Moonset (noun) is the setting of the moon below the horizon. Indicating that the ghosts, goblins and vampires have gone to bed.
This word has particular poetry to it - a realization that it's not just the sun that rises and sets. In the Doctor Who episode "Smith and Jones", the Doctor and Martha team up when the hospital they're in is transported inexplicably to the moon. At one point the Doctor marvels; they are standing in the "earth light." How beautiful a simple change of perspective can be.
