Features
Many cosmetic changes where made. Each have been listed below with images in the gallery.


 * Night Hospitals - During the 2018 event, Mitton University and Tumble were changed from day time to night time hospitals. Inside, the buildings remains brightly lit, but the outside is dark. The street lamps remain off but the car lights and ambulance lights flash brightly in the dark. In 2019, instead Hogsport, Melt Downs, Roquefort Castle and Goldpan receive the night-time treatment. In these cases, the street lamps are active.


 * Hospital Decorations - All hospitals have new spooky decorations at every entrance. Main entrances have a collection of pumpkins, two of which have glowing faces. All other external doorways have pumpkins but also a big black cauldron with green liquid steaming inside. Bats also fly across all hospitals. They can be seen alone or in groups.


 * Music - Six original tracks are replaced with new spooky versions. All these tracks, with a sample, are listed below in Music. They are also listed on the Two Point Hospital page.

Frightheadedness
Yes, Spooooooky Mode even gets its very own illness. The illness Lightheadedness is morphed into the beautiful but equally alarming Frightheadedness. Instead of having lightbulbs for heads, these more folk have Jack-o'-lanterns for heads.

The cure is still a trip to the De-Lux Clinic, but instead of unscrewing the bulb, the machine grabs the pumpkin head and pulls, until the pumpkin is plucked from the stalk neck. The flame inside the Jack-o'-lantern extinguishes and is thrown away as a new head is popped back onto their shoulders.
