Plot

SpongeBob reads a scary book before bedtime. When he and Gary go to sleep, SpongeBob gets afraid in the dark. The next day he goes to work, whenever he sees darkness including blinking he over reacts to it. Mr. Krabs told him to buy a night light. All is well until he discovered the other rooms inside his house still covered by the darkness and then he rushed back to the store and bought some more lights. Patrick wakes up and sees the light in Spongebob's house. Patrick thinks Spongebob is throwing a party without him and storms to Spongebob's house. Spongebob lets Patrick in and tells him the scary things about the dark, so Patrick moves in to SpongeBob's house because he becomes scared of the dark too, but makes a hole in the wall letting in all of the darkness. SpongeBob and Patrick buy all sorts of light, probably stole some as well. This caused Squidward to wake up. One light has an M on it alerting Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. They find out there is no danger until a moth comes which Mermaid Man has been searching 57 years. SpongeBob traps it but it flies away with the top of his house and gary. At the time that is now morning, Patrick runs to the sun for more light, but unfortunately there is too much of it and run back to earth on fire and Spongebob goes to sleep.

Trivia/Goofs

Mark Hamill (Star Wars) guest voices as the Moth.
The title card's music was the same in Whale of a Birthday and The Slumber Party.
This is the 1st time the title card's music was in an episode that didn't feature Pearl.
Tom Kenny's face appeared when Mr.Krabs asked Spongebob to go in the fridge.
It took less than a minute for Patrick to reach the sun. The sun is 93,000,000 miles away, and would take years to reach it and go back to earth. This moment should have a time card to fit this situation, just like Squid on Strike though most likely when he got out of the water the light and dry air caused him to catch on fire.
When Patrick went to get the big ball of light, which was the sun, he come running back on fire. However, it is impossible to have your body on fire if you are underwater.
SpongeBob's house is shown to be several times larger than usual.
In this episode, it marks the first time Mermaid Man ever addresses SpongeBob by his name because usually they will call him kid
The "M alert" is very similar to the light of Batman's shadow.
Sponges do not have brains, so SpongeBob could not look at one in his head.
SpongeBob puts flashlights inside him to avoid the darkness, but later, they disappear. Probably SpongeBob's body is the only place he could avoid looking at?
Patrick has a window in his bedroom. How could he have a window, due to the fact that the rest of Patrick's house is underground?
If the author of the book SpongeBob read died trying to write the book, how did the book get published?
