Fright Theater
Game	Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese version)
Number of levels	2
New zombies
To unlock	After defeating Dark Ages - Night 5

Fright Theater (剧院惊魂; pinyin: jùyuàn jīnghún) is the first Brain Buster exclusive to Dark Ages in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. Since the 1.8.0 update, it is featured in the levels Dark Ages - Night 6 and Dark Ages - Night 20.

In this Brain Buster, there are pathways that cannot be planted on. The zombies will walk along the pathways, similar to those in Across the Lawn in Sky City, and also Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum in Plants vs. Zombies Online. The player needs to stop the zombies from getting to the straw (or metal) house at the end of the lawn by using the given plants. Killing a zombie rewards the player with sun, depending on its toughness. He or she can upgrade a plant by tapping it, then tapping the "Upgrade" button, represented by a small icon of an arrow.

However, upgrading a plant requires the player to spend a certain amount of sun. The amount of pig heads left (at the bottom left corner of the screen, showing on the straw house) are the amount of lives the player has. If a zombie manages to reach it, regardless of type, the amount decreases by one. Some "boss" zombies with much higher toughness can instantly decrease this amount to zero. If it hits zero, the house collapses, and the player loses the level.

Levels

All levels give a star upon completion for the first time, and two stars for the completion of their Hard Mode variants.

Trivia

• It is thought to be based partly on the fable The Three Little Pigs.
  • However, the developers once mentioned that it is based on Carrot Fantasy, a Chinese TD game.
    • Coincidentally, it's the same team of artists who drew the Chinese Plants vs. Zombies comics and Carrot Fantasy comics.
  • The Three Little Pigs have been referenced throughout the Plants vs. Zombies series: the first time in Plants vs. Zombies: The Three Little Pigs Fight Back; the second time in the Brickhead Zombie's Almanac entry.
• The zombies walk sideways in the paths going up and down.
• Fright Theater, All by Oneself, Air Raid, and Across the Lawn are the only Brain Busters where the firing rates of plants are increased.
• All non-wolf zombies seen in this Brain Buster are actually completely different zombies from their original counterparts, which is why they are much stronger but lack any of their abilities.
• The pigs are wearing saucepans that are similar to the one Crazy Dave wears.
• There is a glitch that if the player pauses the game, exits the game and re-enters it after a couple of minutes, when the game is resumed, parts of the pathways will disappear and the player will receive an instant Game Over.
