So, Zynga really, really likes Halloween. And it really, really wants you to help it celebrate it in the Pioneer Trail. If you haven't guessed where I'm going with this, yet another feature has been released in the game to celebrate the upcoming spook-tastic holiday. Luckily, though, you'll have until November 18 to get everything done. This particular feature revolves around something called the Spook Shack, which lets you craft themed decorations for use on your Homestead, and even lets you unlock Brooms that can be ridden by your avatars just like Horses! Of course, you'll need to build it first.
The Spook Shack requires the following building ingredients:
10 Trick or Treat Sacks
10 Ghost Catchers
10 Bone Pillars
15 Dead Wood
15 Cobwebs
15 Creaky Stairs
The first three items are earned through general news items you'll post on your wall, while the latter three items are earned through individual gift requests sent to friends.
Once the Spook Shack is built, you'll be able to start going "Trick-or-Treating" on your neighbors' Homesteads - literally. By visiting neighbors, you'll be given the choice of "Trick" or "Treat," with these actions apparently giving you some of the building materials you'll need to craft those decorations and rideable Brooms I mentioned earlier. Here's a full rundown of the items you can craft:
For some of these items, other tasks must be completed, instead of just going Trick-or-Treating. For instance, Corn Bristles drop at random when you harvest corn on both your or your neighbors' Homesteads, while Paper Bags, Sandstone pieces, Fences, Treats and Tricks drop while clearing debris on either your or your neighbors' Homesteads.
In addition to this new building, there are also three new goals to complete as well, and we'll have a complete rundown of those goals for you as soon as we can and you can check out our complete guide to finishing those goals right here.

Pioneer Trail Trick or Treat Goals: Everything you need to know
Along with today's release of the Spook Shack in Pioneer Trail comes the ability to visit your neighbors' Homestead and then go "trick-or-treating" while you're there. You'll earn a variety of goodies by doing so that can be used in your new Spook Shack building on your Homestead proper, but you'll also need to go trick-or-treating to complete a series of three goals to truly round out this event. Here's a guide to completing all three!
The Spookiest Homestead on the Frontier
Place the Spook Shack
Visit 5 Neighbors' Homestead to Trick or Treat
Collect 10 Issues of Frontier Living Magazine
The Magazines are earned through a general news item you'll post to your wall. As for Trick or Treating, this is done by simply visiting your friends as normal, and then waiting for a pop-up to appear, showing you a door and welcome mat with two buttons: "Trick" or "Treat." Depending on the choice you choose, you'll be given the opportunity to share your rewards with friends by posting another wall post. For finishing this first goal, you'll receive 500 XP, a Candy Bag and 500 coins.
Turning Tricks and Treats
Craft 5 of Any Spook Shack Decorations
Collect 15 Halloween Kits
Tend 80 Pumpkins or Ghost Pumpkins on your Homestead or a Neighbors
Halloween Kits are earned through individual gift requests sent to individual friends. Meanwhile, for a complete rundown of the different items you can craft inside the Spook Shack, and the requirements for each, be sure to check out our guide. For finishing this second goal, you'll receive a Candy Bag, 1000 XP and an Unripe Pumpkins item.
Get Witchy
Craft & Mount Any Wicked Broom in the Spook Shack
Tend any Paper Lanterns 10 Times on your Homestead or a Neighbors'
Have 10 Crafted Spook Shack Decorations
Paper Lanterns are crafted using Treats and Paper Bags, and can be "tended" once every three hours. The Brooms are also crafted inside the Spook Shack, with there being multiple options for you to choose from. Finishing this final goal gives you five Candy Bags, 1000 XP and a Witch Outfit for your avatar.
With this event, we now see four separate things to do in Pioneer Trail for Halloween, but luckily this particular activity will be around until the middle of November - November 18, to be exact - if you'd like to put it off in favor of finishing other things. If any additional Halloween content launches in Pioneer Trail between now and then, we'll make sure to let you know.

Pioneer Trail Lost Stallion Timed Goal: Everything you need to know
Ok, this is just getting a bit overwhelming. Don't get me wrong - I love Halloween. It's easily one of my favorites throughout the entire year, but the amount of Halloween content Pioneer Trail has seen released in the past few weeks is enough to overwhelm any player! Adding to that pile is a timed goal by the name of Lost Stallion. This one sees a ghost cowgirl named Hattie (don't worry - she's friendly - asking for help in searching for her lost ghost horse, Kelpie. You'll have five days to complete this timed goal once you manually start it, and here's what's expected of you:
Tend 30 Neighbor Non-Rideable Horses
Collect 15 Dark Compasses
Collect 15 Ghost Town Maps
If I were you, I'd wait on starting this one. The goal will be available to begin up until November 7, so why not wait a few days for your friends to send you the Dark Compasses and Ghost Town Maps by default (in the "send-one-get-one" situations) and then start the goal when you know you won't be so rushed?
If you can complete this goal within the first five days of starting it, you'll receive a Ghostly Buzzard Tree decoration, 300 XP and 300 coins. While this particular feature isn't incredibly difficult, it does make me wonder exactly when the cutoff will be for new Halloween content within the game. Zynga does realize October is only so long, right? They'll have to stop eventually... right?!

What do you think of this Lost Stallion timed goal? Are you looking forward to seeing even more Halloween content released in Pioneer Trail this month, or is it "enough already?!"
