Plot[]
Casper is walking around the grounds of Scare School and finds Ra training and rating Mantha's scares, who has signed up for Kibosh's scare competition, called "Super Boo", where the contestant with the highest count of scared people gets the prize. Meanwhile, the principals Alder and Dash who are taking care of the trophy that will be given to the winner, feel wronged that they can't join in the Super Boo, since, according to them, they are the best scares of all and that the trophy should be theirs, so they plan a way to enter the competition without being noticed.
The next day, Mantha starts training with Casper and Ra for the competition and learning different tricks to help her be faster at scaring, like skateboarding, which ends up ending badly when she hits a wall. Later Alder and Dash tell students interested in participating in the competition to sign up at the school entrance, and as they finish, they reveal their plan to disguise themselves as students to enter Super Boo.
As Mantha is about to sign up, Thatch makes a bet with Casper involving her, that if she wins the competition, he would make brain stew for her for a month, and if he wins, she would launder his clothes for a month, which would not be a peaceful experience for her as the soap can cause problems for her skin. Casper encourages her to train more, but Mantha quickly gets angry and refuses his help, as she is already tired of training, and also did not agree with Casper's attitude in betting with Thatch. Casper has the idea to ask the Answertorium how a zombie could beat Super Boo, and the answer given is "it' ll be hard for a zombie to win the cup, she might as well hide, hide or give up", which Mantha refuses to believe after she shows up to ask the same question.
The next day, with the competition taking place in Deedstown, Alder and Dash wait for Kibosh to finish his speech to the contestants about the Super Boo story, and meanwhile, Casper meets with his human friend, Jimmy, and tries to warn him about the scares that will be happening, but to his surprise, Jimmy generally found it fun to be scared, which gives Casper an idea to help Mantha, so he tells Jimmy to go along with his friends to his uncles' mansion. Casper's plan is to get all the town's residents to go to the haunted mansion, where Mantha will be waiting for them to scare them by surprise, also interpreting in the correct way what the Answertorium really meant. While Casper goes on with his idea, Thatch makes 38 scares in his turn, scoring the highest score of the competitors, much to Mantha's concern. Casper, after scattering several posters to attract the citizens to the mansion, tells his idea to Mantha, who quickly accepts.
At the mansion, Mantha manages to scare Jimmy and his friends first, surprising Kibosh, who claims that she has beaten the zombie record, which is zero, and then Casper's plan ends up working, as all the residents are scared by Mantha to pass Thatch in the score, with only ten seconds left for her to give the last scare. Mantha wins the competition, standing out as the first zombie to win Super Boo, to the pride of Kibosh, who also denies that more competitors are on the list after Alder and Dash show up in their disguises, who end up fighting due to the two having forgotten to sign up and resulting in their plan failing.
At Scare School, Mantha, Casper and Ra go to show off the trophy Mantha won, with Thatch disgustingly making the brain stew for Mantha since he ended up losing the bet.
