To watch the Shortnightmares, players can choose the Shortnitemares playlist from the menu and travel to the Shortnitemares Theater. From the theater, players can select one of seven rooms to enter. Each room plays a different short film, so take your pick of the film selection. Participating in Short Nite for 30 minutes or more nets players the Spray Matter spray for personal use. The event can be enjoyed alone or with several friends tagging along.
