Boos in the Nite is one of the Screen Songs by Famous Studios. It came out on September 22, 1950, well in time for its boos to entertain on Halloween. The short was written by Joe Stultz and Larry Riley, directed by Isadore Sparber, scored by Winston Sharples, animated by Myron Waldman and Nick Tafuri, and backgrounds were provided by Anton Loeb. The feature song is "Pack Up Your Troubles", a popular 1915 marching tune.It's Halloween night, and the broadcasting station at Ghost Town sends out a transmission that a party is to be held at the local mansion. 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 Monster-like Jonathan and the Igor-esque Dr. Einstein from Arsenic and Old Lace. As such, Boos in the Nite might be the earliest monsterification of Peter Lorre, who played Dr. Einstein in the 1944 film adaptation and whom the blue-skinned creature is specifically modeled after. | |

Bedsheet Ghost | |
| Boos in the Nite / int_23b059ec | comment |
Bedsheet Ghost: The ghosts are inherently invisible, but wear white sheets that they can turn incorporeal and corporeal at will. They also have control over the sheet's form, given that one ghost serves as a hammock for another ghost. | |

Dirty Old Man | |
| Boos in the Nite / int_267ce120 | comment |
Dirty Old Man: 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. | |

Invisible Streaker | |
| Boos in the Nite / int_3e823033 | comment |
Invisible Streaker: 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. | |

Horrifying the Horror | |
| Boos in the Nite / int_79f9249 | comment |
Horrifying the Horror: 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. | |

| Boos in the Nite / int_7a2ebcba | comment |
Frankenstein's Monster: The ghosts' party is cut short by the arrival of the Monster of Frankenstein and a blue-skinned creature. Despite that the duo is there to join the party, as evidenced by their party hats, the ghosts are terrified by their appearance and abandon the party. It gets a sinister chuckle out of the Monster. | |

Pink Elephants: 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. | |

Black Sheep: A family of five ride to the party on an invisible tandem bicycle seemingly made for six because there's a gap between the second and third child. Unlike the other ghosts, the third child wears a black sheet and giddily explains they're the black sheet of the family. | |

| Boos in the Nite / int_b7c45771 | comment |
Single Malt Vision: 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. | |

Aside Comment | |
| Boos in the Nite / int_f567146c | comment |
Aside Comment: 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. | |
