Neopoint Wearables Throughout the Seasons: Halloween


by freeread

--------

         When the leaves start falling off the trees and the air begins to turn crisp, some people start to think of the scent of pumpkin pie and the coziness of an Autumn cardigan. However some people are reminded that the holiday of Halloween is approaching! Jack-o-lanterns, costumes, and CANDY! One of the best parts about Halloween is dressing up. Here is the style guide for everything that is spooky and creepy to prepare you for anything and everything that is Halloween! So grab yourself a fresh Pumpkin Spice Latte and start assembling that frightening new look!

          Backgrounds

         

         1. Haunted Laboratory Background

         Although it's the cheapest option, this background will not let you down in the scare department. It is a great budget option that will creep out even your toughest battledome pet. Pick this up for 900 neopoints and you're ready for the haunting season!

         

         2. Ileres Tree Background

         I think 1,000 neopoints is a steal to get to pose your pet in front of Ileres Tree. Did you know Ilere was the faerie who gave Sophie the Swamp Witch the opportunity to BE a witch? You will be on your way to casting hexes in no time.

         

         3. Spooky Tower Entrance

         Do you dream of having your own spooky tower? Now you can and for the extremely low price of 1,000 neopoints. The Spooky Tower Entrance is one of the creepiest towers in all of Neopia. Prove to your friends that you can handle the ghosts that live inside and throw this background on your customization today!

         

         4. Malicious Dark Faeries Background

         More scary faerie trees! This background comes in at 4,000 neopoints and has plenty of spook for your buck. It has a lot of different colors so you can be very flexible with the accessories! Hey, why don't you try out some Jhudora Wings along with it?

         

         5. Crumbling Ancient Castle Background

         Autumn sunsets are a popular conversation topic during the season. If you find yourself gossiping and sharing photos of the best ones, take a look at the Crumbling Ancient Castle Background. The site of this sunset will have all of your friends and family ooh-ing and ahh-ing. We had to include this bargain background, priced at a measly 5,000 neopoints.

         

         6. Manor Room Crime Scene Background

         While this background isn't traditionally scary, you just can't seem to get the creepy feeling out your head when you see that chalk outline. For just 6,000 neopoints your pet could be a suspect... or another victim?

         

         7. Creepy Cave Background

         EEEK! Who's there! I KNOW SOMEONE IS THERE! I SEE THOSE RED EYES!!! If you don't find yourself screaming at the sight of the Creepy Cave Background, you will not be scared to see the price tag: only 10,000 neopoints! Now only if I can pose for a picture before those monsters come out...

         

         8. Ednas Shadow Background

         When you need a few magic rituals done, Edna is the witch to go to! With Ednas Shadow Background, she will always be right by your side. Now for 18,000 neopoints, you are ready whenever you have an enemy that needs to be turned into a Mortog unexpectedly.

         

         9. Nightfall Background

         This is one of my all-time favorites on this list. It just screams Halloween! It's like going to a pumpkin patch! Only darker... And creepier... And the eyes seem to follow you.

         

         10. Spooky Forest Path Background

         If you're ready to take a stroll in a frightening forest this Halloween, than the Spooky Forest Path Background, 23,000 neopoints, is just right for you! Make sure to bring a flashlight and your best battledome weapons! You never know when the Ghost Lupe or Balthazar is creeping around the next upcoming tree.

         

         11. Grey Road

         If Halloween has gotten you down, you might find yourself looking at the Grey Paint Brush. If so, you have to check out complimenting your new color with the Grey Road! One of the spookiest barren wasteland backgrounds out there, for only 24,000 neopoints, you'll be the saddest (and most stylish!) Neopian out there!

         

         12. Perilous Catacombs Sentient Door Background

         If you are looking for a downright frightening background for under 30,000 neopoints, look no further! The Perilous Catacombs Sentient Door Backgrouns is the fright you need in your life! Be safe and stay behind that door. We are not quite sure what's behind it...

         

         13. Altador Mansion Background

         Are you a Ghoul Catchers guru? If so, chances are you probably have the Altador Mansion Background somewhere in your Safety Deposit Box! This background is perfect for regal queen and tortured henchman costumes, but any costumes are sure to be enhanced by the shear beauty of the Altador Mansion. You may look past this background, priced at 52,000 neopoints. But remember, beauty is absolutely NOT cheap!

         

         14. Dark Secret Background

         Everybody loves a secret? And a dark secret? EVEN BETTER! I'd pay 55,000 neopoints for a good dark secret. The Dark Secret Background is a great background to add to any Halloween customisation. The Haunted House? The eerie dead tree? Count me in!

         

         15. Games Graveyard Silhouette Background

         Remember the hours you've spent in the Games Room? Well the Games Graveyard is where some of those games go to DIE! Neo-DJ? DEAD. Represent your favorite old games by whipping out your wallet and slamming down 110,000 neopoints for the Graveyard Silhouette Background. You will not regret it!

         

         16. Neovia Shop Silhouette Background

         If you're looking to get truly creeped out, everyone in Neopia knows to head to Neovia. Something about that Crumpetmonger makes my arm hair stand up. And don't even get me started on the Printing Press Shopkeeper. If you're one of the few that isn't spooked by the looks of Neovia, you should probably pick up the Neovia Shop Silhouette Background for 170,000 neopoints.

         

         17. Nox Castle Silhouette Background

         You know what's scary? Warlocks. And which one is the scariest? It's easily Hubrid Nox. Now for only 175,000 neopoints, you can show all your friends how brave you are for deciding to stand outside of his castle with the Nox Castle Silhouette Background.

         

         18. Deserted Fairground Silhouette Background

         One popular costume choice this year is a clown! If you're thinking about dressing up as a malicious clown for Halloween, the Deserted Fairground Silhouette Background, priced at 175,000 neopoints, is the perfect setting for anybody with a bright red nose and an evil grin. Nobody knows what's creeping around the corner behind them and fears it's your menacing grin.

         

         19. Meridell Castle Silhouette Background

         If you did the whole vampire gig last year, why not be a princess or knight this year? The Meridell Castle Silhouette is the perfect backdrop for wannabe royalty and warriors. Luxury comes at a price. 225,000 neopoints to be exact.

         

         20. Wheel of Misfortune Silhouette Background

         Two of a Neopian's biggest fears are losing some of their hard earned neopoints or coming down with a disease. The Wheel of Misfortune can do both! EEEK! That's why if you're willing to spend 400,000 neopoints, you could find yourself with the Wheel of Misfortune Silhouette Background. Just be sure not to spin it! You wouldn't want to come down with Doldrums or Reptillioritus!

         

         21. Haunted House Porch Background

         Nothing says Halloween like a spooky Haunted House. If you want to make sure to get the most elite Halloween background that neopoints can buy, make sure to pick up the Haunted House Porch Background. Priced at a whopping three million neopoints, this porch is creepy enough to make anyone scream.

              Foregrounds

         

         22. Undead Apple Tree Foreground

         I cannot even lie. Once I saw the Undead Apple Tree Foreground, I bought it immediately. If you don't already have one in your closet, pick up one of these for only 250 neopoints. This foreground is a Halloween staple bargain!

         

         23. Old Cobwebs Foreground

         Do you need to spook-ify your outfit? For only 1,000 neopoints, Old Cobwebs Foreground is the solution for you. One of my all-time favorites, this foreground offers the perfect eerie touch to all Halloween costumes and outfits. Are Lord Darigan costumes catching your eye? Throw on some cobwebs! Maybe you're dressing up as Balthazar? THROW ON SOME COBWEBS? Or are you going as Edna? Well...I think you get the point.

         

         24. Haunted Wood Foreground

         When I first saw the Haunted Wood Foreground, I'll admit it; I screamed. It's just so creepy! Where is this smoke coming from? What about all of those piercing red eyes in that log? Priced at a mere 2,000 neopoints, you won't regret this creepy addition to your Halloween ensemble.

         

         25. Ancient Archway Foreground

         The Ancient Archway Foreground is one of the most versatile items on this list. Whether you're going as a undead zombie princess or a ghost pirate from the underworld, you cannot beat the look an Ancient Archway Foreground provides. Wait, it's only 3,000 neopoints? Don't mind me while I go hit up the Shop Wizard!

         

         26. Dreary Foreground

         So I may have said our last item was versatile, but the Dreary Foreground takes the cake! This is the kind of foreground that you'll see even after this Halloween season. Therefore for only spending 3,000 neopoints, you can rest easy knowing that the Dreary Foreground provides a special something to any outfit. Personally I love the look of this foreground with Halloween Flotsams and Ghost Kougras but let's be honest: it looks pretty great on any Neopian.

         

         27. Malevolent Tombstones

         Wait a minute, are those headstones....alive? Did that one just talk to me? You might be asking yourself these questions when looking at the Malevolent Tombstones. The answer to both questions is yes. And that's what makes this foreground perfect when scaring your siblings and friends!

         

         28. Geraptiku Bushes

         Are you inspired by Sophie the Swamp Witch? Have you been planning to dress up as the infamous Ixi since last Halloween? If so, you absolutely need to add Geraptiku Bushes. 6,000 neopoints is a real steal for the effect these spooky skulls will add!

         

         29. Strange Green Mist Foreground

         Evil scientist? Edna the Witch? Or Jhudora herself? No matter what your Neopian heart desires to dress up as this Halloween, Strange Green Mists adds an eerie mist that is sure to freak out anybody that you crosses your past. For 6,000 neopoints, be sure to add this foreground into your closet!

         

         30. Haunted Woods Archway

         Nothing is more Halloween than posing by the iconic Haunted Woods Archway! Now for only 7,000 neopoints, you can! Let all of your friends know that you take Halloween seriously by taking your customization to the next level with the Haunted Woods Archway and they are sure to be impressed.

         

         31. Bone Fence

         One thing I love about the Bone Fence is that it works great with both scary and goofy customizations, it's up to you which one you choose! It's not too dark of an item but paired with a creepy background and outfit, you'll be scaring every resident right out of your neighborhood. Bone Fence works great for children costumes too! For 25,000 neopoints, you're sure to get one of the most versatile Halloween items in all of Neopia.

         

         32. Deep Dark Shrubbery

         One of the biggest trends this Halloween season is the color purple! If you are looking to join in on this popular color, Deep Dark Shrubbery is the perfect way to go. No matter what you decide to dress up as for Halloween, I promise you, this foreground will be a stellar addition! Bust up into your bank account, withdraw 38,000 neopoints and make sure to add the Deep Dark Shrubbery to your garden ASAP!

         

         33. Full Cauldron

         Whether you're casting charms or hexes, you're gonna want a Full Cauldron next to you to complete your look. You can't expect someone to guess you're Edna without one of these, right? Add one to your close for 97,000 neopoints. It may be a little steep, but every with needs a cauldron.

         

         34. Cloud of Dark Magic Foreground

         If you were around for the Y14 Festival of Neggs, you may have the Cloud of Magic Foreground tucked away in your Safety Deposit Box. If not, you're looking to be set back 150,000 neopoints for this must-have foreground. Let everyone around you know that you have some dark magic tucked away this Halloween.

         

         35. Graveyard Silhouette Fence Foreground

         Are you a grand master at games? Do you get excited every time the Daily Dare comes around? Well if so, here's another event item for you. In Y15, the Daily Dare rewarded some game gurus the Graveyard Silhouette. Taking a nighttime stroll in a graveyard. How SPOOKY! Not an expert in the Games Room? Don't worry! You can pick one of these beauties up for 150,000 neopoints.

         

         36. Looming Balthazar Shadow

         WHAT'S THAT BEHIND YOU?! Ahhh! It's BALTHAZAR! Just kidding! It's actually the Looming Balthazar Shadow! If you have some neopoints to spare and are looking for the ultimate prank, the Looming Balthazar Shadow is for you. It's not cheap! 600,000 neopoints can set back even some of the hardest working Neopians. If you're lucky, you may have one stashed in your Safety Deposit Box from back in Y13's Daily Dare! Invisible pets are especially fun to add this haunting shadow to.

         

         37. Cover of Darkness Foreground

         One thing I love about the Cover of Darkness Foreground is that it goes with EVERYTHING! One thing I hate? The 800,000 neopoint price tag. However, when there's a staple wearable as versatile as the Cover of Darkness Foreground, you really cannot complain. Actually, instead of complaining, we should be thanking the Games Master Challenge for providing this foreground as a prize.

              Contacts, Masks, FP

         

         38. Spooky Skull Mask

         This little mask is a great addition to your scary costume. Featuring hollow eyes and creepy green teeth, it even gave me a fright! The best part? It only costs 5,000 neopoints. And it matches Jhudora's fingernails!

         

         39. Count Von Roo Contacts

         What better way to really get into the Halloween spirit than to mimic Neopia's greatest Vampire himself, Count Von Roo. On Halloween day Von Roo is allowed to be awake all day and fix you with his creepy stare. Though, I'm not sure he would be too happy with us stealing his signature look, oops!

         

         40. Bloodshot Eye Contacts

         These contacts are a great spooky addition to your customization because they really give the illusion that you've been up for days on end scared by something... Maybe that Scary Moehog has been haunting your dreams?

         

         41. Scary Teeth Mask

         Wow I took one look at this mask and was terrified! If you're really, REALLY into this time of year you will absolutely love this one. It's by far the scariest item on this page! I'm surprised it doesn't cost more. This item will definitely provide the most scare for your buck at 79,000 neopoints.

         

         42. Jack-O-Lantern Mask

         OH MY! How can anyone handle how adorable the Jack-O-Lantern Mask is? It's easy to forget spending 100,000 neopoints when you're obviously investing in one of the cutest wearables. If you get scared easily, the Jack-O-Lantern Mask is a great choice for keeping up the Halloween spirit in your home.

              Wings

         

         43. Weathered Wings

         Weathered Wings are the are the perfect bargain set of wings when you need just a little something extra to add to a costume. For only 5,000 neopoints, these wings are a reasonable addition to any Halloween outfit.

         

         44. Jhudora Wings

         You heard me right! These wings are styled after Jhudora's wings herself! Whether you're going as Jhudora herself or have something else planned up your sleeve, Jhudora Wings are an inexpensive option at only 16,000 neopoints. Who knows? Maybe you'll look so great, you'll even get a compliment from Jhudora herself.

         

         45. Deluxe Dark Faerie Wings

         Is dressing up as Jhudora not your style? A little too, shall I say it, cliché? If you want to stand out but still love the darker side of Faerieland then Deluxe Dark Faerie Wings are for you. At only 200,000 neopoints, you have the opportunity to be the coolest Dark Faerie at any Halloween gathering.

         

         46. Black Alabriss Wings

         Priced at a whopping ten million neopoints, Black Alabriss Wings are easily the most expensive wearable on this list. However, these wings are too striking to not include. No matter what you have decided to dress up as this Halloween, the Black Alabriss wings are sure to have all your friends know you're drowning in neopoints...or at least were until you bought these wings.

         Extras

         

         

         47 & 48. Jhudoras Fingernails & Steel Nails

         The best villains have lethal fingernails. We've decided to put both of these in the same category because we just couldn't pick a favorite! Jhudora's fingernails are lime green and sharp for only 1,000 neopoints. Steel Nails are practically daggers on your fingernails for about 400,000 neopoints. This price is a little steep but totally worth it to get the look you're going for.

         

         49. Jhudoras Spell

         I'm sure by now you can tell that we idolize Jhudora in our spooky customizations. 5,000 neopoints will get you your own, handmade spell by Jhudora! Impressive!

         

         50. Headless Cape

         Ahh! Where's your head? It's just a trick but it will sure scare your friends! To complete the list, Headleass Cape needed to be included. At 6,000 neopoints, you've got yourself a full customization that will creep every Neopian you pass by.
