Midnight Cemetery is the second area in Plants vs. Zombies: World Traveler. It takes place in a cemetery above the hills. Fireflies are present flying on the field with green lights and they don't effect the gameplay at all; just a pure cosmetic to make the whole lawn more lively.
This area has so many returning gimmicks from past games, such as tombstones, "Necromancy!" surprise attack, and nighttime mechanics. Tombstones are obstacles that can be damaged by plants and removed instantly by Grave Buster. They will spawn random zombies (mostly basic variants, Bride of Frankentuars, or Ghost Zombies) on occasion during "Necromancy!" surprise attack.
Day of the Dead gimmick might happen once in random waves without any warning, or even a flashing text on the screen. First introduced in Level 2-14: Dia de los Muertos, the whole lawn was surrounded by Ghost Peppers and Jack O' Lanterns in wisp form if this happened frequently, and several things might happen in the field with different chances.
- Five to nine Jack O' Lantern wisps will appear on random tiles on the field. This event has 50% chance to appear and the wisps will inflict up to 900 damage before despawning. The timing before they despawn was decreased to 5 seconds.
- Four to six random zombies on the field (except Coffin Zombies, Funeral Crashers, and Gargantuar variants) will turn into Puff-shrooms (Common) and Toadstools (Rare) instantly, similar to Witch Hazel's ability. This event has 30% chance to appear.
- Haunting Zombies on the field will turn into Haunting Ghosts instantly and Skeleton Zombie will appear from the underground instantly. This event has 20% chance to appear.
There are 9 new plants, 12 new zombies, and 30 new levels to discover (20 normal, 5 levels for Path A, and 5 more levels for Path B).
