Any ideas why I'm so far behind in THOH???
That sucks. Sounds like you should be doing better. The only thing I can think of is to leave eggs to towns where they won't be squished. Good luck.

The predictions on the sticky thread were wrong. This phase ends tomorrow night. I thought I was a day or two ahead but turns out I was actually about fifty behind. OP needs about 700 a day
Here's my typical schedule:
8am (breakfast), noon (lunch), 5-6pm (after work), 9-10pm (kids in bed).
It's only realistic to expect 2 trick-or-treat collections per day (and once per day for premium characters) on this schedule.
Ammo? Yeah, I get 4-5 a day max, and I have the Ray Gun.
Grem-Aliens, you get 4 per egg if you don't log in until they expire, whether or not the neighbor squishes the Grem-Alien. Not that I ever get enough to make a difference.
Friends, usually once per day but there's the whole 24-hour-cycle slippage that usually means 6 days a week not 7.
This has been fine for every other event (well, except Easter, but we know why that was such a screw-up) - how come EA have made it more difficult now? I can only think they want to make it more difficult so folks buy more donuts....
Maybe my town isn't spawning correctly, or some aren't being counted. I don't know.
Pretty frustrating though.
I don't have max friends but I do have Over 20, I visit and play constantly last night I even stayed up a bit to trick or treat again, still need 1000 more any UFO seems to be a bronze bag or gummy bears, why gummy bear I don't know but I now have a lot of Gummy bears.
it appears the probes cam more from UFOs, also I drop tons of aliens in a town which the person doesn't tap them.
I try for 10 at a time, I get the 40 guns from this a couple times a day, but still I am behind.
I have school and cannot play Mondays and Wednesdays from 7-12:00 I play at 6:00 but Because of classes I can't play until I get home
we can always craft the hover copter but I want the grand pumpkin
You're just not trying hard enough
Now get back to tapping!
If you only get 8 hours of sleep per day, then you can collect trick or treat 3 times a day, squash aliens (every 4 hours, when the max 50 aliens in your town is reached) 5 times a day. This, plus the 90 neighbor actions, gives you 590 ray-guns, with about 30 treat bags giving you maybe on average another 30-50 ray-guns. You need 646 per day, so you should be fairly close even without counting ray-guns from UFOs (I think I must have gotten at least 300 just from UFOs, 150 just yesterday actually) and grem-aliens.
Note that for grem-aliens, the glitch that existed for **** also exists. So if you send out grem-aliens, close the game and don't log back in for at least 4 hours, then you'll get maximum currency for those (so 4 per grem-alien, regardless of whether your neighbor squashed them or not). You can easily get 500+ ray-guns during the entire phase just from grem-aliens, assuming you have good neighbors (I increased my neighbor count from 30 to 60 just for this phase, and it has really helped).
I actually play less than you I think, only trick or treat 2 times a day and squash aliens 4 times a day, but I'm still on track (this is without any of the donut based items that gives you extra currency, like the Ray Gun, portal or license). I got the Donut Torture Device too, with a day to spare, but the hover-copter will be close, but doable, at this point.
if ur doing like u said u are daily, u should be ahead.
maybe your tapping times are wrong. visit every 4 hrs to get maximum rigellians.
Germs?
