Be weary of the Dutchman...it's that time of year again!

Octerror Fest 2025, our oldest event, will last from October 13th to October 31st. This will be the 15th edition and we have a lot planned to celebrate. The Candy Contest will return, where each game and activity during the event rewards you pieces of candy. Whoever has the most pieces of candy gathered by the end of the month will be crowned the Candy Champion of Halloween and receive spooktacular prizes! Ghost Powers will return from last year, which allow you to use three unique powers to give you an advantage in certain games and steal candy. Here’s a guide to the main activities to expect:

• Stop What You Are Doing - Halloween Edition: For the 58th SWYAD, dress up for any Halloween theme you wish. Reserve a name in this thread or via Discord if you haven't already. Anyone who signs up automatically gets 10 pieces of candy on the scoreboard.
• Hooky 6: 10 Years Later: Hooky, our classic murder mystery game, will be making a special return to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The Flying Dutchman could not let the series die and like Hollywood, is giving it a ghostly resurrection. Beware of the Ghost Fisherman. Unlike the past editions where it was contained in a roleplaying thread, this will work differently in that it spans the whole event and every regular game will be a part of it. One user will be assigned Ghost Fisherman and it will be their job to kill everyone participating. Whoever comes in first each game will be safe from death for that night and has a chance to take out the ghost. Note that there will be no killings on nights without games. You will also lose candy on the scoreboard if slain. Can the Ghost Fisherman's wrath be stopped? If you'd like to be a part of Hooky, sign up because it will immediately start the day the event begins.
• Cards Against Humanity: A spooky card game will occur every Friday night at 7pm EST!
• QueUp Parties: Jam out to your favorite Halloween songs every Friday night at 8pm EST, and play the secret song to win candy!
• SpongeBob Pictionary: Pictionary will have spooky games every Saturday night at 7pm EST! One theme will be about candy.
• SpongeCraft Frontiers: A SpongeCraft Frontiers event will be held October 18th at 8pm EST, which will be a Haloween building contest!
• Discord Activity: A Discord Activity will be held on October 25th at 8pm EST!
• Jackbox: On Monday nights at 7pm EST, play in terrifying Jackbox games on Discord!
• Halloween Trivia Contest: Returning yet again, in this six part contest, you'll compete against other users on Kahoot to see who knows the most about Halloween! Whoever has the most points by the end will be the Halloween nerd. The games will occur on Wednesday nights. One of the themes will be Creepypastas.
• Flash Archive Tournaments: Play in haunted SpongeBob games using JCM's archive every Thursday night at 7pm EST!
• Other Activities: Hunt for tombstones in the scavenger hunt and replacing the Scary Story Contest is the Candy Creator Contest, where you can invent your own candy!
• Octerror Minigames: Past Octerror minigames return, and there will be a new one known as Graveyard Maze!

Both the forums and Discord will receive awesomely terrifying Halloween makeovers. The default skin will be Titans of the Tide themed, promoting the newest SpongeBob game releasing next month! We hope people enjoy this Octerror Fest and that this is one of our best ever!
