It's that time of year again so gather your treat bags!

Call for all Haunted Houses, because that's our Halloween theme!
This year we are building a harrowing town to host our "trick or treat" event, so be sure to make a scary home to hold all your ghosts!

To enter, head on over to /visit bunnicula and pick a plot

This is a survival contest, but to sweeten the deal, participants who complete a build will recieve one super special Halloween themed head, or "mask" as we like to call it! As always, participants will also recieve a complimentary star to which players can purchase fun extras from the /menu!

As for winners—The greater the end result, overall participation, and care given to our haunted town will determine the capacity of contest prizes, or in other words "better town=better prizes :3" and the more people who join and participate, the better the loot for the winning houses!

Contest Rules:

1.) We're mainly looking for haunted real estate, but anything Halloween themed goes. Be creative!

2.) Any unfinished builds by October 28th will be considered "abandoned" and will be adjusted by staff to fit the part. Try your best, but don't stress!

3.) Redstoners—by all means make a house full of tricks, but nothing is allowed that's designed to kill players. No real ghosts! Participants who do not follow this rule will be disqualified.

4.) DO NOT delete your auto-claim plot sign! They will be used later for judging!

Categories:

Ghostly: This entry is considered to fit the best "haunted" feel to their house, and should be a home that gives anybody the creeps!

Scary: This entry is right down any redstoner's alley and should be house of long-lasting fright, but don't scare anybody to death!

Punny: This entry is a creative spin on dread and the Halloween spirit, so make a house that fits the bill... I mean shrill!

Community favorite: When all is said and mortar laid, you can vote for your favorite haunted house and help pick a community winner!

Quality of interior, exterior, materials, and style will help you achieve higher marks, and by improving the town you will not only qualify for category prizes but you'll also benefit from the Halloween event at the end of the month. We'll have a slew of goodies for everyone's trick or treat bags, so be sure to enter and stop into town!

This contest will be ongoing until the cut-off date of October 28th, so be sure to join the Nightmare Square! As residents move in, the town will be ever growing and residents may request specific Halloween themed decorations outside the boundary of their plot (ie. pumpkin patches, gravestones, bonfires, wheat fields+scarecrow, etc.) Just leave a petition sign with your request!

If you want your plot extended, contact staff for consideration. Also! Be wary of your surroundings in town! It's been mostly hostile mob-proofed but there are still some slimes wandering around... Happy hunting, and remember to have fun!
