'''Halloween''' is a festival celebrated on 31 October each year, descended from traditions honouring the departed. The holiday is themed around horror and Gothic fiction, and it is a traditional time to [[wikipedia:Jack-o'-latern|carve pumpkins with spooky faces]] and go [[trick-or-treating]].
[[Image:Trick or Treat.gif|right|frame|Halloween pets Trick-or-Treating]]


It is celebrated in [[Neopia]], where it is associated with the [[Haunted Woods]]. Celebrations include events like the [[Haunted Faire]] and Halloween-themed [[Random Contest]]s. The last [[Neopian Times]] before Halloween is usually themed around spooky content. [[Count Von Roo]] and [[Edna]] the witch are more available on this day: they can be challenged in the [[Battledome]] at any time, not just between 12 am and 1 am, and [[Deadly Dice]] can be played at any time. On Halloween, all users use the Haunted Woods [[site theme]]. It can be unlocked to use at any time by visiting the site between 11:59:00 pm and 11:59:59 pm NST on 31 October each year.
Besides '''Halloween''' (also known as ''All Hallows' Eve'') being a spooky day to wander [[Neopia]], it's also a colour your [[Neopet]] can be painted. Each species of Neopets has their own unique appearance. Most pets are based upon traditional figures such as vampires, witches or demons. There are a few that resemble specific Neopian citizens. The more notable ones are [[Moehog]]s (resembling [[Dr. Frank Sloth|Sloth]]), [[Lupe]]s (look like [[Werelupe]]s) and [[Blumaroo]]s (look exactly like [[Count Von Roo]]).  


It is also one of the many [[colour]]s players may paint their [[Neopets]] with the ''Halloween Paint Brush''. It is a colour that can also be obtained via the [[Lab Ray]], a completed [[Fountain Faerie Quest]], or an appropriate [[Morphing Potion]]. Halloween Neopets tend to be styled after traditional spooky characters such as demons, skeletons, vampires, witches, and werewolves. A few are styled after Neopian monsters and characters - for example, the Halloween [[Yurble]] is dressed as a [[Tax Beast]] and the [[Poogle]] as the [[Snowbeast]]. The colour is available for [[Petpet]]s either through the [[Petpet Lab Ray]] or the ''Halloween Petpet Paint Brush''.

The plot was designed to coincide with Halloween. This was the only time the cursed [[Neovia|Neovian]] citizens could appear. Halloween [[Paint Brush|Paint Brushes]] were among the prizes that users could uncover during the grave digging portion of the plot.

==Bonuses==
*On October 31st, the Halloween sidebar theme is available to all players all day.
*The sidebar can only be unlocked by refreshing anywhere on site at 11:59pm - 11:59:59pm.
==Controversy==
Many players have expressed a concern that they are sleeping during the time that the Halloween sidebar is unlocked, such as UK players who would have to be up early in the morning. However, TNT are yet to respond with any news or ways around getting the sidebar theme.
