FarmVille LE Halloween Decorations: Pumpkin Fountain, Scaredycrow, Mummy Gnome & Pumpkin Fence

Continuing with the Halloween theme, FarmVille released several new Limited Edition decorations tonight including a Pumpkin Fountain, Scaredycrow, Mummy Gnome, and Pumpkin Fence.

All of these decorations can be purchased in the FarmVille Market during the next 14 days only. You may recognize them as previously unreleased items on FarmVille Freak. We think that all of the new Halloween limited edition items are an improvement over last year. Check out that Pumpkin Fountain! Zynga is really stepping up their artwork quality, would you agree?

FarmVille Halloween Items: Witch Costume, Halloween Candle Tree and more

With tonight's FarmVille update, we see the re-release of a few items into the game's store, including trees that haven't been gone for very long. There are quite a few new avatar costumes available for you to add to your wardrobe, including one for coins, so keep a lookout for that as well. As usual, here's our complete look at these items, so get that Farm Cash ready!

Trees

Fall Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Northern Red Oak Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Halloween Candle Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Big Halloween Candle Tree - 14 Farm Cash

Not to be confused with the Halloween Lantern Tree released earlier this month, the Halloween Candle Trees are darker, and are different trees with their own mastery signs. Of course, this still doesn't change the fact that you don't need to purchase the Big version, as it can be earned for free through mystery seedlings.

Animals

African Elephant - 1.5 million coins
Blue Dragon - 24 Farm Cash
Phantom Duck - 18 Farm Cash
Black Unicorn - 30 Farm Cash

The Blue Dragon is a re-release, with the animal first being available for free as a goal reward. If you didn't receive it then, or just want an extra, you can now purchase one / another for a limited time.

Buildings

Frankenstein Lab - 42 Farm Cash

Unfortunately, awesome items tend to come with a high price tag, as this one does. Still, if you need another large, Halloween-themed building on your land (if Count Duckula's Castle wasn't enough), and you have the Farm Cash to spare, you could definitely do much worse than this.

Decorations

Bunny Lantern - 5 Farm Cash
Gargoyle Statue - 6,000 coins
Spooky Lake - 32 Farm Cash

Here, the Gargoyle Statue is a re-release, so make sure to check your storage for any of them before needlessly spending more coins. It's a cheap item sure, but why not save those coins and put them towards something like the African Elephant instead?

Avatar Costumes

Vampire - 30 Farm Cash
Vampress - 34 Farm Cash
Witch - 30 Farm Cash
Knight - 30 Farm Cash
Princess - 100,000 coins

If you've put off buying a costume for your avatar this long, you can now make your avatar the princess in your story for coins, which is a plus. If you want to be a more traditional vampire or she-vampire, however, know that you'll need to shell out the big bucks for those.

All of these items look to be available in the game's store for the next two weeks, which gives you plenty of time, even after Halloween has passed, to stock up on decorations for next year. Happy shopping!

Check out the rest of our Halloween coverage right here.

Will you buy any of these expensive animals or decorations for your farms in FarmVille? How many of this year's Halloween-themed items have you splurged on so far?

FarmVille Halloween items: Candy Corn Tree, Halloween Cottage, Jack-O'-Lantern and more

With tonight's FarmVille update, we see the game switch to Halloween-mode, as the first set of Halloween related items has been released in the store. This particular update sees the launch of both new items and old, so if you happen to regret not purchasing some items from last year's Halloween theme, take a look at our overview of these items to see if they've come back around.

Crops

Jack O Lantern - 10 Farm Cash

To be specific, the Jack O Lantern crop comes as an exclusive, permit-only crop that can be unlocked for 10 Farm Cash. For that price, you'll gain access to planting the crop as many times as you'd like for a seven day period. Once purchased and planted, you'll be able to harvest the Jack O Lanterns after 12 hours, and will gain three experience points for each and every square planted. The crop is masterable, with the first star coming at 400 harvests.

Trees

Candy Corn Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Giant Candy Corn Tree - 14 Farm Cash
Halloween Candy Tree - 8 Farm Cash
Big Halloween Candy Tree - 14 Farm Cash

If you're like me, the thought of bright and whimsical trees will likely have you ready to whip out your credit card. These trees are no exception, as the Halloween Candy trees keep their purple color constantly, while the Candy Corn trees start out in different shades of green, only to mature into the classic white, yellow and orange trio of colors we're familiar with from the candy. As usual, the Level 1 (cheaper) trees are the only ones you really need to worry about purchasing outright for your collection, as you'll likely earn the larger trees in each pair for free via Mystery Seedlings.

Animals

Candy Corn Cat - 12 Farm Cash
Candy Corn Pony - 24 Farm Cash
Candy Corn Unicorn - 30 Farm Cash
Candy Corn Stallion - 35 Farm Cash

For these animals, the Candy Corn Pony was released last year (also for 24 Farm Cash), so you might already have one on your farm. If you'd like to purchase these items for your new Lighthouse Cove farm, however, you will have to purchase multiples (duplicates) as there is no way to transfer storage to your new farm as of this writing.

Buildings

Halloween Cottage - 30 Farm Cash
Candy Corn Home - 18 Farm Cash

The Halloween Cottage has to be one of the most intricately detailed buildings I've seen released in FarmVille in quite some time, if not ever. The building is covered in various spiderwebs and has candy, pumpkins and what appear to be twigs resting in the windowsills, around the front "porch" and the sides. Even the weather vane on the roof is in the design of the bat - how neat! As for the Candy Corn Home, it takes on a cuter appearance, with smaller candy corn pieces branching off from the main home as separate rooms. It's just a shame that both of these items cost Farm Cash, rather than going for coins.

Decorations

Candy Corn Gate - 10,000 coins
Candy Corn (Fountain) - 15 Farm Cash
Jack-O'-Lantern - 3,000 coins
Candy Corn Gnome - 15 Farm Cash
Candy Corn Fence - 5,000 coins

If this Jack-O'-Lantern trio looks familiar, it's because this is one item that has been a stable in FarmVille's Halloween events for the last few years, first appearing in 2009. The price has increased somewhat, but at 3,000 coins, it's still a bargain (especially considering that they glow as though lit with a candle).

Avatar Clothing

Banana Costume - 5 Farm Cash
Candy Corn Costume - 7 Farm Cash

While I'm fairly confident additional costumes will be launched in the game's store between now and Halloween proper, if you're looking to get into the spirit early, or just really like Bananas or Candy Corn, you can spend a few Farm Cash to dress your avatar up appropriately. Remember, you can try on items to see if you like the way your avatar looks in them before purchasing.

All of these items (with the exception of the crop) will be available in the game for the next 13 days. To top all of this off, however, if you happen to purchase seven items in this theme so far within the next seven days, you'll receive a free Nightmare Rider: a Halloween-themed sheep with a pumpkin hat and an orange and black flame motorcycle. We'll make sure to let you know when additional Halloween items and features launch in the game in the coming weeks, so keep checking back with us!

FarmVille Halloween Model Farm offers free Arborists and more

While I know I've expressed my problems with the Model Farm in FarmVille in the past, with the new Halloween Model Farm that launched this evening, I might have to eat my words. Not only is it great to see Halloween-themed items (from one of my favorite holidays) in all of their "life-size glory," but this particular Model Farm also combines these Halloween items with Lighthouse Cove items so that we can see how that looks without spending our own money beforehand.

To add to this, you're even given free prizes just for visiting, giving us even more incentive to do so. Tonight's free prize, for example, is an Arborist. While it's unclear as to whether or not that prize is static just for today's date on the calendar or for each user's first visit to the Model Farm, but either way, it doesn't hurt to just spend a few seconds allowing the farm to load each day to receive your free prize. It could be anything from functional items to coins and beyond so isn't the mystery alone enough reason to check it out?

No? Well, also remember that you can purchase items directly from the farm if you happen to see something you like but that the store never gave you enough detail to before. I suppose that's the real purpose of the Model Farm, after all, so feel free to put it to good use.

What prizes have you received from the new Halloween Model Farm? Do you find the Model Farm feature useful, or is it just wasted space in your eyes? Let us know in the comments!
