This is a good event. Why all the hate?
I've been seeing I lot of unwarranted hate for this event and it just started a couple of days ago. Now I'll admit I miss the lack of trick and treating, the green rivers and the cartable items stink...

Here are my thoughts on the event. I don't mind the a Harry Potter event but...
1. Half the crafting items are just repeats I already have.
2. People miss when we had zombie's, aliens, and ghosts running around our towns to possessing people. Although I admit just having some creatures running around doing whatever in towns is a lot easier than for them to program rather than something that actually interacts with your springfielder's but far less engaging.
3. A lot of people expected Trick or Treating to be back this year. The only way to see the Trick or Treat costumes right now is one at time with the Nightmare Pile. I also expected them to find a use for the premium costumes from 2015 as well.
4. There is no real reason to hit friends towns. It is a slight benefit to you and doesn't help your friends at all.
5. This event isn't very interactive for you either. Take a few minutes in town and have kids fight monster's, release monsters, and hit the tower and your done for 4 hours.
6. A lot of people like the THOH events to have a dark feel to them. I wasn't impressed with the movie magic theme last year because it detracted a bit of the dark feeling around the Halloween Event. This event doesn't really seem much better.
7. This is a pretty versatile event that could pretty much be done any time throughout the year.
I really don't think this is a bad event per say but it just doesn't seem like a real Halloween Event. I just feel it falls short of what we should expect from a THOH event. This was also the same thought I had with the Pagan Event. It wasn't bad but I wanted an actual Christmas event.
