Spooky (Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion)

"I just wanted to be taken seriously. I just wanted to scare people. They overreacted, but I don't blame them. At least I finally scared someone."

- Spooky about her latest attempt to scare someone. "Hello, I am Spooky. And this is my home. Can you humble player, make it through 1000 rooms? Can you find what lies at the end? Or is there even an end? Cuz I don't really know. Anyway jus-just go..."

- Spooky at the beginning of the game.

House of Jumpscares
"I'm so sorry my little angel. I've tried hating the man that took you from us, but in the end the only person I can hate is myself. You always liked to scare people, especially when they didn't understand something. I was confounded no one understood your costume but I guess people don't read Poe anymore, even with the new Price film. That man clearly overreacted to your fireworks, but we can only blame a PTSD sufferer so much."

- Spooky's father's note found in Karamari Hospital DLC.

Secret Arcade Room in the manor, and a note Karamari Hospital DLC revealed the brief but understandable backstory of Spooky: Spooky started her life as a cute human girl whom is insecure due to her cute appearance led her made fun of, especially during Halloween. She tried to where he most frightening Halloween coustume, but alas, she was still cute.

One day during the Halloween, when she tried to scare someone with her Red Death costume from the tale The Masque of the Red Death from Edgar Allan Poe and some fireworks, her victim, whom later revealed to suffer PTSD, unexpectedly shot her to death with a gun. It's unknown what happened to the killer next, but the mortally wounded Spooky presumably brought to the hospital, where she died there. Her father can only blamed himself for not preventing it to happened, as he cannot bring himself to hate her killer due to the said killer were suffered PTSD due to scarred and traumatized by accident with fireworks in the past.

Due to her violent death and being a misunderstood girl whom ridiculed due to her cute appearance, Spooky returned as ghost to take her revenge so she, and other ghosts whom ridiculed due to adorable looks can rose and terrorize the living so they won't be ridiculed anymore. For that, she somehow gathered many people includes scientists and workers to build maze of 1000 rooms below a derelict mansion upon the hill that casts a blanket of darkness over a town, and fill the maze with various monsters that identified as Specimens. Afterwards, people whom aiding Spooky either left or killed by monsters inside.

She then challenged unspecified number of people to enter the labyrinth and survives various jumpscare and encounter with the monsters until they arrived at 1000th room, but no one returned due to either killed or due to starvation and dehydration up until the protagonist arrived.

In the game, Spooky appears every 250 rooms, to congratuate the player on the way, getting more miffed that they are not dying yet, tricking the player at Floor 250 (playing a harmless prank) and Floor 750 (saying she's giving the player infinite stamina, but shes really disabling sprinting)

At the final room (being Room 1000), the player finds themselves in a peaceful field, leading the player to think they have survived the horrors of the mansion. However, the "sky" soon crashes as Spooky appears before the player, looking rather irritated that the protagonist managed to live. However, as Spooky is talking, Specimen 9's bellows out a angry roar, which cheers up the ghost, stating that the player needs to do one more thing before they can leave: beat a transformed Specimen 9.

The final boss can result in two different endings. If you use the axe too much in the game, (even if you where using it for Specimen 9's Boss form, for example.) they will get the bad ending. The playable character repeatedly chops away at the beast, the screen getting more of a red tint with each swing. After this, Spooky then appears, both in congratulation and to say it was interesting to see them swing their weapon with reckless abandon. She then says she thinks they'll make a great example of a Specimen. After this, the protagonist is then shown dragging their axe behind them, as the screen reads "Bad Ending".

However, if the protagonist uses their weapon sparingly against the boss, they are able to get the Good Ending. If they are to get said Good Ending, the roof collapses on both hero and beast. After this sudden event, Spooky suddenly appears once more, claiming that the protagonist died and became a ghost, due to their tragic death. After revealing this,the both of them float above the floor, which reveals a ledge over a large amount of ghosts in a large room. Spooky appears on a large screen in the center of the room, stating that her collection of spectes now have the proper amount to execute her true plan: to lead a army on a quest to stop the fact people think ghosts are cute. After this, the game ends.

Karamari Hospital
In the Karamari Hospital DLC, Spooky appears after the elevator crashes and mentions that she did not remember that the mansion included these rooms, and then leaves the player to explore the hospital. She reappears later and tells the player that the hospital is a lot bigger than she thought it would be. She calls this "interesting", and after wishing the player luck (calling them "recruit") she sinks into the floor. She appears for the final time when exiting the hospital and notes that the player forgot to find something inside the hospital. She then bids the player farewell and disappears yet again. After beating this mode, the player unlocks the New Game + of the DLC, where Spooky wears a nurse outfit.
