The Titans' Halloween party is interrupted by the HIVE robbing a candy factory, and after the battle hits a major shift, very strange things start happening around H.I.V.E. Tower.

!!Tropes:
* TheBadGuyWins: Not only is the HIVE successful in blowing up the candy factory, they also finally destroy the Titans. Unfortunately, the latter was all part of Robin’s plan to ruin their night and they come to regret their success.
* DemonicPossession: Raven and Starfire possess See-More and Mammoth and play around acting like a couple of “bros.”
* {{Ectoplasm}}: Beast Boy and Cyborg slime Gizmo and Billy Numerous with their ectoplasm.
-->'''Beast Boy & Cyborg:''' Get that good slime all over your face!
* EverythingMakesAMushroom: The candy factory makes one when the HIVE blows it up. It’s then reflected in all of the Titans’ eyes as they scream a BigNo.
* EvilLaugh: After he successfully scares Jinx, Robin does one awkwardly in the elevator alone.
* FauxHorrific: Robin’s idea of terrorizing Jinx is trapping her in an elevator with his awkward small talk and his coffee breath. It works.
* FogFeet: The Titans’ have these in their ghost forms.
* HalloweenEpisode: When the HIVE ruins their Halloween celebration, the Titans get their revenge.
* MonsterMash: In the parody of the song of the same name, Raven plays a [[Literature/TheRaven raven]], Robin plays a MadScientist, Gizmo plays TheIgor, Mammoth plays FrankensteinsMonster, and the rest of the group plays an [[TorchesAndPitchforks angry mob]].
* MusicalPastiche: The titular “Scary Figure Dance” song is a reference to Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers’ “Monster Mash.”
* NearDeathExperience: The Titans die when they’re hit with the HIVE’s Death Ray, but are brought back to life at the end of the episode. This is despite the fact that their bodies disappeared after they were hit and that they spent the whole night as ghosts.
* NightmareFace: All of the Titans do one when Mammoth accuses them of not being very scary.
* OperationBlank: Robin’s “Operation: Halloween” which involves the Titans decorating the Tower for Halloween.
* ShoutOut:
** See-More and Billy Numerous are shown to be watching ''[[Film/{{Nosferatu}} Nosferatu]]''.
** Jinx’s Halloween costume is similar to Pebbles from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones The Flintstones]]''.
** When See-More says he's going to call "those guys who are good at busting ghosts", he's making a reference to ''[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]''. A MusicalPastiche of their theme song even plays when he tries to call them.
** The music playing during Jinx’s seance sounds like the ''[[Film/Halloween1978 Halloween]]'' theme.
* SpookySeance: Jinx holds one with the rest of the HIVE to find out what the ghosts haunting them want.
* SurprisinglyHappyEnding: The HIVE brings the Titans back to life to stop their annoying haunting and they find that both groups ended up having a fun night. The HIVE had a good time being scared and the Titans enjoyed being ghosts.
* WolvesAlwaysHowlAtTheMoon: The episode begins with a silhouette of a realistic-looking wolf howling against the backdrop of a full moon. It’s then revealed to be Robin in a werewolf costume.
