Random Saturday Ep 06: Halloween Den Tips


AJ has just recently released the yearly Night of the Phantoms Update, and thus, I decided to follow the theme with a post on how to make a decent Halloween Den.

1. Do Not Use these items in your den
- Phantom Mech.
Why? Except for a few pieces, it’s all very bright, colorful, and shiny. It’s out of place with the texture of the rest of the Halloween items.

- Bright Items (Most Spring/Easter items, pool things, Epic Wonders things, etc.)
Why? Bright things lessen the coolness factor. Would you rather have a haunted house den with or without sports cars, Epic Trains, and gold bars? You generally want to go for darkness.

- Unrelated Items (Items from other seasons, events, holidays, etc.)
Why? Because they’re unrelated. They are made for their respective event, and usually they don’t mesh well with Halloween items. (Note that certain crops are excepted from this. Nothing wrong with pumpkins growing in the yard of your Haunted House.)

2. Where to get cool items?
- Adventures. Even if Phantom Mech looks weird, there are other adventures with softer dark things. They don’t even have to be specifically phantom. Lava Crystals, Fire Pits and Phantom Statues are all cool, non-Mechy items. Bitter Sweets is not usually a good place to get Night of the Phantoms items, since it gives out mostly candy, but I think there are a few Halloween clothing items for members in it.

- Parties. I’m talking about the ones AJ hosts here. They generally have a lot of cool items there, and although many are members-only, there are a few items (skull tombstone, dusty books) that are not.

- Shops. Around Halloween, most stores release halloween-related items. You’ll want to take a spin around all of the shops, including the underwater ones and the less-visited ones. There are also a few shops with year-round items that work with Halloween dens, like the Balloosh dock store, and certain items can just be colored black or gray.

3. Types of Den
If possible, get the Haunted Mansion. It’s a very cool den, themed for Halloween. If this is not possible, normal houses or Sunken Ships work. Really, any den works for it, as long as it isn’t something like the Princess Castle, with shiny pink things making it up.

4. Basic Things
-Put trees, plants, etc. outside, and put furniture inside. Fairly obvious.
-Experiment with where things go. On the wall, on the floor, floating, etc.

5. Have fun! I really can’t give you a guide for how to place the items, let your imagination run wild!
