Featuring the famous costume contest, live in-game bands and fan favourite activities you have all come to know and love! It is not to be missed, we bring frights and delights! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ##PLOT FOR 2020 Ancient magic is stirring once more in the port-city of [Lion's Arch ](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lion%27s_Arch "Lion's Arch"). However, the chill autumn wind feels slightly more potent as [Halloween ](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Halloween "Halloween. ") approaches. 265 years of concentrated madness, mischief and merriment has caused an unforeseen crisis. While Tyrians sleep, [The Mad Realm ](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mad_King%27s_Realm "The Mad Realm. ") exerts its influence, causing dreams to manifest as nightmares. [Mad King Thorn](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mad_King_Thorn "Mad King Thorn")* is using these empowered Night-Mares to cause even more mayhem then usual. Mortals are in peril as the Demented Monarch has set his sights on bringing forth a Legendary Bone Skinner at the 13th hour. All is not lost however, an elusive and mysterious Night-Catcher has been spotted sprinting about the roof tops catching these rogue spirits, for what end? Aurene's Champion and [allies](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Choya "allies") are summoned to investigate. Join Frozenwind & Malafide as they race against time to restore and burn the Wickerman. This must be done before the Witching Hour strikes, or the Night-Mares become real forever! *He may kill you in the process. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ## A MESSAGE FROM THE MAD KING _Although Halloween has lain dormant, there comes a time._ _When revellers awaken, and hear the bell chime._ _Ghouls stir in patchwork beds and skeletons arise from dusty tombs._ _Drawn by the Horror, this magic - the greatest of boons._ _The Mad Monarch Thorn, calls to one and all._ _Away from Palawa, and the tar of his thrall._ _With him stands Malafide, Queen supreme._ _And an Old Snowman, a merry one indeed._ _They wait for you to arrive, beneath the cold Mad Moon._ _For the 15th tradition - is bound to begin soon._ _So linger a while, under the pale moonlight._ _The Horrorween is here, it's time to fright and delight!_ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ## Sponsored Guild(s) - Guardian's of the Dutch [GOTD] (For donating the vast majority of event prizes & hosting event TeamSpeak) - [CMAJ] for providing the famous live band "The Ghostly Quartet". _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ##EVENT SCHEDULE - 24TH OCTOBER 6PM CEST 17:30 | The Night Catcher 18:00 | Introduction / Will-O'-Wisps 18:30 | Last is First / Lunatic Royale 19:00 | Phantasmal Parade 19:30 | Spooky Scary Skimmers 20:00 | The Ghostly Quartet a.k.a Minstrels of Grenth 20:30 | Wolf Pack 21:00 | Cauldron Conundrum 21:30 | Blasphemous Beetle-Boost 22:00 | "Restoring Grenth's fashion sense" Costume Contest 22:30 | Mad King Says / Pumpkin Bobbing 23:00 | The Night Flight 23:30 | The Nightmare Cometh (Wicker Ritual) 00:00 | The Witching Hour - Finale Firework show 00:30 | The After Party & The Community Spirit Award _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ## FAQ **How do I take part?** - The event shall be held on EU servers, in Lion’s Arch, on the 24th of October, starting at 6pm CEST! - All you have to do is attend, take part in the festivities, and fabulous prizes will be in store for you. **Help, I’m not on an EU server, or I can’t make it!** - Not to worry!

Daniel Frozenwind.2946 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 # CROSS SERVER CONTESTS ## THE OFFICIAL ART CONTEST To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the oldest community event in the history of Guild Wars, we are holding a spooktacular Halloween art contest. To enter, post a Halloween art piece that you created, including one of the event's hosts, or both. [Link to contest](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/115988/the-king-and-queens-horrorween-2020-official-art-contest#latest) PRIZES The top three best art pieces will each receive a grand prize (see below). The winners will be announced at the end of October, after the Horrorween event, and their prizes will be mailed to them in game. The Queen is eager to soon frame your marvelous creations on the walls of her icy palace. 1ST PLACE PRIZE: 200 gold and a highly coveted Llama mini 2ND PLACE PRIZE: 100 gold and a precursor weapon 3RD PLACE PRIZE: 50 gold and a precursor weapon (With possibly more prizes to follow) ## THE RAFFLE Pick a number between 1 and 200, and we’ll randomly draw five winners from that list, during the event. Just pick one number and your character name, and post in this thread which number you’ve chosen. You can’t take a number that has already been picked, and one number per account. Some folks may receive a different number automatically, if they choose a number that is already taken. Without a character name, we can’t send you the prize. Make sure you spell it right. And yes, US players can take part as well! **Raffle extended to 200 due to overwhelming interest.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ghastly group of judges will be lending their dark votes to this tradition. Best male, female, and "Ugly Stick" win special prizes and maybe something exclusive from the gem store! Dress your spookiest! **THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT AWARD** We have a Legendary prize in store for one Tyrian (but it is a secret, and anyone who knew about the prize has been buried alive). Simply attend the event to have a shot at this prize. **SCAVENGER HUNT** A masterfully witty scavenger hunt to re-build the Wickerman, presented in five stages throughout the event. The first person to successfully gather the parts required will be rewarded in a big way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
