Though I know I should be weary, still I venture someplace scary.
Ghostly haunting I turn loose, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

OMG guys, this is the most awesome Halloween costume from Death Row Designs! The head is a great likeness of Beetlejuice from the movie but it's slightly larger, so reminds me of a Halloween mask. I love it. When I made an appearance as Beetlejuice at "Resting Place," I was an instant celebrity. lol. It's Halloween done right. There are 2 mesh heads, normal and smiling, and also a skin texture version you can wear on your shape without the head.

Death Row has many excellent full avatars ready to go right out the box, and many accessories to help piece together a kickass Halloween costume. Keep checking the lucky chairs and slap those Midnight Mania boards. There is also a Mini-Hunt for 24 pumpkins with prizes from all the stores on the DRD sim. Some pumpkins are decoys, so if you find a empty pumpkin, keep looking. Death Row just announced a photography contest too. Swing by DRD and bask in the Halloween coolness.

The Ghost Hunters's Guide to Horror

(click to enlarge)

Hi, the name's Raven. I hunt ghosts. For me everyday is Halloween, but when the sun dip low on the horizon and the leaves begin to fall, I get more work than I can handle. So many "dearly departed" come back to haunt the living. Maybe you guys can help me this year and go investigate areas with suspicious activity. Below is a guide of the current horrifying hot spots. ....Oh and more thing, if do you run into a ghost, dont try to handle it on your own. Leave that to the professionals unless you're just dying to join their ranks.

Sometimes lucky like winning the Panda Hamster on the first spin, sometimes unlucky spending more Ls than I will admit to get the Grandfather's Camera, and even a failed attempt to wear girl's *MonCheri* SequinPants (*hopes there will be glam boy version in the future*).  Keep an eye on The Arcade Blog for the next round in December.

News Event: RMK Gothic Halloween 2

(click to enlarge)

Elegance in All Hallow's Eve with a lovely dress that comes with a broom, pose tree, and pumpkin cart from World's End Garden as part of the RMK Halloween storyteller quest. For the men, the Prince of Phantom in purple. This suit can be worn in a variety of ways. It comes with long pant, and knickers, jacket or vest. Topped off with a cool new monocle from Air. I feel like a Land Baron in this outfit. When ten percent of the grid suddenly went poof this week, that was me, Prankster Land Baron Dev, pulling a little trick or treat on you. *winks*

You begin your journey in the garden. Touch the storybook at the landing point for the HUD to start a quest to get back something very important to you that was stolen by a naughty spirit.

Some are easy, some take practice to get right (like skydiving), and some will have searching all over the sim tiny ghosts or pumpkins. There are 20 quests in all, each one is different. Once you complete a mission, you get a piece of what was stolen from you. 17 prizes are randomly dropped with gifts for girls and guys. And by the last quest, you will have earned a cool skeleton avatar! Dev highly recommends this event with two thumbs up.

BONUS: Devi's hunt tips:
1) Convert your avatar to the provided ghost one. You will be able to hunt much faster and combat sim lag since this is a hugely popular event and many people are there.
2) Take a friend, or make friends. Some challenges require two people to complete.
3) A wearable translator Hud will help you talk to non-English speaking people at the event.
4) If the sim is full, try coming in a less busy time such as 3pm SL.
5) If you run into trouble because of lag, go ahead and complete all quests. Use the white "POST" box next to the storyteller book at the landing. Be sure to keep your Hud! Event organizers will help you. Also the full skeleton is available on last quest.

Good luck! Have fun!
