Let's put the Halloween ideas all in one topic -- everyone is welcome to pitch in their ideas for what they would like to buy, earn, win or see during the Halloween events.
I'll start with: Hearse mount.
An old fashioned hearse, horse drawn, with a black cabin. Two passengers can ride in the front where the reins are. One holds the reins. Another can tag along on top of the cabin. Another can ride in the casket inside the cabin.
Alternatively, the casket opens and closes as the horse drawn hearse rolls along. What is inside the casket is up to KingsIsle.
I thought it would be nice if 2 or more could ride on it.
I gave a similar idea last year. I hope to see this some day. Thanks!
I would love to see characters inspired by classic Halloween type characters. So, for example, Jason, Freddy, The Munsters, The Addams Family, etc. The horror characters can be made more friendly in appearance and motives, but it would be nice if there were a slew of characters that were inspired by those characters. Also, if possible, add new music themes based off of these characters as well.
There should be a lore pack which has spooky spells for all schools. Last year's Headless Horseman was awesome, I would love to see spells for the other schools as well.
If not a lore pack, I feel a dungeon with many spooky puzzles and an overall very eerie atmosphere should have a recipe vendor for the spells, gear and even furniture will be nice.
That aside, I wish areas of Wizard City would be more decorated. It should be dark and the pumpkins should glow, there should be fog and you could even see actual ghosts (Not different colors of Lost Souls) should pop up here and there.
I feel other worlds should also be decorated. Not as much as Wizard City but a few decorations here and there can go a long way.
Maybe you could play games in areas of Wizard City as well. Hide and Seek in the Spooky Commons would be awesome. The person coming after you should be a scary figure. With all the fog and other decorations here and there it would be awesome to play.
These are all the ideas I have for now, But I will for sure post more. :)
I would love to see higher level towers in Ravenwood for Halloween. As aesthetics go, I love the idea of fog, more glowing or animated pumpkins, and always more ghosts and things that go bump in the night. And yes, yes, YES, to spells for every school that are Halloween themed.
I would love to see Wizard City more Halloween themed, it's usually pretty bland and boring during Halloween. I would love to see things like pumpkins lying around, a low fog over the ground, vampires and ghosts roaming around, etc. It'd be a really cool thing to see.
And this kinda relates to your post dayerider, if they haven't already, I'd love to see them put a hockey mask as an equippable item, maybe even from some kind of limited edition Halloween pack/bundle, as a reference to the iconic Jason, id like something like that.
How about a maze? You have them scary dudes coming after you and with all the fog around it'll be really fun in my opinion since you don't know where the scary guys are coming from.
At the end you get a chest which works like the packs, but only 3 items.
I don't know how this will work but a secret party room which is really decorated where people can just chill and talk would be really nice. Kind of like a temporary Commons that's a lot more fun. I think you should be able to unlock this place after finishing one of the new Halloween dungeons. You just have one dude chilling in the corner with an exclamation point saying he found a key and thinks we should check it out.
How about a new event similar to B.O.X.E.S. or Lost Pages where we need to visit each world. I don't know if it's feasible to decorate each world for Halloween, but Wizard City (especially The Commons and Ravenwood) could definitely have the sun go down for Halloween.
A corn maze?
Open up every home in Unicorn Way and let the wizards go Trick or Treating.
Costumes that when worn have the same stats as our normal gear.
I would love to see characters inspired by classic Halloween type characters. So, for example, Jason, Freddy, The Munsters, The Addams Family, etc. The horror characters can be made more friendly in appearance and motives, but it would be nice if there were a slew of characters that were inspired by those characters.

A huge problem with that is all of that stuff is all copyrighted so they'll have to get permission first. And who knows how long that will take if Wizard101 will ever get permission.
New Spells for the death school like the headless horseman (and other schools too i guess haha), but make it a dungeon or a quest of some kind. Make a B.O.X.E.S event where we go back to when the death school was still in ravenwood would be cool too
