Happy Maraween everyone,
I hope you all took some time to relax this month before we get into the craziness of Maraween, Thanksgiving, and Elfember.
If anyone can help out in November, we need hosts. Word scrambles, logic puzzles, questing challenges, dress up, or anything else you can think of. So far, we have nothing scheduled for November.
A big thank you to those of you who have been donating items to help out your fellow clubmates. All donations are always welcome. If it doesn't fit the current theme, it will just get saved in our gallery for a little while.

Maraween reminders
*The Haunted House does not give out crystals during Elger Trick or Treating. Be sure to stock up before the 24th if you need to train.
*Halloween Treats get expensive during Halloween Snowman questing. Be sure to stock up on them before the 15th. Halloween Snowman ONLY asks for Halloween Treats. In addition to this year's prizes, you can also win the Vintage Halloween Snowman Costume or Halloween Snowman Costume from the Halloween Snowman.
*You will need a properly costumed pet to participate in Elger ToT. In addition to this year's prizes, you can win Fake Zombie Costume and Ball of Zombie Yarn.
I have a list on my blog from last year's approved costumes.

*No guarantee, but over the last few years Ian has given us free training at both gyms, free school, and free university starting on Halloween. See my planning blog for a list of last year's free training costumes.
*Stock up on AU before it gets even more expensive. Ian always releases lots of AU items during Maraween, Thanksgiving, and Elfember. Temples are also a great source of AU.

10/3-10/13 - ATM ToT Registration (Dani)
https://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=505806&id=5428864
It's that time of year! Witches are making sure their brooms are flight worthy, skeletons are making sure they didn't lose any bones, pumpkins are being sacrificed for pies and some are turning into their alter ego Jack O;Lantern! Yes! It is almost Halloween!! As we all wait for bated breath for the site events, and the return of the great evil Beelzebub, don't forget to register for the club trick or treat!!
Registration opens October 3 and closes October 13
Registration is simple, to register simply create a blog and title it ATM 2025 Club TOT. Then go to Dani's blog, post your name and blog address, and you are registered! Do NOT mail or MT Dani saying you want to register. You must register on her blog.
Trick or Treating starts October 15 and ends October 31
Once you are registered and trick or treating starts others can and will visit your blog to leave tricks or treats! Some people may start trick or treating early, and that is acceptable. You do not have to start before October 15, but if you really want to then that is ok.
Ok so you registered, now what? Well when trick or treating stars you visit other people's blogs to leave them a message in the comments and send them a trick or a treat. Your message can be a story, it can be simply "Happy Maraween item has been sent to person". You may visit other people more than once if you wish.
Some people like to do fun little stories as well as sending the trick or treat such as "As Dani approached the house she heard horrible screams and saw the lights flickering off and on. Frightened she turned to run. When she looked back she saw Stage Lights laying on the ground and put them in her bag. Stage Lights has been sent to Dani." The stories are always optional, but they a sore fun to read and see how creative people can get.
You do not have to trick or treat the entire list of people, but I hope that everyone who participate does trick or treat the full list.
Please keep the treats a reasonable value.
Keep in mind that if you participate you may or may not get equal or greater value tricks and treats. This is meant to be a fun little club activity, and is not a guarantee that you will receive high priced items or things off your wish list.
After registration closes this page will have a full list of all participants as well as the address of their blogs to make things easier and so everyone can find who's participating at a glance.
HAVE FUN!!
note from me -- I have collected a bunch of sample ToT from previous years ranging from elaborate stories to super simple. You can visit my planning blog for extra ideas. https://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=503941&id=2039393
10/3-10/17 ATM Pumpkin Smash (Cygnet)

If you see a pumpkin in the quiz, it means a Pumpkin Smash game is going on. The rules are simple. Guess the correct letter in ???pumpkin smash.??? You win the pumpkin and a surprise trick or treat.
10/10-10/15 ATM Blood Bath Ball (gwylynnsgarden)
https://www.marapets.com/blogs.php?entry=504861&id=2039393
ATM Club Members enter to win Bloody Feet! All you have to do is post a photo of your character in your Blood Ball Costume. You can wear anything you want, but it has to include BLOOD! or the illusion of BLOOD!
Everyone who participates will be awarded 25,000 Club Points and be entered into the lottery to win Bloody Feet.
To post a picture of your current doll (it will stay that way and not change): type the word "DOLL" in caps with square brackets around it. Like this, except no spaces:
[ DOLL ]
Be sure to leave your username as well.
Don't let the size of your wardrobe stop you from entering. There are lots of "blood" items in shops such as Bloody Pants, Blood Contact Lenses, Blood Face Makeup Dye, as well as some of the Evil Clowns prizes such as Creepy Smile Face Makeup, Evil Clowns Face Makeup and more. Get creative with different shades of red. You don't need to have expensive items in your wardrobe to participate.
This game starts October 10th with the appearance of our good friend Beelzebub and will end on October 15th. The winner will be chosen by a random online list generator on October 16th.
Good luck!
