¡Boo!
Hi Paul:-)
I believe it translates the same into Spanish....but don't forget to put the inverted exclamation mark (¡) first.
And a good ¡Boo! to you too:-))

Boo = Buu
The only problem being that in Spanish there is not such a craze about Halloween, so .....if you want an onomatopoeic sound, there you have it...but it could also be "yaiks" or "shuuu"... or any other like it. Just don't forget that two "oo" as in "boo" has to become "buuu" if written in Spanish. Hope it helps.

¡bu!
Onomatopeya típica en cuentos infantiles, un simple ¡bu!

¡bu!
la que más me gusta a mí es la de mtpringle, ya que "boo" en español es como "bo", con una sola "o". Sin embargo, si pronuncias "boo" el sonido es "bu", y de hecho, para asustar, se dice esto (además de otas cosas, claro)
¡buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
