The 2013 Halloween event is HERE! You first have a app update (For Android it was 35.88 MB) followed by the in-game update.
The Event ends on November 7, 2013.
This event also adds more land for Springfield!
First thing to note is a detail from the What’s New on the App Store. It says, “Plus, don’t miss Treehouse of Horror XXIV in FOX, Sunday October 6th, for your chance to unlock a unique outfit for Homer.”
Halloween 2013 Log In Screen
LIMITED TIME EVENT – 9/26/13 to 10/1/13
EVENT IS OVER.
This series ties into the Season 25 Premiere of the Simpsons. My guess is that it will end before the scheduled Halloween event on 10/1 but there is no official word yet. It’s a short quest line so no worries on finishing it in time.
Lisa: Wow, Dad. What are you doing up so early?
Homer: Getting ready for work.
Lisa: But you rarely ever go to work. At least not on time. Or with — what’s that thing on your face — a smile?
Homer: Yep. I’m smiling because for two glorious days and one even more glorious night, work isn’t actually going to work. It’s going to be a convention!
Lisa: What’s so great about that? What happens at a convention?
Homer: Uh… nothing. Just work. It’s really boring.
Homer: Now where’s that inflatable gorilla wearing women’s underwear that I ordered?

Homer: Good idea. I’ll start with my convention supplies. Ball-point pens, notepads, business cards…
Lisa: Okay, Dad. I’ll leave you to it.
Homer: Great. See you later, sweetie!
Homer: Now to dump this crap and put in my real conventions supplies. Champagne, animal tranquilizers, superhero costume…

THE SEASON 25 TIE-IN IS LIVE! See it HERE.
Quick update to get ready for the Halloween event and the new Season Tie-In. 9/23/13.
Homer: Oh no! It’s almost the start of October… which due to the scheduling of baseball games on FOX, is when Halloween comes to Springfield!
Lisa: *sigh* I wish we could have it at the end of the month like normal people.
Homer: I just want it to be over. It’s always so scary, with the aliens and movie parodies and main characters dying. All the rules are off!
Lisa: That’s because it’s non-canonical, Dad. Dying doesn’t count.
Homer: I know, but it still hurts. And this year I want to be prepared. Can you find out what’s going to be happening here this year?
Lisa: Hmm, maybe. Let me check online.

Out of Your Depth – 5gs – You’re gonna need a bigger boat…
This achievement / trophy is for getting eaten by a shark. Easiest way is to head to the pier and take a boat or jet ski out into the ocean. The sharks will show up on your radar as a red dot since they are hostile. When close to one, simply dive into the water and let that shark take a nice big bite out of your body. Getting a knife before hand is helpful as you need to provoke the shark into attacking you. Unlocked.
Kifflom! – 30gs – Complete your path to enlightenment… or not.
This is a cool series of Stranger & Freaks missions for Michael. Check out our video for a complete walkthrough of this quest line.

Each mission in the game has various requirements for getting 100% completion and they don’t tell you what these requirements are until after you’ve finished them for the first time. Luckily we will show you the requirements here to help you out since we are nice like that. Note that restarting a checkpoint via dying or failed objective will typically void any accuracy percentage or time limit goals. You will end up with a CHECKPOINT for time and will have to restart the entire mission for the Gold.
This page covers as our Collectibles guide for the Letter Scraps in Grand Theft Auto V. These are available right at the start of the game and finding all 50 opens a quest to solve the murder.
