Special event-themed loot may be found as loot on some monsters:

Trick or Treat
There are 5 new common treats this year. Simply walk up to an NPC and say "Trick or Treat" and then target them.
Beware - NPC's may opt to play a trick on players instead of giving them a treat. However, this year there will be no death involved but players may still be surprised at what can happen.
If you have Grandmaster (100) Begging there is a small chance that you will be given one of two new rare items.
Randomly, a character may suddenly yell out "MAKE IT STOP!"

Instead of an Evil Twin which would attack you in years past, a Naughty Twin may appear which may:
- Teleport you to a random moongate on same facet.
- Steal some of your candy
- Temporarily polymorph you into a Pile of Maggots.
Recurring Tricks

- Bleeding profusely (harmless)
- Polymorph (as per the Magery polymorph)
- "Haunted" Each step the player takes will play a random sound.
Mystery Quest
A new quest starting at the Court of Truth in Yew: Speak with Jasper the Inspector there.
- Can be done completely in either Felucca or Trammel.
- Every step required in the chain, skipping steps will keep you from completing the event.
- May be repeated.
- Participating characters must be 15 days old (except for Test Center).
For full step by step details of this quest (including lots of spoilers) see: Halloween 2009 Quest.
Pumpkin Patch
Farmers are once again harvesting pumpkins this season. Pumpkins can be picked up from most any farm land. Some of them may be double-clicked and thrown as a fire bomb. Additionally, the named pumpkins may be used with the Cooking skill to prepare food items requiring pumpkin. The pumpkins can weigh anywhere from 3-25 stones and very rarely a Jack O' Lantern will spawn.
Jack O' Lanterns
Very rarely, a named pumpkin will spawn as a large Jack O' Lantern with a carved face. They may spawn in a variety of designs and can be locked down in a player's home and left lit or unlit.
Named Pumpkins
Pumpkins are named after devs, GM's and EM's.
