Happy Halloween!

http://www.smallworlds.com/?target=/2010/10/19/happy-halloween/It's that frightening time of year once again, and we've got lots of scary fun to share with you. Pay a visit to our brand new Halloween space, and you'll find four spooky seasonal items on sale. There's also a new Halloween Mission with a Rare item giveaway if you complete the mission.
We've got a great range of swap-outs, some of which are truly stomach-turning (don't look too closely at the toilet!) and Coco has a Halloween Costume Competition to enter!
Halloween Theme Swap-outsActivate the Halloween theme from your space settings menu (click the wrench icon, space settings/theme) and if you have any of the 'swap-out' items in your space, they'll be given the Halloween treatment.
With the Halloween theme, you'll get six new wall textures and two floor coverings to choose from. The new decor choices have a pumpkin-head on them, so you'll be able to easily see which ones they are.
Here's a preview of some of the swap-out items - they are quite gruesome!
Seasonal Items for Sale!We've got some creepy-looking Skull Balloons for sale as a seasonal item. And we've also got 3 items from last year's Halloween swap-out which are now also available as seasonal items: brain on a plate, a dead rubber plant and bones on a path.
All the items are perfect for your Halloween parties, so make sure you grab yours today. Remember that seasonal items are available for a limited time only, but may be sold again next Halloween.
You'll find all these items in the Halloween space, and in Dungeon of Deals.
Halloween Magic and a Magic Battle!We've replaced two spells for Halloween. The Fish Head Spell has transformed into the Witch Spell and the Donkey Head Spell has become the Vampire Spell.
Don't forget the
Quick Draw Magic Showdown starting 6pm SWT on Friday night and running until midnight on Sunday. Along with Halloween Spell fun, you'll get the chance to show off your new crafted magic. It's guaranteed to be a blast!
Halloween Mission: Frankenstein's Pumpkin HuntAs soon as you teleport into the Frankenstein's Pumpkin Hunt mission, you'll notice you look a little different... you've been turned into the monster Frankenstein! Your task is to get all the pumpkins ready for Halloween. As you go about this task you are suddenly transported into a mysterious Halloween dimension. Somehow, you have to find your way home again.
If you complete the mission, you'll get a free Rare Pumpkin Lantern - it's got a freaky red glow. This item is available only for Halloween 2010, so do make sure you collect yours while you still can.
