The trees are turning orange and leaves are covering every last bit of greenery. Mushrooms are spawning everywhere and the air smells slightly...spicy? It's autumn! And not only in the real world, also on the many islands Animal Crossing: New Horizons players call their second home. Where there's autumn, there's also Halloween. For various reasons the spooky fun and its accompanying trick or treat tradition are put on ice in this "lovely" year, but the inhabitants of your islands are very much looking forward to showering you with candy and lollipops. While it might be tempting to eat all of those yourself, try to keep some for Jack the Czar of Halloween, who comes to visit on october 31st. Said pumkin head will give you all kinds of rewards in exchange for those sweets. So, leave the candy for later and fill your belly with some pumpkin soup instead. Maybe don't mention it to Jack though...not sure what a pumpkin headed guy thinks about pumpkin soup with roasted pumkin seeds.
