Join Jack For Halloween Night Event 2022 In Animal Crossing: New Horizons Tonight!

9 months ago Justin 2 Comments

Happy Halloween everyone! The spookiest day of the year has finally arrived and Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be celebrating tonight with you if you’re playing in real time!

If you haven’t got any interesting activates to partake in on Halloween this year, why not consider joining your villagers on Animal Crossing with some sweet tricks and tricks?

The Halloween Night event festivities begin in Animal Crossing: New Horizons at 5PM local time on your island running all the way until Midnight. During this time the atmosphere gets spooky, villagers put on fun costumes looking to trick or treat, and Jack the Pumpkin Czar shows up for a visit!

Throughout the evening, you can collect both Candy and Lollipops from your villagers. Then by exchanging them back to other villagers or Jack, a variety of exclusive Halloween themed furniture items and clothing can be unlocked!

These items make up the other part of the Spooky Set items that have been found in Nook’s Cranny and other places during the rest of the month until now, so you’ll want to participate to complete the set. Most notable of all, that includes the amazing Spooky Carriage furniture item featured below!

You’ll also be able to get your hands on Jack’s costume pieces, so you can dress up just like him anytime, and a few other goodies. Two new Halloween themed Reactions called Haunt and Scare can be learned as well.

For a complete rundown of absolutely everything going on in tonight’s Halloween Event including rewards and tips, check out our complete Jack’s Halloween Event Guide & Rewards here!

Of course if you’re unable to play today for any reason, it’s worth reminding that this event is not based on a server time based event or anything — you can always time travel back to October 31st later if you miss it. It’s always more fun to experience these holidays in real time though!

Is There Anything New For Halloween Night 2022?

Sadly, there haven’t been any major changes to the Halloween Event for 2022, or during any other years since launch for that matter — this event has remained the same, unlike some others like May Day that received major changes.

However, it is worth mentioning that a new Spooky Cookies cooking recipe was introduced in the Version 2.0 Update that you likely don’t have if you haven’t played in October 2022 yet and it can be obtained during the event. Plus, veteran players who never came back to New Horizons after 2020 can enjoy the other new Sp0oky Set items that were added in 2021.

Either way, if you haven’t got any fun real-world plans for Halloween, then having a short and sweet spooky playthrough in Animal Crossing certainly isn’t a bad way to spend your evening!

Let us know in the comments below how the Halloween Event goes for you, if you get everything you wanted, and how you think of this version of Halloween in Animal Crossing stacks up to others.
