Fright Night

Episode Number: 15    Season Num: 1    First Aired: Friday October 29, 2004    Prod Code: 015
In an attempt to beat Dash in a haunted house decorating contest, Danny "borrows" the enchanted sword of the Spirit of Halloween, the Fright Knight!

Danny Phantom has other ideas, however, and tries to banish the Fright Knight back to the Ghost Zone.

Apparently Sam and Tucker are so used to ghosts, they don't scare easily. (edit)
The name of this episode is a play-on with words with the Fright Knight and it's a frightening night on Halloween. (edit)
When Danny is showing Sam the Fright Knight's sword after popping up on her, his belt in ghost mode is missing. (edit)
This episode can be seen on the "Nick Picks Vol. 3" DVD. (edit)
Mrs. Tetslaff reveals that she put together a great haunted house party, the year before. She was dressed as the “Frankengertrudestein Monster.” (edit)

Quotes

add »
(Danny has a hold of the Fright Knight's sword)
Danny: (Getting stronger, and glowing white) To cease the Storm, to end the Fear, the sword must sheath in pumpkin near.
(He rips away the sword from the Fright Knight, and forces it into the pumpkin) (edit)
Sam: (After Danny puts the Soul Shredder in a pumpkin) Everything is being sucked back into the Ghost Zone! It's working! (Sam starts rising up) Ahhhh!
Danny: Sam! (Pulls her back down) (edit)
Dash: (To Danny, after he loses the bet and is forced to eat Dash's underwear) Bon appe-tighty whitey, loser! (edit)
Danny: (To Fright Knight, after he misses to hit him with the Soul Shredder several times) Strike six! Way to whiff, Mr. October! (edit)
Maddie: (Reading a ghost detector) This ecto-storm is coming from the direction of 917 Maple Street.
Jack: 917 Maple, eh? I could have sworn it was coming from that big spooky house with the green, swirly cloud overhead. (edit)

Trivia

add »
In the scene where Danny was standing in front of the skeletons in the ghost zone, his ghost aura was green iinstead of white. (edit)
In one scene, an ax swings at Danny and cuts his costume, but in the next scene, his costume is suddenly repaired. (edit)
Danny shouldn’t have been able to pull the Soul Shredder from the pumpkin since he was in human mode and the Soul Shredder is a ghostly object and humans are supposed to phase through ghostly objects in the Ghost Zone. (edit)
When Danny exits out of his replica of the Fright Knight, it retains its bright green glow for a couple of seconds. (edit)
The Soul Shredder blade cut the "Chronicles of the Fright Knight" book in half, but when Sam started looking through the torn-out pages, the pages were somehow whole again. (edit)

Fright Knight: Appearance
The armor of the Fright Knight bares resemblance to the Marvel Comics villain, Magneto. (edit)
The Chronicles of the Fright Night: Name
This might be an allusion from the kids novels, "The Chronicles of Narnia." (edit)
The Fright Knight's Horse: Appearance
The horse that the Fright Knight rides resembles the bat-winged stallion Hellhorse, ridden by the Marvel Comics character Dreadknight. (edit)
Boy's Costume: Appearance
