A Candy Bag works similar to a Backpack and is used to store Halloween Candies, Halloween Trinkets and Halloween Decorations, as well as regular Trinkets. It can be crafted with 6 Cut Grass. A Candy Bag can store up to 14 stacks of Candies, Trinkets and Decorations.

WX-78

The Mad Scientist Lab is a craftable Structure introduced in the 2018 version of the event. It is found in the Prototypers & Stations Filter and Structures Filter and requires two Electrical Doodads and two Cut Stone to craft. It is always available to craft and does not require prototyping.

Standing next to the Mad Scientist Lab grants players access to the Mad Science Filter where they can conduct several experiments to produce potions. Each of these experiments causes the player to lose a certain amount of their Sanity.

Most of these experiments have several possible outcomes, however, they are all of positive effect for the players. As the cooking process takes a certain amount of time, their results are not immediately available for usage.

Ghost Decoration Halloween Decorations

For Halloween Decorations, see Hallowed Nights/Quotes.

Halloween Decorations are Halloween exclusive items introduced in the 2018 version of the event. They can be found scattered around the world or by harvesting Tumbleweeds and digging up Graves. Each of them stack up to 40 items.

They cannot be traded with the Pig King, and can only be put on Totally Normal Trees, serving no other purpose than decoration.

The following Decorations are available, and their spawn codes are "halloween_ornament_1...6".

Totally Normal Bats

When chopping Trees, there is a small chance that a swarm of bats will spawn. They will fly around the screen, causing the player to lose 10 sanity and making them unable to move for a few seconds. Drinking a Phobic Experiment will negate the sanity loss. This feature was introduced in 2018.

Prototype Tips

  • It is a good idea to trade Halloween Trinkets with the Pig King with several empty Inventory slots, since the Pig King is generally located in a Pig Village and Pigs will try to eat the dropped Halloween Candies when they spot them.

Placeholder Trivia

  • The Monkey Paw, one of the Halloween Trinkets, is a reference to the horror short story The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs.
  • The Halloween Trinkets and Candies added in 2017 are inspired by Klei Entertainment's other games Griftlands, Hot Lava and Oxygen Not Included.
    • The Binoculars, Lone Glove, Snail Scale, and Otherworldly Jawbreaker are references to Griftlands.
    • The Goop Canister, Toy Cobra, Crocodile Toy, and Lava Pepper are references to Hot Lava.
    • The Broken Terrarium, Odd Radio, Broken Hairdryer, and Candy Lice are references to Oxygen Not Included.
  • Wigfrid can eat most of the Halloween Candies but refuses to eat Not-So-Candy Corn, Raisins, "Raisins", and Lava Peppers.
  • Trinket 46 used to be the Duplicated Pumpkin, as seen in the game files from earlier, but it was changed to the Broken Hairdryer upon release.
  • The Candy Bag resembles the character Oogie Boogie from the Nightmare Before Christmas movie.
