The PHB’s 5th Annual Halloween Costume Competition

5thPHB halloween

(UPDATE: This contest is now closed; click here for the winners!)

You read right! Now for the fifth year in a row, the Poptropica Help Blog will be running a Halloween-themed Poptropica costume contest, in which you flaunt your eeriest Poptropica fashion and see how it stacks up with the competition.

Ten winners will be selected to have their costumes featured in the PHB’s popular Costumes page, plus they’ll have their costumes featured on the PHB’s front page when the winners are announced on Halloween (October 31, when the contest ends)! Read on for more details.

Before you rush out to put together your masterpiece, please keep these rules in mind:

  1. IDEAS: Be original! We like to see that you’ve put effort into creating something spooky yet fashionable for the season, so simply copying (as opposed to mixing and matching) will probably hurt your chances. There are some great costume parts at the ghoul gathering from the end of the Haunted House quest from the Store, but be creative and search in other places too!
  2. DON’T CHANGE: Keep your costume intact until after the winners are announced. If you change your costume back, we may not get to see your brilliant entry! If you don’t want to keep the costume on your main account, you can create a new one and post that instead.
  3. ENTERING: After you’ve created your costume, here’s how you should post your entry: go to the Avatar Studio, type in your username, click Load, click on the Link to highlight it, right-click and choose Copy, go to the comments section on this post, right-click and choose Paste, type in your comment and submit so we can view your costume by clicking the link! Name your costume and post the username if you want. If you are having problems with the Avatar Studio, just post the username so we can check it. You may submit as many different entries as you like, but you can only win a maximum of one time (out of the 10 winners to be chosen).

(side note: the competition banner above features jameskiro’s spooky party clown, one of the winners last year. other past winners can also be viewed on the costumes page!)

*hisses*

good luck!

      3. I go through a lot of costumes. It’s not like I’m going to remember a costume from a year ago. Hence, I don’t even remember what I was wearing 2 months ago!

      5. Ok. Maybe your brother made a similar costume a while ago. Many people make the Rock Star and emo-looking costumes.

    1. As mentioned in the post, 10 winners will be selected to have their names and costumes featured on the front page of the PHB on Halloween, plus they’ll have a spot on the Costumes page, where you can also check out the previous winners.

  45. hey fishy can we do more than one and will they both be entered even if the 2nd costume is on my poptropican instead of the 1st?

    1. Make sure you check the rules, please! You can have as many different entries as you want, however, only a maximum of one costume will be chosen for each person. Your costumes need to be on separate accounts, otherwise we’ll only see the one you’re wearing.

    Lady of the East
    I hope that this isn’t plagiarism. This is a costume based on a character in a book, but I don’t think anyone made this yet because the book, The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns was released like, this year. The Lady of the East is a spirit of Old Queen Beauty (From Beauty and the Beast) that aids those in need of help.

I’ve been trying to come up with some type of story that could go along with my characters outfit, Okay so this will be short.. rofl, He was a evil scientist trying to find a way for humans/poptropicans to have Immortality(to live forever). So.. he had an accident with the machinery.. and he was taken over by the electronics. He is now.. a mad scientist/robot whatever you wish to call him.

    1. After you finish the Haunted House miniquest (which you can get from the Store), you can attend the ghoul gathering which features lots of cool Halloween costume parts you can borrow (as mentioned in this post) as well as the “Zombify” costume and power, which turns you and/or others into zombies. If you need a guide for the Haunted House, we’ve got one here. 🙂

    She is a Mad Scientist who is known as Dr. Evil Lin. She lives on Super Villain Island as a “doctor” and performs surgeries both minor and serious on all villains. No heroes, just villains. She also comes up with cures to all kinds of diseases. So to sum it up, she helps the ill and injured villains get well to fight the good. The only weakness she has is a potion that can only be made by her sister, Dr. Reanne Goodwin, a Hero Scientist.

  91. I was just wondering, does the costume have to be scary? Could it be a costume of a character from a book/movie? And if it can be a character, will it effect the judging? Thanks in advance!

    1. It doesn’t have to be scary, and you can base it off a character from a book/movie if you like, especially if you think you can put an original/creative spin on it, since that will matter when it comes to judging. Sometimes Halloween costumes are based on existing characters, so it’s fine. 🙂

    We’ve all seen Poptropicans dress up as a cat (thanks to the glitch), and we’ve seen cats roaming the Poptropica Islands, but did any Poptropican come across the Cheshire Cat? So I present, my Halloween costume, the Cheshire Cat, based on Disney’s 1951 Alice in Wonderland. And for those who don’t know who he is, here’s a link to an image of him: http://images.wikia.com/aliceinwonderland/images/5/59/Cheshire-Cat-color1.gif
