The storm was so great that Club Penguin and the places that surround it were covered in darkness, just like as if an eclipse took place. This stirred up many penguins' creativity and they came up with continuing the Halloween Party! The atmosphere was so perfect for spooky sleds, Rad Scientists and Gary?

The Night of the Living Sled also had sequel and had two parts. One was played in the Lighthouse and the other in the Dance Lounge.
Unlike the year before, there was no eclipse, but the storm brought darkness to the whole area, just as if an eclipse took place. It is unknown why the [[Iceberg]] was dark since the storm was only on [[Club Penguin Island|Club Penguin]], maybe because the storm had spread to the Iceberg.
