Happy Island Halloween Items: Your happily haunted island resort awaits

As the big night draws near, more games are revealing their Halloween item sets and CrowdStar's Happy Island is right on time for the costume party. A new set of attractions and decorations have made their way into the game for varying amounts of coins and Facebook Credits. Some of the new attractions--which are in limited supply--collect as many as 2150 coins regularly and some, like "Freddie's House," make obvious nods at the pantheon of slasher films.

Happy Island Halloween Decorations
Almost every one of the new decorations goes for coins, with one exception being the "BOOOOoooo!!!!" item, which asks for a measly 13 Facebook Credits, or $1.30. All in all, these items aren't too hard on the wallet, costing just coins and $6.30 total, and will surely turn your island into the fright fest it deserves to be this season. Come to think of it, some of the items from the Anime Collection might be fitting for your island on Hallow's Eve as well.

What attraction will you be spooking up the place with this season? What other attractions would you have liked to see?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Giant Jack-O'-Lantern collection event coming for Halloween?

My, my is Zynga ever predictable. It looks like a third Jack-O'-Lantern collection event will be coming to FarmVille to celebrate Halloween this year, asking users to collect pieces of candy or other themed items (called "Treats") in order to trade them in for collectible items inside a new "Giant Jack-O'-Lantern."

If the menu below is anything to go by, then FarmVilleFreak has discovered that the menu will allow us to not only collect Treats to fill a meter (as we're used to), but we might also be able to purchase the prizes themselves directly from the menu, if asking for Treats is too time-consuming for your liking (this could also just be a link to purchase Treats in bulk). Either way, keep in mind that some of the text in this window is a placeholder, as we'll of course be able to redeem our Treats for themed items, and not just six different "Purple Valentine Cows." Still, this gives us something to look forward to in the long run, as we know we'll be able to interact with friends to earn as many Treats possible within the few weeks that will likely be available to do so.

As for the Treats themselves, it looks like we'll be able to collect Candy Corn, wrapped pieces of Candy and perhaps even small Jack-O'-Lanterns to fill our Giant Jack-O'-Lantern to the brim. It would be great to see a return of the Haunted House as well, giving us free Candy daily, but a new item released for the same purpose also wouldn't be an entirely bad thing.


We'll make sure to keep an eye on all of the Halloween festivities in FarmVille, and will make sure you're the first to know when this Giant Jack-O'-Lantern (or Halloween collection event in general) kicks off in the game.
