Halloween has never been a particularly enjoyable time for the Grim Reaper. Last year, his home was taken over by spiders; the year before, his manservant inexplicably died. With such misery around this time of the year, it’s no wonder that the Grim Reaper does his best to forget the Halloween season.

As such, Pumpkin Pete has given himself the task of showing the Grim Reaper just how fun Halloween can be, by throwing him the Halloween party to end all Halloween parties. He just needs your help to do it...

Join Pumpkin Pete and help to organise a truly spook-tacular Halloween party; meet the Grim Reaper’s musical idol; help werewolf backing singers get their throats ready for the big performance; and give an old friend eight hands as you work to get the musical entertainment in order.

This year’s Halloween party is set to be an impressive one and the musical entertainment is certainly not to be missed, so make sure to play it with your background music turned up to 11 and your candles held high.

For those that manage to get Grim back in a rocking Halloween mood, the reward of a bone brooch awaits, as chosen by you in a Guaranteed Content Poll held earlier this year.

Oh, and if you liked Eek, the spider you carried around with you during last Halloween's holiday event, you might want to take her back to Grim's house this year. She's sure to have plenty to say.

Summary:

Where to hunt charm sprites:

Talk to Yaktwee south of the Tree Gnome Stronghold's main gate.

Requirements to hunt charm sprites:

72 Hunter
4,000 coins to buy the necessary equipment from Yaktwee.
Six free inventory spaces are recommended.


In other news...

The Halloween event will be in the game for two weeks, until the end of October.

Oktoberfest has now been removed from the game. We hope you enjoyed it!

Adjusted the recent Make-X change to better handle beast of burden inventories. Make-X will now count items in this inventory, but you'll still need to take them out manually.

We've increased the clickable area for the following Slayer creatures, as they were not always easy to click on: aberrant spectres, banshees, gargoyles, lizards, turoths and warped terrorbirds.

It's not that bad. It's more amusing if you bring Eek along with you. Not as complex as last year though.

The song at the end of the event is good. :)

It was a decent event. Not that great, but not completely boring either.

I enjoyed it. The spider puzzle was a bit infuriating until I worked it out. Initially I thought it was random.
I liked the song and dance at the end. The thing that could have made it more realistic was some of the dancers dueling like in a mosh pit :P

Reminded me of when I saw Ozzy Osborne a few years ago. Brilliant fun.

I quite enjoyed this event. It was pretty cool figuring it out and the song at the end was very cool indeed. I spent about 30 min. at the end just dancing. LOL. I guess I was in the spirit of the moment.

It was fast and gave me plenty of opportunity to practice my questing+fletching skills, so I'm happy.

I enjoyed all of the music references, from black zabeth (black sabbath) to adamanite damsel (Iron Maiden). I also think it was a good event in that with all the players partying at the end, it made you feel like something was really happening in the community. The reward was neat, and I like how the emote goes outside the player box, as it shows how far the game is progressing.

I thought they could have done better but it was entertaining enough. 3/5. Also anybody notice the Edgar Allan Poe references?
When you talk to one of the ravens it says "Nevermore" a famous Poe poem. Also the two ravens names were Edgar and Poe.

I saw that. I swear the ones were named allan and edgar though. Wasn't allan next to the tub (spider queen), and edgar (the one that said Nevermore) on the second floor?
