Gloomy Nights

Gloomy Nights is the ninth world in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. It takes place in a small park at night, illuminated only by a poorly-engineered lantern. When the light goes out, the lawn is very hard to see, however the area can be brightened up by or .
The weather in Gloomy Nights commonly consists of rain. When a plant is exposed to rain for more than 10 seconds, that plant will stop performing its attack, instead being distracted by enjoying the rain. Fern Filter can be used to filter out the rain in a 3x3 area.
Cars pass by the road occasionally, leaving behind a trail of smoke. The smoke spreads and poisons 1-15 plants in the first 5 columns, dealing 50 per second. Fern Filter can filter out gas twice before being overwhelmed, where it dies.
There are five new plants to obtain and fifteen new zombies to encounter.
Its parallel counterpart is The Happiest City.
== Order of Events ==
The player receives a brochure , detailing the park that Gloomy Nights takes place in. The weather is rainy, and when it gets dark, it gets dark. The park has been placed right in front of a busy road, so gas is common.
After level 14, the player receives a letter that notifies them of an upcoming huge attack.
Once level 15 is beaten, the player unlocks both Fearsome Factory and The Happiest City.
