The Girls destroy the disco ball and save the day.''''Abracadaver:''Al Lusion, the old-time Townsville magician, died tragically years ago. But it turns out he was actually zombified, as Abracadaver.

  • Ugh.

    "Abysmal"

    This just wrong. Fighting the boogie man who actually boogies. That is seriously ****** up and is a disgrace to my viewing pleasure. Abracadaver made no sense at all. A zombie of some dead magician comes back for revenge against Blossom. It seems like they are dead, but it turns out that Abracadver got killed instead. Too confusing.

    Boogie Frights: Every line seemed forced from this epsiode, this episode is starring the night clubbers guest starring the Power Puff Girls, seriously they need a lot more air time, if they want me to continues watching this show, most of it once again, was the villain rampaging.

    Abracadaver: This episode was a big step up from the last episode which shot the score right up. This episode was good cause it had a good plot, reasonable air time, and finally an unexpected ending, I actually thought Blossom was like dead. Would of been a good arc. But still great short.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Boogie Frights: When The Powerpuff Girls landed in Townsville while the music was playing and all the monsters were dancing, if you listen to Blossom, she said, "Oh my god." Shouldn't Cartoon Network have heard that word the first time and censor it? Edit
    • Shouldn't Al Lusion's corpse have been buried rather than leaving it to rot in the Iron Maiden? Edit
    • In "Abracadaver," when Abracadaver puts himself back together, his right arm where his pocket watch is, is missing. But in one shot, his left arm is missing and then it went back to where it started. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Narrator: The city of Townsville, and like most cities, Townsville prepares it's young for bed as evening approaches. The same is true for the home of the Powerpuff Girls. Edit
    • Blossom: Block out the sun? (looks up at the disco ball blocking the sun) That's it! Come on, girls, we gotta take out that disco ball! (they shoot up in the sky) Edit
    • Blossom: There's too many of them. Bubbles: We can't take them on. Buttercup: We need a plan, leader girl. Boogie Man: Well, well, well, it's the Powerpuff Girls... CRASHING MY PARTY!!! Bubbles: It's the Boogie Man!!! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The monsters shout Blame it on the Boogie. This is actually the title of a Michael Jackson song. Edit
    • Disco Ball: (Blows up) Bubbles shooting the lasers into the slot, and the disco ball blowing up is similar to Star Wars IV when Luke destroyed the Death Star. Edit
    • Abracadaver: Name Abracadaver's name seems to allude to the famous magic word 'Abracadabra', as well as 'cadaver', which means a dead body. Edit
