Happy Halloween, Poptropicans! It’s finally time to unveil the winners of this year’s PHB Halloween Competition, which came in two parts: costumes and Photo Booth. We’re celebrating our recent milestone of 20 million hits by choosing 20 winners; 10 for each portion. Here we go…
Part I: Costumes
Mirror, mirror on the wall; who’s the scariest of them all? Well, the PHB team enjoyed looking at the great number of ghastly garbs that dared to enter this hallowed competition, and we’ve finally narrowed it down to ten of this year’s best! These guys get the honor of being shown on the front page via this post, as well as having their costumes immortalized on the PHB’s Costumes page. Check ’em out:
Part II: Photo Booth
The Creators may have held their own Photo Booth Halloween challenge, but we were first – and we did promise to award memberships to the winners! 😉 Check out these spine-chilling spectacles created right in Home Island’s Photo Booth (with a bit of clever image editing in #2)!
If you are one of the Photo Booth winners, check your email for a message from the PHB regarding having your membership awarded to you. #1 gets a 6-month membership, #2 and #3 get a 3-month each, and #4-10 each get a 1-month! Might come in handy for the upcoming Escape from Pelican Rock Island. 😛
We had hundreds of entries for the PHB’s 7th Annual Halloween Competition, and regardless of whether or not yours made this list, thank you for participating! If you’d like to check out everyone’s entries, browse the comments section of the contest post before it’s too late. 😉
Still in the Halloween spirit? Check out the new PHB post, “Scariest Poptropica Moments”!
👻 † Happy Halloween from the PHB! † 👻

Dance like a Zomberry!
Congratulations to all of the winners! 😀
Well, I didn’t win, but there’s always next year! 😉
That’s the spirit! 😀
Yup! 😀 Wanted to send more entries, but after exam started I ran out of ideas! XD
PHB is there going to be photo booth competition next year too? 🙂
Maybe! Perhaps there’ll be Photo Booth competitions for other occasions. But we can’t promise anything. 😛
Congratulations to all the winners. Too bad i didn’t win. Hope I have more opportunities.
*there are
not I have
We have a PHB contest every Halloween, plus other fun events throughout the year, so more opportunities will probably come up at some point! 🙂
OMG, WE WON SOMETHING! 😀 😀 😀
Yayyyyy! 😀
And AWESOME to everyone else who entered! 😀
Happy Halloween, guys!
Congrats you two! Great work! 😀
Congrats to all of the winners! And I’m glad I was one of the top 5 for the costume contest. cx
top 10*
Congrats on being one of the costume winners! 😀
Thanks, Fishy!
Congratulations to the winners and GG to every one that entered 🙂
Congrats on being one of the Photo Booth winners! 😀
thank you!
Yes!!!!!!
Indeed! Congrats on your Demon Fairy! 😀
All the winners looked awesome!
Definitely! And even many entries who didn’t win were awesome, but this being a contest, we couldn’t pick them all. 🙂
yeah i won
Yup! Great work! 😀
in the photo booth contest in 3rd place,yeh
fishy,what should i do now to get membership
Watch your email for a message from the PHB regarding having us award you your membership. It’ll be sent in the next day or so, so don’t worry. 😉
Rigged
Nope. What makes you say that?
Because he/she didn’t win.
Judging by the fact that our account came out of practically nowhere and that our first few comments ever were on the submission post, and also that our picture was pretty cool and therefore won, I wouldn’t exactly say that it was rigged. Everyone had amazing entries, but remember, they DID have to pick just a few. Personally, we had a TON of fun looking through all the other entries, yours included!
I say it is rigged, in my opinion, because some costumes/photos didn’t look that great. Then I saw who made them (hint, hint), and then I thought it was rigged.
I personally went through every costume and photo entry to determine the winning entries, and also considered input from other PHB staff. I believe the winning entries are of quality, but whether you agree or not is a matter of opinion.
The process was quite fair and in no way “rigged”; as in, winners were not pre-determined before the contest had even begun. Those who won are PHB readers just like you – I don’t see how who they are makes any difference in their chances.
Okay. But I have the opinion to say it was rigged.
Congratulations to all the winners! For those who didn’t win, there’s always next time! Happy Halloween! 😉
Well,at least I got an honourable mention,so I’m counting that as a win! Thanks guys!
Also,the funny thing about ‘Dead Ringer’ is that I made it before the halloween makeover the photo booth got! So I guess that shows you even photos not having any halloween extras the creators added still had a chance,and mine was up there!
It wasn’t just an honorable mention – all the Photo Booth pics shown in the post won a membership! For the Photo Booth pics, 4th to 10th place wins a 1-month membership. Watch your email for a message from the PHB regarding having your membership awarded to you. 🙂 And congrats!
Hope you don’t mind the (pun-intentional) “Dead Ringer” title, by the way – yours was untitled, so one was made for you. 😛
Oh really?Wow,I actually won something for once!Cool!
Er,I mean,yeah,just another win for me!I’m such a pro!
No,I’m fine with the name. It’s quite creative,really. What I really want to know is why it’s better than the others,because in my opinion,they were quite close. They also have a running theme with them-try figuring it out if you have the time (Hint: There are 3 characters who appear in every photo. One of them has the same role in each photo)!
The “ringing” effect with your character amid a graveyard of zombies was a cool concept. We saw lots of creative Photo Booth entries, but in the end had to narrow it down to 10!
Also, what’s the running theme? 😛
Haha,the running theme with mine is my character’s obliviousness to everything happening around him.
In the first one,he’s just trying to call someone while there are ghosts and zombies everywhere.
In the second and third,he’s trying to rob graves but also is oblivious to the spooky peeps behind him.
In the fourth (which is my personal favourite-though #5 is similar),he’s just knocking on the door,while,er…see the photo for everything.
In the last one,he’s angrily talking on his phone again while the disco is getting crashed by zomberries.
Dr.Lange and the Vampire Hunter are both there in all photos,but their roles vary.
Also,where are the photos themselves going to be featured? On the home island page or something?
The photos will just be featured in this post. However, unlike the Costumes winners, the Photo Booth winners get memberships, which is its own new level of prizes! 🙂
I’m sad I didn’t win, but there’s always next year! I hope I win something next time (or even something at all!)
Thanks for entering! 🙂
my current email: [redacted]
All winners have now been contacted via email. 😉
Oh well! There’s always next year! =) It wad fun this year!
Glad you had fun! 🙂
Thanks and congrats to all the winners!
Congrats on being one of the costume winners! 😀
Wow… I honestly never thought I would place in the costume section xD. Thanks though! Glad to participate (and extremely fortunate to be a winner)! Glad you liked my costume :).
Congrats! The Ghostly Flier was a pretty solid costume. 😀
I CALL CHEAT! GLITCH COSTUMES AND RARES SHOULD NOT COUNT!
“Glitching” for costume parts is part of a noticeable portion of the Poptropica community, and probably inevitable in a costume contest anyway. However, there’s still an art to assembling good costumes that may make use of “rare” as well as “common” parts. As we mentioned a while back on the PHB, just because a costume contains “rares” does not make it a “good outfit” (in some cases, it could even be the opposite).
Since this was a contest about making good outfits, and not about who has the best rares, rares weren’t forbidden (nor were they required). Also, the status of whether something is rare or not can fluctuate, which can be hard to account for.
Still feel that rare and glitches should not count in a costume contest, Fishstick.
I get what you mean. Rares are obtained through unconventional means that not everyone knows about until they do some research, but that’s how it is unless Poptropica decides to do something about it (which we addressed in that PHB post). However, it’s not about the rares in this contest, but about making a solid, original costume. 😉
I think next time, only “common” costume parts can be used, not rares.
Haha.. Fishstick.. ^^
I was chatting with my friend that competed in this competition also, and they mentioned their costume won. I congratulated them, but I misread them saying they won membership, when it was apparently me. xD I rushed over to this site to see their costume up with the other winners, and scrolled down to see my picture. Glad it was liked at least enough to be considered a winner. 🙂 Thanks a ton! 😀
I have a question though. Do I just reply to the email with the required information, or do I have to do something on here? (Just making sure of things. 😛 )
Well, thanks again. I can’t wait ’til next year. 🙂
Yup, please reply to the email so we can give you the membership. Congrats on winning! 😀
Congratulations to everyone who won! And for everyone who entered, we can try to make it next time. c:
Thanks for entering, Wolfy! 🙂
Membership active… Now to buy out the store, finish those store mini games, and complete the bonus quest things on a bunch of the islands. Wish me luck! 😀 (Probably other things that I can’t think of at the moment, but those are the main things. ^_^)
If I remember correctly, someone said that after membership expires, you can’t use the things that you bought in the store that required membership to obtain. Is that true?
Enjoy! Yup, anything from the Store you bought for free using membership cannot be used unless your membership gets re-activated.
You changed the PHB’s header? Looking good.
Yup, glad you like it! 😀
Fishy,when my membership expires,can i use my closet whenever i want
Unfortunately, no, the closet can only be used when you’re a member. However, non-members can save costumes to their closet (but not customize from them) by using the costume booth in PoptropiCon: Episode 1. 😛 Costumes you save will remain in the closet regardless of membership, though.
Better luck next time i tryed
Thanks for entering, Ethan! 🙂
oh my gosh, i can’t believe i actually won! this is awsome. i plan on using my prize to 1. complete all the extra mission membership only exclusives, 2. buy some membership stuff, 3. store some costumes ( i have wanted to do this for so long!) and 4. hopefully use it for the prison island. again, thanks so much!
Awesome! Enjoy your new membership, Big Crush! 😀
I CAN”T BELIEVE IT!!!*faints*
Congrats on first place, Brave Thunder! Have fun with your new membership!! 😀
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
Congrats, guys!!
Well, there’s always next year… *sniff*
It’s okay! We hope you had fun entering. Thanks for being part of our Halloween festivities, and keep an eye out for more PHB events! 😀
Kk. 😀
Every year you can win anything, this was my first year next time I wish to get the best costume.
Congrats on winning, and enjoy your membership, Neat Bee! 😀
thanks for the member, I want to thank everyone for entering.
I know… I have the worst costumes though lol
Fishy,
I’m sorry for disturbing, but to complete my costume, i want that mouth from the green alien girl sitting on the couch in PoptropiCon Episode 2. she sits on the couch on 2nd floor beside the creep hanging from the ceiling (pinata man)
:3
I’ve used the Coustomize everything glitch for SUIs about 7 times now. is there any way i could get it?!
If you find any way to get it, plz tell me
~YS
If the Costumize Everything Glitch doesn’t work here, I’m not sure what else you can do. Have you tried clicking the button that shows you all the parts you can customize (after you’ve done the glitch)?
Yep. I’ll try again to make sure.
Hm well, i guess i can’t get it. Toodles!
This is so da best day of my existense!!!(or life)
The My Chemical Romance one is my favorite. I love Helena (The Song)
I only really play the Poptropica app (I prefer it) so it was a bit hard for me to make a costume. I’m planning on playing the online version more, but I actually started my account on the app. I should make a Welcome to the Black Parade costume next year tho, lol
Costumize everything SUI version is patched. I found another way using a different browser.Oh and the ASG with that mouth is hauntedog.
Yeah go Red
Just goes to show that this contest wasn’t rigged, I’m pretty much a nobody on this site and I still somehow won XD anybody who genuinely believes this was faked is simply immature and jealous
As for the place I earned, I must say I’m very humbled and flattered ^^ I never really planned on winning, just participating, but it’s nice to know fellow fans liked my elf girl
WOW! I can’t believe I didn’t win! I really thought I would 😦

Aw, don’t worry – we did like your costume (especially those muscles 😉 ) even though it didn’t place. Thanks for entering! 🙂
I won! Yes!
