Ghostbusters was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, so I'm thrilled that they are focusing on it so strongly. I want to try to get all the GB outfits, if I can, but I want to get all the characters, like Mr W, and I already have Diane. For Mr W, I just need somewhere between 12-15 candy corns at this point, and he should be all set.
The weekly challenges are close to, if not, impossible without spending clams. I haven't spent a cent on Family Guy, since TSTO is my priority (and I've spent money there), and probably won't for some time... and you really need to spend clams to finish those! I'm in that game so often and I don't think I've gotten one weekly so far.
Overall, I think it's a good event with just a little too much going on at one time
I would've bought the ship for Alien, but I'm really trying to save up for mr w-e-e-d (it takes forever to get those coins or whatever they are). I won't be heartbroken if I don't get the Ecto-1. Most of the prizes are just decorations that would just end up in storage anyways.
Considering Mr. W eed is the last brew prize, I can assume we'll even have the ability to earn more vials in the coming weeks; I think TinyCo just showed us what we need for him early on so we can prepare for him and not waste our vials on unnecessary decos. I'm at 8K now but we still need GB Cleveland and costumes for Stewie and Connie, so I'll be using some of those vials again for them. I'm not going to stress about it.
based on the name of the next portal being the stay puft portal and the final ingredient being a jar of white stuff is say chances are good we'll get something similar to demon stewie from the last event in the form of marshmallow Man. That's probably where the rate of spirit vials will jump up. Get as many as you can now though as there will probably be a few more buildings too. Having the three ghosts give 50 clams as well
I missed out on the third GB prize. The bombs rarely dropped and I was a terrible shot unlike the minions at Comic-Con (where the target was dead center). It doesn't bother me much anyway as it would've ended up in storage.
I am now focusing my attention on unlocking Francis (should have him this afternoon), Mr. W-e-e-d and District 9. I am dreading the blimp quest since I already have to get Meg's Jailhouse costume Joe's GB costume and Carter unlocked.

If it makes you feel any better, the blimp questline just kind of... stops. I've got everyone involved fully unlocked and all questlines completed, but the blimp questline never picked back up.
Francis fully unlocked and GB Joe earned. I should have all the items needs for Mr. W33d by Thursday, hopefully enough spirit vials too.
I will be glad when this is over, I was so excited for the Halloween challenges, but I'm pretty disappointed. There is too much going on, ugly decorations, and it's starting to become impossible to get everything done. I'm going to focus more on TSTO, it's not the best event ever, but it's not as complicated and the decorations and prizes are much better. Hoping the Christmas event will be better. To me it just seems you need money to spend to really enjoy this game.
Unlike you, I'm enjoying it. More than just keep sending kids trick or treating for 8 hours on Tapped Out. :?

The stink bomb challenge was actually quite easy. I finished with 20 hrs remaining and 5 bombs.

I got all the items for Mr. W.eed but the vials-- I just need 6K more. I gotta stop brewing/buying decos and buildings so I can unlock him.
I just used about 50 clams to get more stink bombs. I was at 148/150 and I dropped 3 trick R treaters but none registered. Needless to say I didn't get the priZe. All I want is the ecto-1. I contacted customer support on the 11th about Diane but never received a response. I doubt I will this time either. Oh well, I won't be dropping any $$ on this game.

Eventually they get back to you. Just not in any form of timely fashion. Had issues with last event and tried contacting. Heard back a couple weeks after the event ended.
Didn't get the third item for dropping bombs on trick or treaters either. The smoke covers them but, they don't pop and, I just can't seem to get them in a good group. Last event was easier as you could bop them and they would freeze for a little bit making it easier to group them. I wasn't even close like 91/150. Not sweating it though as the stuff just ends up in storage anyway.
The amount of free stuff in this game is ridiculous. I need 4 more plots of land for what I have now
Totally agreed. A lot of people on the TSTO board say that FGQFS is nothing more than a "cash grab", especially compared to TSTO. Don't see how there's any difference in that regard between the two, especially considering what FGQFS is giving out (voiced celebrities, themed content, etc).
I wish Joe's zapping task didn't involve the same ghost and have the same prize as Peter's. I've run out of them.
I've been assigning the dual task with Peter and Jerome, which pays out 25 vials every two hours.
I'm trying the bonnie/pink Brian job too 50 vials for 8hrs - not quite as beneficial as the Peter/jerome one but jobs involving a vial collecting character and non collecting character usually work out better

I had been using the Bonnie/Brian job, but now that Bonnie can create stink bombs, you can make more by putting both on 4 hour jobs at 15 each two times. I am saving up stink bombs and latcher traps, because I am guessing that the last part of the Ghostbusters challenge will be similar to the last event and require vanquishing all creatures. I was really prepared last time. I am about 5000 away from Mr. We.ed, but I am not sure if I will spend the wait until the next part is released. I don't want to use up all my spirit vials and need them right away.

Same here. I just need 4K vials to unlock Mr. w.eed but will hold off since the next challenge is coming up in a couple of days and may need vials for GB Cleveland's outfit, to complete the team. Looking forward to it! 8)
I got Zuul's portal this morning, after tapping on several characters and not getting any bombs I was starting to get angry but then the last few dropped some. I only needed to bomb 5 more kids, but the game has a really nasty habit of letting them walk right through the blast zone unfazed. had that same issue with the comic-con even too. I'm glad they dropped it to 150 and the tasks all to 4 hours, because I would not have done 200 with the absolutely horrible drop rate of the bombs.
That said I am still working on unlocking Tom, his items have been a nightmare to get even without the Halloween even happening. Just need 1 antenna. I need a few cats and some sausages for Adam, and they are both being a nightmare to get.
I spent the 10 clams to get the last 2 fire-poles for Joe's GB suit.

the kids in my town would group up every time I had no bombs to use. really freaking annoying. I could have done like 10 or more on several occasions. The game knows, and messes with you.

Pure genius. Thanks for that tip.
