Dialogue

 * '[It starts with Brad Paisley singing the song Behind the clouds in radiator springs with all the shop lights on, while mater scaring Red, Luigi and Guido, Sally, Fillmore and Lizzie, proving 5/6 scares]
 * Lightning McQueen: Gosh, it sure is a nice night. [a tin can falls]''
 * Sally Carrera: [chuckles] It sure is a nice night.
 * McQueen: [chuckles] I sure hope Mater isn't waiting around anywhere to scare me, because I'll freak out. [Mater jumps down and scares McQueen] AHHHH!  [knocks down the cans]
 * Doc Hudson: [laughing] If only you moved that fast on the race track.
 * Mater: [laughing] Oh, buddy! You look like you've just seen... the Ghostlight!
 * Sheriff: Mater! Don't mock the Ghostlight!
 * McQueen: What is the Ghostlight?
 * [The sound of a record needle scratching is heard. Silence for 10 seconds]
 * Sheriff: The Ghostlight is a glowing orb of blue translucent light that haunts these very parts.
 * Mater: Nah, don't be too scared, buddy, it ain't real.
 * Sheriff: It is real! It all started on a night like tonight, the song dogs were wailin' at the moon of Cadillac Range while the summer wind blew hot like the breath of Zozobra. A young couple was heading down this very stretch of the mother road when they spotted an unnatural blue glow, and all that was left were 2 out-of-state license plates. So remember, the one thing that angers the Ghostlight more than anything else is the sound of clanking metal. [Mater's metal body clanks and tries to keeps it from shakes] As you head home tonight, keep an eye out. The Ghostlight could be anywhere. Well, good night! [zooms away]
 * Sally: Whew, I'm bushed. Good night!
 * All cars: Goodnight! [All drive off to their homes and turn lights off]
 * Mater: Uh, good night. [Street and neon lights shut off. It then shows mater driving in the dark humming Behind the clouds and notices a clank and backs into its shed when it's headlight brakes and the shed collapses and sees a lighting car bug] Oh, no! It's the Ghostlight! Ghostlight, I respect thee! Return from where you came! [The Bug Car notices and turns its blinker and heads back; chuckles] Oh, it’s just a lightning bug. The Ghostlight ain't yeller anyhow. Sheriff said the Ghostlight is blue. [Mater Notices a blue bright light and a weird howling noise, looks at his mirror in fright and notices] [In shock and fear] THE GHOSTLIGHT!!! AAAAH!!!! [He then drives off screams, proving that McQueen and Guido were the ones who placed it on, they both watch in amusement when Lightning and Guido did a tire handshake] [Meanwhile we then see Mater continues to scream from the light] The Ghostlight’s right behind me! Now it's in front of me! It’s right on my tail! [he then stops for a breif second, realizing it's now in front and then drives backwards and spooking some tractors and waking Frank, now driving along Willy's Butte, it then shows him sliding with screaming in slow motion sideways]'' The Ghostlight’s gonna eat me!
 * Ramone: Uh, let me know how it turns out. [It then shows Mater passed out after a long chase and drive from the light, not knowing it was the light and a prank after all]''
 * Mater: Ghostlight’s gonna... strip my parts and sell them on the computer auction... website… [he then groans. Realizing the "Ghost Light" is a lamp]'' Hey! Wait a minute.
 * All cars: [Laughing]
 * McQueen: Gotcha!
 * Mater: Shoot, I knowed this was a joke the whole time.
 * Sheriff: You see, son, the only thing to be scared of out here is your imagination.
 * Doc Hudson: Yup. That and, of course, the Screamin' Banshee. Well, good night!
 * All cars: Good night!
 * Mater: The Screamin' what? [starts shaking again. Brad Paisley: Behind the Clouds Plays in the End Credits] [to the growling Banshee who's right behind him] You better run. They say there's a Banshee out here somewhere tonight, but I ain't see him yet. Good night.
 * Banshee: Huh?
