crush him with a rock, but the resulting skirmish between father and daughter merely infuriates Hunson Abadeer. He assumes that Marceline is trying to kill him to take over the Nightosphere, but she merely wants her bass guitar back. Finn and Marceline attempt one last time to stop Hunson Abadeer, who has now grown huge. Due to his size, Finn is easily defeated. Marceline, infuriated by her father's lack of understanding, storms off. Finn, in a last-ditch effort to save the day, plays back the recording of "The Fry Song". Suddenly, Marceline's father understands why she is upset, and the two reconnect. Finn uses this beat as an opportunity to cut all of the souls free from Hunson Abadeer's "soul sack" before banishing him back to the Nightosphere. Production Storyboarding and design "It Came from the Nightosphere" was written and storyboarded by Adam Muto and Rebecca Sugar, from a story by Merriwether Williams, Steve Little, Patrick McHale, Pendleton Ward, and Thurop Van Orman. The episode was directed by Larry Leichliter, with Patrick McHale serving as the episode's creative director and Nick Jennings serving as the episode's art director. The episode was the third episode of the season produced, but was chosen to be the first aired. When the network announced the start of season two, the episode was not finished. "It Came from the Nightosphere" was the first episode storyboarded by Sugar; according to her, she "did all the monster stuff at the end", whereas Muto "did all the meat in the middle". She later joked that "anything that is actually witty was done by Adam. I’m usually responsible for sex jokes and violence." During the storyboarding process, Sugar and Muto were running low on time, and so the latter asked fellow series artist Jesse Moynihan if he could help storyboard the initial fight between Marceline and her father. The final scene with Abadeer, which featured Finn cutting open his "soul sack" was added by Sugar based on a drawing by Ward that featured Finn flying through the air with two swords. However, she was not sure if the scene would make it into the final product due to its violent nature. In fact, due to the darker and somewhat scary tone of "It Came from the Nightosphere", the Frederator creative developer Eric Homan warned potential watchers through a blog post that the episode might not be suitable for younger
