But when he hugs Squidward, he is wearing his hat on his head again.

When SpongeBob screams in terror, his hat falls off.

When Squidward and SpongeBob notice the flickering lights and the phone, neon signs reading 'Open Forever!' can be seen, but when the Hash-Slinging Slasher appears, the signs are gone.

Nosferatu then appears and starts flickering the lights. He then explains that he called but hung up because he became nervous. When the figure approaches the register, however, they discover the figure was really a teenager who wished to be a fry cook. He and SpongeBob go insane and try to stay together.

Squidward, however, denies it and it approaches them. As soon as they see him, the become terrified, but SpongeBob assumes it's Squidward attempting to entertain him by imitating the night of the fry cook's death. When he realizes they always ooze the slime, a bus appears, even though the buses don't run that late, and a figure similar to the Hash-Slinging Slasher appears. As soon as the phone hangs up, Squidward begins to count out the activity, mentioning that the walls ooze green slime. The phone then rings, but when Squidward answers, the caller hangs up.

The lights, however, start to flicker, but they assume it's the faulty wiring in the building. Later that night, Squidward hears SpongeBob cleaning the ceiling and ignores it (until SpongeBob spooks him by shouting in his ear). SpongeBob replies by laughing hysterically. Squidward soon becomes annoyed because of SpongeBob's screaming and tells him to stop screaming, claiming that he made the story up. SpongeBob becomes terrified of the story, and screams repeatedly, while Squidward laughs. When he walks in and ignores it, Squidward tells him about the story of the Hash-Slinging Slasher (the ghost of a former fry cook who died near the restaurant that tries to attack the employees every night, showing he's coming by flickering the lights, ringing the phone, and appearing in the ghost of a bus). Squidward then tells him to take out the trash, and SpongeBob does but becomes terrified (even though he tries to hide it). SpongeBob then appears and gets excited about how great it is to work at the restaurant 24/7 and sings a song about it, doing his 'chores' as he sings. Krabs realizes he'll generate more cash if he kept the Krusty Krab open 24/7, he tears apart the closed sign and declares that the restaurant is open 24/7. Tom, however, appears and attempts to order a Krabby patty and french fries. It is closing time at the Krusty Krab and Squidward is getting ready to go home.
