3	Mordecai and Rigby set up an outdoor movie night to raise money for the Park, where they show a zombie movie that seemingly comes to life.
4	----
5	!!"Grave Sights" contains examples of:
6	* ActuallyAGoodIdea: Benson initially doesn't want to hear Mordecai and Rigby's idea since he thinks it will be dumb. But once they suggest showing a scary movie in the abandoned cemetery he thinks it sounds like a great idea. Skips seconds their idea, recalling having a movie night there a long time ago that was a huge success.
7	* AllPartOfTheShow: So much at the movie showing. When actual zombies come out amongst the audience, they think it's part of the 3-D zombie movie they're watching. And the antics of the other park members to kill the zombies also match the antics of the zombie hunter in the movie. This makes the audience think the movie is spectacular and that the 3-D is almost lifelike, and they cheer loudly as the movie ends.
8	* BigNo: Benson, at first, when Mordecai and Rigby try to input their idea on how to get money for the park.
9	* CarFu: Mordecai and Rigby decide to take out the final muscular zombie with this method, driving the golf cart to the zombie, sending him crashing onto the screen.
10	* ChekhovsGun: The sports equipment that Muscle Man said he brought when wanting to do sports to bring money to the park. The Park workers use those to kill the zombies that have been reawakened during the movie screening. Muscle Man even lampshades that it would come in handy.
11	* GiantMook: The final zombie the workers have to defeat is a very muscular wrestler who can overpower even Skips.
12	* GoneHorriblyRight: The movie night was a success and Benson rewards the duo their paid day off, but then Benson says that they'll do it again tomorrow the exact same way, which unbeknownst to him involved the park crew fending off real zombies.
13	* GroinAttack: Skips does this at first to the last, muscular zombie, only for [[NoSell his foot to just smash right through it, which doesn’t make the zombie even flinch]].
14	* HopeSpot: After the climactic movie ends, Benson tells Mordecai and Rigby that they’ve earned their paid day off, much to their joy. However, Benson then adds that they will get another one because he plans on showing the movie in another screening in the exact same way as last time. As in, the way that was presented while Park workers behind the screen were fighting ACTUAL zombies, and the audience thinking it was AllPartOfTheShow. This leaves the duo stunned and wondering what to do now.
15	* KnuckleCracking: The GiantMook does this when facing Mordecai and Rigby, and then cracking his ENTIRE HEAD.
16	* ManiacTongue: A zombie that is about to bite Pops has this, even doing so [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou while looking directly at the camera!]] Lampshaded, when Muscle Man calls him to lick on a weapon.
17	* MockingSingSong: Mordecai and Rigby do this to Benson.
18	-->'''Benson:''' If this doesn't work, you won't be getting a paid day off!\
19	'''Mordecai:''' Pfft! It's gonna work.\
20	'''Mordecai and Rigby:''' ''(in a singsong tone) Because we know everything about scary movies.\
21	And you know nothing about scary movies!\
22	We'll save the Park with our knowledge of scary movies--''\
23	'''Benson:''' STOP SINGING OR YOU'RE FIRED!\
24	'''Mordecai and Rigby:''' ''(speaking normally now)'' --with our knowledge of scary movies.\
25	'''Mordecai:''' We'll go get the movie.
26	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The tombstone of the GiantMook that fights the Park workers, his name is shown as "Howard 'Hellion' Fightington". According to the "Villains Gallery" section of the ''Fright Pack'' DVD, "Hellion" sounds intimidating but really it's just a family name.
27	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Thanks to Mordecai and Rigby accidentally stopping the footage, they start trying to turn it back on. While doing so, it creates a series of sparks that go deep beneath the graveyard ground and into coffins, reawakening the dead people inside.
28	* OhCrap: Mordecai and Rigby think a zombie waking from the screen is part of the amazing 3-D effects of the movie. However, they then realize that they aren't wearing their 3-D spectacles, and that's a REAL zombie.
29	* OwMyBodyPart: When the film projector restarts in a way that sends off sparks (which reawaken the dead underneath the graveyard ground) one of the sparks hits a man in the back of the head. Hilariously, he says, "Ow, my kidneys!"
30	* PetTheDog: Benson is very happy to give Mordecai and Rigby their paid day off when their idea works. He also heavily implies he is willing to give them another one if they can pull movie night off again.
31	* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Mordecai shares one with Zombie Slayer when he's about to run Hellion over [[CarFu with the cart]].
32	-->'''Mordecai:''' Okay, you lousy, undead creep.\
33	'''Zombie Slayer:''' You've taken a lot from me, but if you think you're gonna deprive me of my--\
34	'''Mordecai:''' [[FinishingEachOthersSentences Paid day off]]...\
35	'''Mordecai and Zombie Slayer:''' You're ''sorely'' mistaken!
36	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: When the crowd is booing and demanding their money back after Mordecai and Rigby accidentally knock over the movie projector, Benson angrily looks behind at them and demands that they "Fix! It!" through clenched teeth. He continues to do so as the duo struggle with the tape, this time yelling it and throwing his collapsible chair repeatedly onto the ground.
37	* RapidFireShutUp: When trying to get the movie tape to work again, Rigby accidentally spits on it. When Mordecai questions why he did it, Rigby frantically responds with this trope.
38	* ShoutOut: The entire episode is a homage to horror movies:
39	** ''Zombocalypse'' strongly resembles ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' complete with a Creator/BruceCampbell lookalike hero, the cover art of ''Zombocalypse'' resembles ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', the shot of the zombies reanimating in their graves looks similar to ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', and the concept of a movie creating zombies might be a reference to ''Film/{{Demons}}''.
40	*** And on the video game side, the ultra-strong zombie at the end is similar to the Tank from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.
41	*** The zombie chick who almost bites the main character before Rigby bumps into the projector might be a nod to the "horror hags" from the original ''[[Film/TheEvilDead1981 Evil Dead]]''.
42	* ShowWithinAShow: ''Zombocalypse''.
43	* SkewedPriorities: Mordecai is worried about the zombies hurting people in the crowd... because if that happens, it would ruin his and Rigby's paid day off.
44	* StaggeredZoom: Happens when Benson tells the Park workers that whomever comes up with a successful idea to get extra money in will get a [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Paid. Day. Off]].
45	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Skips when he realizes that beating the GiantMook zombie won't be so easy. Pretty much, he's then punched away a second later.
46	* ZombieApocalypse: The theme of the movie shown at movie night, where Rigby accidentally causes the special projector to short-circuit and reanimates the corpse in the graveyard they held it in.
