Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After completing Too Cool for Ghoul Marge Simpson — back at the Halloween store... again? Don't you start with me, Helen! And get your bony hands off that breakdancing skeleton. I saw it first. You're a little too late to the Halloween party — it's mine! Sorry, ladies! You snooze you lose! I didn't know "You snooze you lose" rules applied at the Halloween store. They apply everywhere! Over my dead body! That rule can be arranged too. Maybe then you wouldn't need the skeleton, Helen! Task: "Collect Halloween Candy" (x115). Task: "Make Moms Shop for Bigger Halloween Decorations" (x3). The jobs take place at Sprawl-Mart, Try-N-Save, Springfield Community Theater, a Kwik-E-Mart, or a Shop and take 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Wonder What Decorations Moms Are Buying". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours. What super spooky stuff did you get this time, Mom? An axe-toting werewolf? A maggot-filled coffin? Uh...two plastic jack-o-lanterns and an inflatable candy corn. What?! That's so lame! I honestly didn't care before, but now I'm just sad for you and for us. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Krustyland Halloween Horror Night

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1 Homer, why are we back at the Halloween store? We have to find you a sexy costume to match what I'm wearing. I thought you were going to be a cheeseburger? A SEXY cheeseburger. Can't I just go as Little Bo Peep or something? Oh, Marge, sexy adult costumes are all the rage this year. We're going as Sexy Pharaoh and Sexy Harem Girl. I'm sure you'll be a very sexy Sexy Harem Girl, Bernice. I'M the Sexy Harem Girl. Trick or Treat, Marge. *chuckles* Task: "Collect Halloween Candy" (x115).

Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Pt. 2 I can't believe we're finally at Krustyland's Halloween Horror Night! It's AWESOME! Where should we start? Decapitation Alley? Tower of Torture? The Hall of Severed Limbs? Ugh, this is so lame! It's all just commercialism and gore. Where's the real frights? The real dread! That's a fair point. You agree with her? I know. That's frightening.

Pt. 4[edit]

After completing Pt. 3 People of Springfield, embrace the true spirit of Halloween! Remember what it feels like to shake in your boots, have the hair stand up on your neck, and feel a cold shiver run down your spine! I get all that just lookin' in the mirror every morning. I'm going to read you a tale from the original master of the macabre — Edgar Allan Poe! That's your idea of a big scary Halloween — reading a book?!

Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Pt. 4 "His heart is a suspended lute; As soon as you touch it, it resonates!" What is happening in this story? Lutes?! Resonating?! Yeah! Get to the zombies eating brains already! At least throw in some intergalactic parasites! There are no zombies and no parasites in this story. Worst Halloween ever! Agreed. Let's get outta here! Task: "Collect Halloween Candy" (x185).

No one will ever understand the nature of true horror. Don't be so certain, my young friend! *gasp* Edgar Allan Poe! In the flesh! Although I confess I have no idea the how or why of it. Let's not worry about that. You're here! Quest reward: 200 and 20 Willie the Riveter
