DJ Hardwell voices the Flying Dutchman in the Dutch version of "The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom".Inspired by the visual style of classic stop-motion animation TV specials, Bikini Bottom is decked out for Halloween and features Sandy's treedome as a mad scientist's lab, including a giant remotely operated Acorn Monster; Mr. Krabs' restaurant as "The Horrors of the Chum Bucket," displaying scenes of Plankton torturing food; and Plankton's restaurant as "The Horrors of the Krusty Krab," telling the story of Mr. Krabs turning customers into Krabby Patties and more.
The characters wear Halloween costumes, with SpongeBob as a flower, Patrick as a knight, Sandy as a mad scientist, Mr. Krabs as a dollar bill, Plankton as a devil, Squidward as himself, and Karen as a cat. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom features an original song, "The Scare Song," written by Mr. Lawrence, music by Eban Schletter and performed by the Flying Dutchman's crew of pirate ghosts.
SpongeBob Squarepants - Halloween in Boe-kini Broek! | Nickelodeon NederlandsZou SpongeBob voor het eerst echt bang zijn van De Vliegende Hollander?The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom was produced at Screen Novelties, a Los Angeles-based stop-motion animation production company, where miniature puppets and sets brought Bikini Bottom to life in three dimensions. The production featured 27 unique sets, across five stages, where 15 boxes of breakfast cereal were used to create texture on Bikini Bottom's coral reefs; eight pounds of glitter were used to decorate SpongeBob's Halloween pineapple house; hundreds of popsicle sticks created the planks of the rollercoaster track that Patrick and SpongeBob ride; and "black lights" were used to create a fluorescent glow across the puppets and sets.
The special features various production techniques including: stop-motion puppet animation, marionette puppeteering, hand puppets and 2D hand-drawn animation designed by Sally Cruikshank.
Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller are co-executive producers on
SpongeBob SquarePants. The special was written by Mr. Lawrence, with Brian Morante serving as the storyboard director and Jennie Monica as producer. The special is being directed by Mark Caballero and Seamus Walsh, and produced by Chris Finnegan of Screen Novelties.
This is the second time Nickelodeon has partnered with Screen Novelties on a
SpongeBob SquarePants stop-motion episode.
SpongeBob SquarePants: It's a SpongeBob Christmas! debuted December 2012 and featured Plankton turning everybody in Bikini Bottom from nice to naughty.

DJ Hardwell jaagt SpongeBob de stuipen op het lijf bij NickelodeonHalloween-special zondag 29 oktober om 16.30 uur te zien bij NickelodeonDJ Hardwell laat zich zondag 29 oktober van zijn meest angstaanjagende kant horen in de Halloween-special van SpongeBob SquarePants op Viacom-zender Nickelodeon. Hardwell kruipt in de stop-motion geanimeerde aflevering De legende van Boe-kini Broek in de geest van de Vliegende Hollander. Als SpongeBob Halloween eerder grappig dan eng blijkt te vinden doet de Vliegende Hollander z'n uiterste best om SpongeBob en Patrick toch de stuipen op het lijf te jagen.
Hardwell: "Ik vind het als groot fan echt een enorme eer om gevraagd te zijn deze rol in te spreken in SpongeBob! De rol van Vliegende Hollander was een hele toffe om te doen, want hij is heel erg druk en heel erg evil. Als ik op het podium sta kan ik ook aardig schreeuwen, dus de gelijkenis is duidelijk aanwezig!"
De SpongeBob SquarePants Halloween-special is op zondag 29 oktober om 16.30 uur te zien op Nickelodeon en daarna terug te kijken op nickelodeon.nl en in de Nickelodeon Play app.
