Halloween 2026

As expected, I received Pecan’s goodbye letter in the mail today.

To: Jeff, I'm moving out of town. I hope we bump into each other in Forest, so I can say good-bye in person! If not...farewell! -Pecan

Of course, today is Halloween. I first played in the afternoon, and I grabbed some extra candy from Guest’s house. When I switched back to my character, Samson warned me to keep some candy with me if I’m out walking around. And he said if the “costumed clowns” get too close, he told me to run for my life. It’s funny, but true! 😆

Samson: Then if some costumed clowns get too close, run for your life! Wind sprints, pipsqueak!

Of course that threat can be neutralized by trapping the outdoor villagers with holes. And that’s exactly what I did when 6:00 started approaching. Here you can see Big Top and Sydney both trapped, though I later combined them into one trap.

Big Top and Sydney trapped before Halloween.

Here is a GIF of them transforming into their costumes when the event began. Interestingly, their flips were not simultaneous! But I’m guessing it’s because Big Top had to put away his net first.

Big Top and Sydney transform into the Jack lookalike Halloween costumes in Animal Crossing: City Folk (ACCF).

I began my search for Jack, but I also did a little trick-or-treating to get a few extra pieces of candy for the event. This works if you’re wearing a matching “look” as a costume, and my blue zap suit fits the bill. Thanks for the candy, Scoot!

Scoot: TRICK OR TREAT?!

It actually took me quite a while to find Jack the first time, but my subsequent attempts went more smoothly. Here, you can see me finding Jack in front of the two trapped lookalikes in the background.

Jack: Ah, good work, pumpkin. You figured out which of us is the real Jack, czar of Halloween!

I played for well over an hour, but not as long as I did the last couple years. I ended up with 19 pieces of spooky furniture, and I sold it all for a whopping 195,890 bells. Ka-ching! That was enough to boost my savings balance up to 82 million bells.

Your current balance is 82,000,000 bells.

And speaking of savings balances, I posted an updated video of my totals from across the series in the form of a line chart race. The previous video I posted was over 2.5 years ago, so here’s an updated look:

I hope you all had a fun and safe night. Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃

Walking around on Halloween.
