Its the spookiest season of the year, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons is jumping head-first into the holiday spirit with a brand new Spooky Set of items. These items consist of all the Halloween staples you'd expect, as well as plenty of unique decorations for your island. Just like previous seasonal event items, you can't get them all in just one way. Here's how you can get all the Spooky Set items and build the spookiest island in the game.
How To Get Spooky Set Items
There are three different ways to get the new Spooky Set items and decorations in the Halloween update to Animal Crossing. Some can be purchased, others crafted, and there's a final set that are exclusive to the Halloween Night event. You'll need to do a little of each to get your hands on the entire collection.
Purchase Spooky Items
If you have the upgraded version of Nook's Cranny, he will have a nice selection of the Spooky Set items for you to peruse and purchase. This is a very convenient way of collecting these decorations and pieces of furniture, but you are at the whim of what he has in stock. Out of all the Spooky Set items, here are the ones that can appear in the store during October:
- Spooky Arch - 18,000 Bells
- Spooky Candy Set - 3,500 Bells
- Spooky Chair - 5,000 Bells
- Spooky Lantern - 5,600 Bells
- Spooky Lantern Set - 5,900 Bells
- Spooky Scarecrow - 5,200 Bells
- Spooky Standing Lamp - 5,800 Bells
- Spooky Table - 22,000 Bells
- Spooky Tower - 9,800 Bells
Crafting Spooky Items
If you'd rather put some elbow grease into getting these Halloween items, you can collect a new set of DIY Crafting Recipes to put them together yourself. These recipes come the same way they always have: either from speaking to villagers, shooting down balloon presents, and finding messages in bottles washed up on the beach.
All nine of the items you can purchase from Nook's Cranny can also be crafted, as well as one additional item that will never show up in the shop. The Spooky Fence is exclusive to crafting because, as you might know, fence items are not sold. Make sure you at least find this recipe before the event ends.
Halloween Night Event Items
As if anyone needed any extra incentive to check in on their islands on Halloween night, there will be just a few more exclusive Spooky Set items that can only be found during the Halloween Night Event. This event only runs on Halloween night, October 31 starting at 5pm until midnight. During this time, you can share special Halloween Candy with your villagers to earn Lollipops and five more Spooky Set items.
- Spooky Flooring
- Spooky Garland
- Spooky Rug
- Spooky Table Setting
- Spooky Wall
Jack will also award you with two more Spooky Set items on this night if you trade your Lollipops with him.
- Spooky Carriage
- Spooky Wand
In total, you're looking at 17 Spooky Set items you can purchase, craft, and earn throughout this seasonal event. If you really want to get creative, crafting these items will allow you to personalize them even further by changing their color at DIY Workbenches and changing the pumpkin color if you've grown some of the rarer colors like green, white, or yellow.
