuzz with activity. The party goes strong with games, dance, and booze, until there's a knock on the door. It opens to let the new guests in, but one glimpse at them sends all the ghosts packing. They are the Monster of Frankenstein and his blue-skinned companion, who, despite already having their party hats on, are more amused than anything at the party's abrupt end.

The Monster and his blue-skinned companion are based on the [[FrankensteinsMonster Monster-like]] Jonathan and the [[TheIgor Igor-esque]] Einstein from ''Theatre/ArsenicAndOldLace''. As such, ''Boos in the Nite'' might be the earliest monsterification of Creator/PeterLorre, who played Einstein in the 1944 film adaptation and whom the blue-skinned creature is specifically modeled after.

%%* DirtyOldMan: Four ghosts play spin the bottle and the one it'll land on will receive a kiss from a very attractive female ghost. It lands on an elderly ghost, who couldn't be happier, giggles, and gestures for the woman to "come to pappa". The kiss makes the tip of his sheet stand up, turns his sheet red, and then he burns up.

%%* AsideComment:* AsideComment: ''Boos in the Nite'' being a Screen Song, there's a sing-along part introduced and guided by the ghost host. Also, when the monster and his blue-skinned companion have scared away the ghosts, they turn to the camera: the monster laughs and the blue-skinned creature sarcastically wonders what frightened them so.

%%* DirtyOldMan:
* DrunkenGlow: The ghosts that get drunk off of spirits are recognizable by their big red nose.
* FlyingBroomstick: A witch uses her flying broomstick to run a cab service. She gets hailed by a ghost to fly him to the party.
%%* FrankensteinsMonster:

* HorrifyingTheHorror: The ghosts' party goes from peak to zero when a knock on the door announces the arrival of another guest. As it turns out, two guests: Frankenstein's Monster and his blue-skinned companion. Ghosts don't keep to themselves seeing as how one took a cab ride from a witch, yet these two solid figures terrify the ghosts into abandoning the haunt en masse. It gets a chuckle out of the monster while with similar satisfaction his companion wonders aloud what could've frightened the ghosts away.
* InvisibleStreaker: The band playing at the party is invisible, meaning they're not wearing their sheets which earlier in the short is established as equivalent to being naked. Nobody gives it any mind.
* PinkElephants: After consuming spirits, three ghosts break out in a 30-second dance against a black backdrop. The dance see them change shape regularly, first by stretching then by taking the forms of objects, those being brooms, banners, and pants.
* RollingPinOfDoom: A ghost named Charlie is urged to go to the party by a friend and is raring to go, but his wife forbids it and knocks him back into his grave with her rolling pin.
* SingingInTheShower: A female ghost sings "It's a Hap-Hap-Happy Day" while taking a bath in preparation for the party.
* SingleMaltVision: There are three ghosts that get drunk on spirits, but they act in near-perfect tandem and eventually fuse into one ghost, so it's possible that for the entire sequence there only was one ghost seen as three.
%%* SpinTheBottle:
* WitchClassic: A bony witch with a big nose and chin wearing the default witch attire of a pointy hat, dress and buckled shoes runs a cab service utilizing her flying broomstick. One ghost hails her to get to the party.
* YouCanLeaveYourHatOn: A well-curved female ghost prepares for a bath by taking off her sheet, which means that upon undressing she is left invisible.
