Nickelodeon continues to expand its DVD library with fresh releases that give fans a new way to enjoy the undersea antics of SpongeBob SquarePants. The latest title, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: GHOULS FOOLS, delivers a Halloween flavored story to fans in homes across North America. In the episode, SpongeBob and his starfish friend Patrick discover an old, creaky houseboat that happens to be haunted by a furious ghost named Lord Poltergeist. The ghost steals their souls and won’t release them until a new head gasket is provided. Curious about what a head gasket is? The tale invites viewers to watch and uncover the joke behind the line, a bit of silly science wrapped in sea bound giggles.
On this release, the main episode is joined by extra features that stay true to the show’s playful nautical humor. The disc offers a virtual treasure hunt, knot tying lessons used by sailors, and a voyage aboard the Flying Dutchman as the spectral ship haunts the Seven Seas. These bonuses extend the adventure beyond the screen and invite viewers to join SpongeBob and Patrick on a few lighthearted sea quests.
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: GHOULS FOOLS is available in stores now, bringing a spooky season night of laughs for the whole family, with the bright voices and zany energy fans know and love.
