* Patchy the Pirate narrating over a shot of Bikini Bottom at night: "Let me tell ye a tale kiddies, one so spooky it'll surely knock yer socks off! Let's begin…"
* 'SpongeBob and the Haunted Hotel: a Spooktacular! Television Special'
* (4:37 PM) The scene opened to a 12 year old SpongeBob in his parents' boat, going on a ride.
* SpongeBob: "I have a bad feeling about this."
* SpongeBob's mom: "Relax, it's just one night, then we'll go home."
* SpongeBob's dad: "There's nothing to be scared about."
* SpongeBob: "It's an old hotel at the center of a graveyard!"
* SpongeBob's dad: "Ah- ah- ah! An AVERAGE old hotel at the center of a graveyard!"
* SpongeBob: "But what if it's-"
* SpongeBob's mother: "I assure you it's not haunted."
* SpongeBob's mother pulled the boat into a field with tombstones scattered around it, passing under a sign that read 'Meeplin Graveyard'. They passed by a crow standing on a tombstone. She parked the boat on the side of a big gray building that has letters on the top spelling 'Old's Burg Hotel'.
* SpongeBob and his parents opened their doors and stepped out of the boat.
* "This is it!" Said his father before he shut his door.
* SpongeBob looked around 180° degrees, then said: "It looks like a dump."
* SpongeBob and his parents walked through the front door of the building.
* His mother: "With no ghosts."
* His father: "Nothing but a nice and cheap hotel!"
* SpongeBob stood in front of a painting of an adult blue fish wearing a tuxedo with white curled hair. He looked to be half frowning, and half smiling.
* SpongeBob: "Hm."
* SpongeBob's parents walked up to the front desk, where a chubby bald orange fish with a brown mustache wearing a white button up shirt, stood behind a register.
* He had a creepy way of speaking, and said: "Call me Mr. Unionderic. Want a room for three? What can I get you today?"
* SpongeBob's father: "Uh, yes, my name is Harold. We spoke online."
* Mr. Unionderic: "Ahh, yes. A one nighter? Very good. Coming from a business trip, Mr. SquarePants? Well, here's your key."
* Mr. Unionderic leaned forward and handed SpongeBob's parents a silver key on a key chain.
* SpongeBob's mother: "Uh, thank you."
* Mr. Unionderic smiled, saying: "Enjoy your stay."
* The scene cut to inside their hotel room. It's longer than it is wide and has two bedrooms. In the living room, SpongeBob was sitting at a rectangular table and drawing a picture of himself jellyfishing on a grassy hill. He had fallen asleep and his head was on his arm above the table and his hand was still holding a pencil over the drawing. A clock in the room can be seen telling it's nine PM.
* SpongeBob's mother touched him on the shoulder, waking him up and said: "Nice picture. You may wanna go to bed though."
* SpongeBob: "Uh, yeah."
* The scene cut to an extremely dark long hallway with a black ceiling, walls, and a bright red colored carpet stretched through the hallway and SpongeBob ran through the hallway, as the scene's aspect ratio tilted and then SpongeBob ran down another hallway that looks the same as the scene's angle switched from behind him to in front of SpongeBob as his face looks frozen in terror, and behind him in the dark distance is an open gap in the walls and a giant demonic looking version of Mr. Unionderic who laughed loudly! The giant Mr. Unionderic reached his big hands out to grab SpongeBob! SpongeBob started running up a set of red colored stairs to get away from him, and as SpongeBob was running up the midpoint of the stairs, steps a few inches behind him started collapsing into a bottomless pit of darkness! SpongeBob's veins on the side of his head were pounding as sweat ran down his face! The number of collapsing steps were catching up to him, as now the ones right behind him were collapsing, then the step SpongeBob was on let go, sending him falling down the endless pit of darkness, as behind him, the giant Mr. Unionderic warped into a giant SpongeBob clone, continuing to laugh, then dissolved into a SpongeBob shaped skeleton cackling at SpongeBob's torment!
* "AGH!" Yelled SpongeBob, as the scene cut to him standing in a dimly lit, less dark hallway in the hotel, and a light gray carpet.
* SpongeBob: "Was I… sleepwalking?"
* There was a ghostly moaning sound vibrating through an open hotel room nearby.
* "What the?" Asked SpongeBob as he tiptoed into the hotel room.
* The moaning sound stopped, but then SpongeBob became aware of a distant repeated banging noise.
* SpongeBob thought out loud: "Sounds like it's coming from…"
* He followed the banging sound to a bed against a corner in the hotel room.
* SpongeBob: "Hmm…"
* SpongeBob pulled the bed out of the corner, uncovering a rectangular hole leading to a dimly lit stairway echoing the banging sound.
* SpongeBob walked down the stairs saying: "Anyone there?"
* It was an underground library! As SpongeBob continued walking through it, the bed from upstair slid over his entrance, blocking him in, and books started flying all over the place, followed by the return of the moaning sound!
* SpongeBob: "What do I do?!"
* He closed his fists.
* SpongeBob: "I just gotta face my fears…"
* He ran towards the spot the moaning sound and flying books were coming out of, and he grabbed ahold of a figure!
* SpongeBob: "Gotcha! Wait, you're not a ghost."
* The moaning stopped and he had grabbed ahold of an old man wearing a uniform.
* The old man said: "No, I didn't know you were there. I'm the janitor and I was just looking through these library shelves and my back is killing me."
* SpongeBob: "Oh! So that's why I heard moaning!"
* The bubble effect transitions the scene to the next morning and cheerful background music starts playing.

* As SpongeBob and his parents were walking out the front door of the Hotel carrying their bags of stuff, **Slappy** stood outside and stared at them.
* Harold: "Oh, you must be the door guy. I didn't see you yesterday."
* Slappy: "Yess. I've always been here."
* SpongeBob's mother: "Well, have a good day."
* Slappy didn't say anything.
* As SpongeBob and his parents were walking to their boat, Harold said to SpongeBob's mom: "Interesting fella."
* When they got to their boat, Slappy was already there, smiling.
* SpongeBob's mother: "You again?!"
* Slappy: "Would you like me to carry your bags?"
* Harold, standing right next to the boat, said: "Uh, that wouldn't be necessary."
* Slappy's pupils went cockeyed and he said: "Nooo."
* The scene cut to SpongeBob and his parents in the boat, driving away from Old's Burg Hotel.
* SpongeBob's mother: "So for one night, that wasn't so bad, huh SpongeBob?"
* SpongeBob: "Yeah. I thought I almost caught a ghost, but really it was just the janitor." He started laughing.
* Harold: "Wait, but that's impossible."
* SpongeBob: "Why?"
* SpongeBob's mom: "The guy at the desk told us their last janitor passed away fifty years ago."
* SpongeBob: "WHAT?"
* The angle of the scene cut from inside the boat to the road behind them as they drove away and a ghost stood with his hands on his stomach, laughing.
* The End?
