Halloween Mystery Boxes
Like Playfish says, "You can't have Halloween without costumes," and we couldn't agree more--but hunts for spooky treasure help. To make good on their own mantra, the team has added five new costumes to be found in Pet Society's Halloween Mystery Box. For just 1,100 coins each, players will have a chance at one of five costumes like the oddly familiar Spooky Clown costume (pictured). But remember, not every box is guaranteed to hold a brand new costume.
If you're willing to press your luck even further, the boxes are available in bundles of five and 13 as well for 4,400 and 11,000 coins, respectively. But you better take a gamble fast as these boxes, like all of the Halloween items in Pet Society, will only be available through Oct. 31.
Check behind the cut for a look at the rest of the costumes you might be lucky enough to find.
Werewolf
Zombie Girl
Mad Scientist
Frankenstein
While it would be simply too easy to say the Spooky Clown is our favorite considering its serious pop culture appeal (is it not obvious?), the Mad Scientist takes the cake. For pure couples costume potential, the Mad Scientist could go with any one of these costumes. Consider it a no-brainer for us.

ESPNU College Town Halloween Buildings and giant monster terrorize campus
Haunted House Corn Maze
And here you thought the Windows 7 update was it for ESPNU College Town in October. Well, Playdom decided to ring in Halloween in the most collegiate way possible in ESPNU: giant monsters! From now through Oct. 31, players will find a massive lizard (pictured right) thrashing about in their Giant Monstercampus to piercing screams of, "Gojira!"
Alright, that last part's a lie, but wouldn't that be awesome? In addition to having good old Big and Ugly roaming our universities, there are three limited edition Halloween buildings to pick up for Campus Cash. The Haunted House will give your students 600 Happiness and 300 XP for 15 Campus Cash, or about $4. For 12 Campus Cash (about $3.50), both the Corn Maze and Spooky Graveyard will grant players with a hefty 375 XP and 750 Happiness for their students. Not to mention that some team mascots have grown to monstrous sizes with more to come. Is there a Giant Mascots vs. Giant Lizard in the works? Probably not, but again that would be pretty awesome.

New FarmVille Agricultural Alchemy animal and building now available
It's Thursday, which means that we've seen another late-night update launched in FarmVille, with this update seeing Zynga releasing new items in the Harry Po---- err, Agricultural Alchemy theme. Tonight, we see the release of one new animal, and one new building in the theme, and we've got all of the details on how you can add these magical new items to your farm.
The new animal is the Wizard Duck, which costs 14 Farm Cash. Like other ducks, it can be harvested, and at a rate of once every 2 days. Meanwhile, the new building is the Wizard Castle, which is far more expensive at 40 Farm Cash. For making the splurge on this FarmVille version of Hogwarts, you'll receive 1200 bonus experience points.
Remember, for those looking for a gift to send a FarmVille friend, both of these items can be gifted, as they are premium items. But we won't tell if you decide to just keep them for yourself instead - no one would blame you.

FarmVille Agricultural Alchemy Decorations: Long Eared Owl, Wizard Gnome, & Magic Cart
Tonight's FarmVille update saw the release of not only a new animal and building in the Harry Potter inspired Agricultural Alchemy theme, but it also saw Zynga added three new decorative items to the game's store, all in the same theme.
These three items are the Long Eared Owl, the Wizard Gnome, and the Magic Cart. Even though the Long Eared Owl may technically represent an animal, make sure to note that this is purely a decorative item, as the owl can't be harvested from. It can however be purchased for a whopping 30 Farm Cash. The Wizard Gnome costs far less, at 12 Farm Cash, and finally, the Magic Cart costs 80,000 coins.
While you may have to perform some magic to afford the Owl or the Gnome, we're guessing that the Magic Cart's price will be much easier to swallow, as you'd have a much better chance of earning the 80,000 necessary coins within the 12 days that these items will remain in the store.

FarmVille Thanksgiving Animal & Buildings: Chicken Turkey, Cornucopia Home, & Pilgrim Cabin
It's time for another major item release in FarmVille, and tonight's update brings with it some items that we recently gave you guys some sneak peeks of.
The new items come from the Animals and Buildings sections of the FarmVille marketplace, with the new animal being the Chicken Turkey, and the buildings being the Cornucopia Home and Pilgrim Cabin.
With the release of the Chicken Turkey, we finally get to help this little fella escape a sad fate this Thanksgiving, as we can offer the Turkey-in-a-Chicken-disguise a permanent home on our farms. He'll cost you 18 Farm Cash to rescue, and he can be harvested every 2 days (but will thankfully never receive the actual axe).
Meanwhile, the new buildings are the Cornucopia Home and the Pilgrim Cabin, one of which we knew was coming, and the other being a surprise (the latter). The Cornucopia Home is a premium item, costing 15 Farm Cash, while the Pilgrim Cabin will set you back 300,000 coins, and will reward 3000 experience points in return.
All three of these items have a current time limit of 12 days, at which time they will leave the store, presumably for good, or perhaps just until next year's Thanksgiving celebration.

FarmVille Thanksgiving Decorations: Squirrel Pumpkin, Duck Balloon, & More
Along with the new Thanksgiving animal and buildings that were released in FarmVille this evening, we also see the release of four new decorations that we can be thankful for.
The new decorations are split evenly between those that are premium items and those that go for traditional coins. For those willing to spend some Farm Cash this holiday season, you can pick up the Squirrel Pumpkin (a formerly Sneak Peek item) and the Duck Balloon (which finally makes an appearance - see the release of the Cow and Horse Balloons earlier in the week). The Squirrel Pumpkin costs 15 Farm Cash, while the Duck Balloon costs just 5 Farm Cash.
Meanwhile, if you wish to save your Farm Cash and spend just coins, you can purchase either the Harvest Cart or the Flamingo Grass. The Harvest Cart costs 50,000 coins, and rewards 500 experience points for purchasing, while the Flamingo Grass comes in at the bargain price of 2,000 coins.
All of these items are currently labeled with a 12 day time limit, which should give you plenty of time to decide whether or not to purchase any of these items in between bouts of real-world holiday festivities.

Mall World partners up with Nickelodeon for VicTORious promotion
Mall World Victorious
Mall World has teamed up with Nickelodeon to help promote the second season of the hit show VicTORious. In this TV show, young aspiring star Tori Vega attempts to make it big while navigating high school life at Hollywood Arts. Mall World's promotion of the show includes a brand new store filled with outfits from the show, and also a new theme of Dressing Room Game in which you have to match accessories to an outfit on a character from the show.
The new store features tons of items modeled on cartoon depictions of the characters from the show. Some of the available clothing items and accessories include the Tori Plaid Blazer, Destiny Leather Jacket, Tori's Make It Shine Dress, Vega's Party Dress, and The Jade Lace Sweater.
This is a pretty decent promotional crossover, although we suspect that the Facebook gaming demographic doesn't align directly with the demographic of those who watch Nickelodeon shows about teen girls. This could still end up being a profitable advertisement for VicTORious considering that Mall World has almost 6 million monthly players.
