Haunted Woods

Earlier map of the Haunted Woods

The Haunted Woods is a spooky Halloween-themed world within Neopets, introduced on 31st October 2000. It is filled with many evil and wretched things, and home to Eliv Thade, Edna and many other villains of Neopia.

The Deserted Fairground is a part of the Haunted Woods. It hosts a few shops, as well as many games to play (like Test Your Strength and the Wheel of Misfortune), although many of the games are rigged, and so are almost unwinnable.

Yooyuball

The Haunted Woods Yooyuball team subscribes to the old saying "defense wins championships," and has built its team to shut down forwards and force mistakes which create easy scoring opportunities for them, requires plenty of discipline and determination from the other team to defeat them. The Haunted Woods won the Altador Cup of 2006.

With the retirement of veteran defender Chelo Binay in 2007, it was questioned whether the defensive unit of the team would be as good as last years. If the playing of newcomer Autrey Fulse was any indication, Haunted Woods fans with hopes of back-to-back titles wouldn't need to worry. However, the favourites going into last year's tournament were Altador, Faerieland, and Mystery Island, so it's uncertain how the year would go. A disappointment to Haunted Woods fans was a drop from a championship to 7th, then continuing a gradual slide from grace with a 8th in 08 and 10th in 09

Team positions are as follows (bolded notes the Team Captain):

Year	Goalkeeper	Left Defender	Centre Defender	Right Defender	Centre Forward
2006	Fanetti	Krell Vitor	Chelo Binay	Wan Dirx	Zo Junior
2007			Autrey Fulse
2008
2009
2010			"Brains" Mortigan

Climate

The weather is relatively cool and fairly wet in the summer, with plenty of rain. It is very wet in the spring and fall, with rain or snow almost every day, and it is very cold in the winter with blizzards and strong winds.
