PetVille Shocker and Necro-Dancer
Zynga's zest for Halloween seems to know no bounds as its games keep pumping out the cutest spookiest stuff around and it's time for PetVille's second pass. We first saw the new, mix-and-match Halloween costumes for our pets to get dolled up in, but now it's time to give them somewhere to parade around in on the big night.
This update, found in the Lawn and Garden store, comes with a slew of new decorations and characters to collect, the best of which obviously being "Shocker" and the Necro-Dancer. In an homage to the greatest Halloween song ever written, Shocker, for 105 Pet Cash (about $8), will prance around your yard in an expectantly familiar red leather outfit (I guess it's not too soon after all) as his face transforms between human and zombie. The Necro-Dancer, for just 48 Pet Cash or around $4, will essentially follow suit. I guess everyone could use a back-up dancer.
Check behind the break for the rest of this limited-time collection.

FishVille Halloween Items: Turn your tank into a zombie-filled cemetery
FishVille Halloween Items
If the thriller nights in PetVille weren't enough for you, Zynga has introduced four new Halloween-themed items to FishVille for your frightful enjoyment. We imagine this is only the first wave of decor to come in time for Halloween, but no guarantees. Unfortunately, all of these items cost Sand Dollars, so that will prove to be a barrier to entry for these cool decorations.
Zombie: 12 Sand Dollars (about $2.50), grants 3,600 XP
Wide Tombstone: 4 Sand Dollars (about $.80), grants 1,200 XP
Halloween Wallpaper: 10 Sand Dollars ($2)
Halloween Gravel: 5 Sand Dollars ($1)
Now that's not so bad, is it? For a zombie that erupts from the depths of your tank gravel to feed on your living fish, $2.50 isn't asking for much. Alright, it doesn't do all that, but a man can dream, can't he?
Will you be turning your tank into the next Night of the Living Dead set? What other zombified items would you like to see in-game?

CityVille Halloween Act 2 Goals made easier with smaller requirements
After releasing Act 2 goals in CityVille's Halloween Monster event, Zynga received plenty of complaints from users stating that the goals were simply too hard to complete. Now, the team behind the game has announced that the goals are easier to complete, so we're here to tell you if that really is the case.
First and foremost, the first goal - In Good Spirits - now requires you to have just five Monster Community Buildings in your town, regardless of what they are. This is just half of the originally required total of 10 Monster Community Buildings. For this particular goal, the Pumpkin / Jack O'Lantern mastery task remains the same.
Next, for Grim Sleeper, you used to be required to collect from your Haunted Hotel five times. This hotel requires tons of goods to operate, and simply takes a long time to run out of them, so waiting for it to be ready five times was time consuming, to say the least. Now, you'll only have to collect from the Haunted Hotel three times.
Lastly, At Death's Door has been changed with the most helpful update yet. Instead of being forced to have a whopping 9,000 Monsters living in our cities, the number has been dropped to 6,000 Monsters. Sure, that's still a ton of Monsters (especially considering that we don't even get to keep them afterwards; they'll just turn into regular citizens), but if you're interested in unlocking the Werewolf Lodge, or eventually Dracula's Castle, that's something you'll simply have to do (or pay City Cash to skip it).
With the entirety of Act 3's goals still up in the air (read: unreleased), it could be that the final population requirement has been switched to 9,000 Monsters instead. Either way, I can see Act 3 being just as difficult as these goals originally were, and even still are, so make sure to keep checking back with us for a complete look at those upcoming goals and how to finish them before it's too late.
Check out the rest of our Halloween 2011 coverage right here.
Should users that completed these goals before the changes be compensated for the extra time / coins they spent? Did you finish them before the changes, or will you actually try now that the requirements have been changed?

CityVille Demented Dentist Community Building: Everything you need to know
Still looking for a way to add to your Monster population in CityVille, without building the same set of Community Buildings over and over again? Why not take a look at the new Demented Dentist Community Building, available for 25,000 coins in the store?
This one's frame takes 10 energy to complete, and from there, you're left collecting items with the help of friends. Here's what you'll need:
4 Monster Drills
4 City Seals
4 Dentist Chairs
4 Tooth Pastes
4 Toothbrushes
If you're lucky enough to already have the City Seals on hand, you'll only have to gather the other 16 items. For the Monster Drills and Tooth Brushes, these items are earned through individual item requests sent to your friends. As for the Dentist Chairs and Tooth Pastes, these can be earned by posting a general news item to your wall.
Once you collect all of the necessary items, you'll have a Community Building that will support up to 1,500 additional Monsters living in your city. If you're willing to spend some City Cash, you can purchase homes that will instantly fill that total (and then some), or, you can stick to the coin options for housing and raise your Monster population more slowly. Still, remember that this Halloween event will only last until the holiday itself, at which point all of the Monsters living in your city will be transformed back to normal citizens!
With that being the case, it calls into question just how worthwhile these buildings are (or, at least the quest for earning more and more Monsters), but at least you'll be able to keep these buildings after the fact for decoration and memory. That's worth something, right?

Pioneer Trail Ghost Town feature coming soon [Video]
Way back in January, Pioneer Trail players (then FrontierVille) were able to take a survey detailing potential new themes for the game. One of those themes just so happened to be "Ghost Town." While it may now be October, it looks like that theme is finally coming around, and will likely comprise the greatest portion of the game's Halloween event this month. While we haven't received much official news in text, Zynga has released a preview trailer for this Ghost Town theme, which it's calling a "Mega-Feature!"
The trailer [embedded below] shows us that the Ghost Town will be more than just an item theme in the game's store; it will apparently be a location we can visit and complete tasks in. The story of Ghost Town sees the evil Mayor Witherwood placing a curse on the town, which has apparently resulted in some... unusual animals and crops being developed. There looks to be some sort of zombie corn with glowing pink eyes, a broken clock tower, Frankenstein's Monster trees, tombstones a plenty (including what looks to be an Indian Burial Ground and ghost frogs) and even floating, zombie / ghost chickens!
We're told that we'll use "your Sharpshooter, Mad Scientist and Shaman" in tasks that resemble those out on the Pioneer Trail map proper. If I'm making an educated guess, it's likely that these positions will be filled by friends, with your Sharpshooter being able to go out and hunt undead bears and other monsters to earn Hides, the mad scientist can "tackle" man-eating plants for Potions, and the Shaman will seek out ghosts and bless them for Spirits. Your own character can also complete tasks, rewarding you with Charms (from rocks, shrubs and buildings). You'll be able to use the hides, potions and spirits to help the locals in Ghost Town, with the ultimate goal being to earn enough keys to open the Mayor's Mansion and bring him to justice.
As for the Charms, you'll use those to earn special, exclusive prizes like decorations along the way. The more Charms you collect, the more prizes you'll apparently wind up with, giving you incentive to play around in Ghost Town for days and even weeks after the feature launches. Unfortunately, we just don't know when that will be.
Either way, we'll make sure to keep track of all things Ghost Town in the Pioneer Trail, and will let you know when you can embark on this spooky adventure in your own game, so keep checking back!
Are you excited to travel to Ghost Town in Pioneer Trail? What sorts of prizes are you hoping to earn along the way? Sound off in the comments.

FarmVille Halloween Items: Nightmare Unicorn, Fire Peach Tree and more
With tonight's FarmVille update, we see a slew of new items launch in the current limited edition Halloween item theme. If you've yet to pull your Halloween items out of storage, now's the time, as you've got plenty of items to further flesh out your spooky graveyard or ghost town on your farm(s). As usual, we're here to give you a complete rundown of the items available this evening, so let's get started!
Trees
Fire Peach Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Giant Fire Peach Tree - 14 Farm Cash
Jack O Lantern Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Giant Jack O Lantern Tree - 14 Farm Cash
For tree collectors, tonight's update is a big one as it sees the release of four new trees, along with four corresponding mastery signs. As you'd expect, the two Peach Trees are a pair, with the giant version being available for free via Mystery Seedlings. Likewise, the Giant Jack O Lantern Tree is available as a Mystery Seedling as well, so feel free to skip purchasing it and only invest in the Jack O Lantern Tree. As for mastery, all of these trees come with the same stats, and will be mastered after 75, 150 and 225 harvests each.
Animals
Nightmare (Pony) - 26 Farm Cash
Nightmare Unicorn - 30 Farm Cash
Nightmare Sheep - 20 Farm Cash
Nightmare Cow - 24 Farm Cash
All of these animals have one thing in common, other than having "Nightmare" in their names: they are all a dark brown/black animal with some kind of flames for "hair." In the case of the Nightmare Unicorn, the flames are an awesome bright blue color, while the other three animals have orange flames. Keep in mind, farmers, that the Nightmare Pony (officially called just the "Nightmare") was originally released in last year's Halloween theme, and then again in the Birthday event last June. Make sure you don't already have one in your collection before spending anymore Farm Cash on the animal.
Buildings
Ghost Inn - 30 Farm Cash
Yet again, we're seeing a fairly awesome Halloween building being released for Farm Cash (unfortunately). This one is a few shades of purple and has glowing windows. Perhaps I'm just partial (my favorite color is purple, after all), but this one is definitely temping my wallet.
Decorations
Raven - 18 Farm Cash
Trick or Treat - 15 Farm Cash
Misty Waterfall - 18 Farm Cash
Skeleton Flamingo - 30,000 coins
Black Rose Planter - 8,000 coins
Dreadful Fence - 5,000 coins
If you already own a few of the Black Rose items from previous themes, know that this one is a different item that you can add to your collection. As for the Dreadful Fence, this is a re-released item that would make the perfect accompaniment to any Graveyard area you have setup on your farm with previously released tombstones.
Avatar Costumes
Ugly Duckling - 50 Farm Cash
Duck - 45 Farm Cash
Black Sheep - 40 Farm Cash
Sheep - 45 Farm Cash
Pink Cow - 35 Farm Cash
Unfortunately, if you want your avatar to be dressed up as any of the most basic animals from FarmVille, you're going to have to shell out a ton of Farm Cash to do so. Hopefully, we'll see additional costumes released in the future - even if they're re-released ones - that are a bit cheaper.
As usual, these new items come with a two week time limit, giving you plenty of time to purchase Farm Cash if you need to, and enough time to pull out your other Halloween items to see just which of these new items go best with those already in your collection. Just remember to go shopping sooner, rather than later, so you don't forget about these new items entirely (trust me, I've been guilty of that more than once).

FarmVille: Halloween Black Belgian horse available for coins
If you're a Horse collector in FarmVille, you'll likely be happy with the following news: a new Horse called the Black Belgian is now available in the game's store for coins. However, unless you've been saving up, you may not be able to afford its high price tag. How high? How does the million coin mark sound to your wallet? Good? Then you're just fine, as that's its exact price.
Interestingly, this Black Belgian horse is marked in the Halloween limited edition item theme, but it doesn't do anything to scream "Halloween" other than being black. Still, I suppose this gives Zynga a way to bring more attention to it in the store, as its part of the theme that will only last for a limited time. The Black Belgian will only be available for the next two weeks, but you'll receive one heck of a bonus for purchasing it: 10,000 XP.
At that point, you can either place the Horse into your Horse Paddock to be able to collect from it once daily, or you can keep it outside on display and collect from it once every three days. Remember, if you store it, you have a chance to breed a Black Belgian Foal, which would of course be even more limited. Whatever the case, make sure to head into the store sooner, rather than later, if you have any interest whatsoever in purchasing one of these expensive Horses for your farm(s).
Will you purchase the Black Belgian Horse for the whopping price tag of 1 million coins? Sound off in the comments.
