Today is the last day of the Treehouse of Horror event. You have less than twenty-four hours to collect GOO, purchase limited-time content, and finish-up Halloween-themed quest lines. Before the clock expires, take this opportunity to stock-up on a few things before they are pulled from the shop.





Decorations

Players often forget about the Halloween decorations that you can buy with your spendable cash because there is so much else going on. So before the event expires take a moment to decide if you want to stock-up on any of these decorations. Sure, all of the trees look dead now, but once things go back to normal their foliage will return. So if you have a spooky corner of Springfield that uses regular trees, you may want to consider replacing them with dead trees.

If you have the funds, don’t forget about the Snarling Zombie, priced at $50,000.



GOO, Gremlins, Ghost Bombs

Once the event ends, all of these things will disappear. Hopefully you were able to make it to 10,000 GOO to earn all ten personal prizes. If you’re close to earning a bonus level from GOO, make sure you achieve your goal before the clock runs out. Also, if you have a bunch of Gremlins to send out, try to find a friend who still needs help earning GOO. No one is sure what will happen to any remaining Ghost Bombs you have, so you may want to hold onto them in case they get converted into something useful, but much like last year’s Halloween candy, they’ll probably just disappear.

Premium Stuff

If you’re a completionist, this event definitely would have put a dent in your donut supply. After today, everything on this list will cease to be available. Sure, some of it may come back next Halloween, but I wouldn’t count on the Ghost Zapper to reappear since its usefulness is directly linked to this event.

Today is your last chance to buy the following premium items from the shop:

NAME PRICE INCLUDES Ghost Zapper 60 Booberella 100 Ray Gun 150 Kodos Ancient Burial Ground 60 Mausoleum 60 Springfield Cemetery 75 Pet Cemetery 70 Cauldron 75 Marge The Witch The Raven 30 Bad Dream House 85 Freakmobile 35 Crazy Zombie 12 Senile Zombie 12 Devil Flanders 75 Talking Krusty Doll 60 Burns Monster 25 Wailing Wall 50 Spooky Wall 1 House of Evil 45 Heck House 40

Kodos

You have to buy the Ray Gun and shoot down Kodos if you want to add her to your town. After the event ends she’ll stop hovering over your skies, and you’ll miss your chance to add this alien to your town. The same thing happened last year with Kang, if you didn’t get the Ray Gun and shoot him down, he disappeared when Springfield went back to normal.

Strongman Homer

If you haven’t received this costume yet, just check the Simpson House. All you have to do is answer a trivia question to get the costume. If you can’t check the attic, you probably already have this costume for Homer. You should pick it up if you haven’t already, it’s free.

Quests

There is a strong possibility that any unfinished Halloween quests will disappear from your task book once the event ends. Some of the ancillary quests might remain, but if you haven’t finished “The Ghost in the Machine-based App” by the end of the day, odds are you won’t get the chance to. This is bad news for anyone hoping to score six free donuts by having Mr Burns “Confess” during Pt. 14, or for those who didn’t get a chance to add the Freak Show Tent to their town.

Conclusion

This event has managed to sustain itself for over a month, without getting to a point where things felt stale. The amount of quests has been overwhelming, especially for Homer. The incentive to collect GOO remained a priority throughout the event between personal prizes, community prizes, and the opportunity to earn tons of free donuts. Overall this was a very successful event, but it will be refreshing for things to go back to normal on Thursday.
