Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
The 2015 THOH Event hit our devices recently and it appears that it’s setup much like previous events..in various Acts.
Act 3 started earlier today and runs until November 17th. And as usual a questline is provided to help guide you along the way. So let’s take a look at the Turbo Tappin’ version of the THOH questline for Act 3….

This will auto-complete for you if you have it already…
And that completes the main Act 3 questlines and the side quest for crafting!
What are your thoughts on Act 3 so far? Thoughts on the questline and dialogue? What do you think about the crafting/prizes for Act 3? Thoughts on defeating the M’nthster? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I get that the campfire no longer spawns nightmares. Really. I got it. How can I complete the evil shopkeepers quest to collect 100 bunnies (today’s challenge) so I can move to the other daily challenges and get the 20 donut prize now if I have to wait far down the line to begin generating nightmares via other methods?
First..today’s challenge is 30 bunnies not 100. Tomorrow’s challenge will open for you tomorrow even if you don’t complete today’s. So don’t panic. You can get the bunnies from neighbors or wait until you unlock the Hunt Nightmares Task for the kids…
At this point, adults have no associated tasks and can be sent out on, say, 8 hour tasks – do y’all see anything on the near horizon that would make this a less than desirable choice?
Have you answered this before, such that I am forcing you to be redundant and repetitive?
No sense in sending the adults..send them on other tasks more beneficial to how you play the game 🙂
Wow this has been one of the crappiest events in a while.
Stranded for the daily challenges until the nightmares reappear 😡
You’re not stranded. First, tomorrow’s task will open for you tomorrow even if you don’t complete todays. Second, go visit neighbors. As long as you didn’t finish your 90 actions you’ll be able to get the bunnies for the challenge from the neighbors.
I miss the easy-to-get 20 bonuts from the shopkeepers tasks. But we all new it was generous to a fault.
great job alissa. Thanks
But this event is so lame…
First time I end an event with more dunuts than I started .
all in for christmas !!!
Thank you so much for the coverage of this, but let me just say how frustrating I am with the bait and switch EA pulled here.
For several weeks I’ve been upgrading my campfire, seeing how long was left in the event and planning to spend the last week or so cranking out zombies for Wailing Walls. Then EA not only renders all those upgrades useless, but takes away most of our ability to focus on crafting a specific currency.
This is really disappointing
Let me just say how frustrated I am by people thinking this was a bait and switch! It wasn’t! You got benefits from upgrading your campfire during Acts 1 and 2 and, during Act 2, you could have spawned nothing but zombies and still leveled up. And, even if you didn’t know that (since it was just something that folks here noticed and posted about, not something mentioned in the game), it’s STILL not bait and switch, because EA never said that nightmares WOULD continue to spawn from the campfire in Act 3 – that was just an assumption that you made. So, go ahead and feel disappointed, but characterizing it as “bait and switch” is not fair/correct.
Zomg zomg the nightmares aren’t spawning anym…. just kidding. Is there a list of other characters who can fight besides the 4 freemium kids?
Just those 4….the premium ones would be the costumes for Milhouse, Lisa and Martin
Just wondering am I the only one who already has Apu’s Apocalypse Jeep
I have it. And the only candy apples I’ve got so far are from tapping nightmares in my town ’cause I haven’t progressed through the Sandwich Horror yet. If this is any indication of how the act will progress, the panicked posts will taper off soon. I hope so anyways.
No , I got it this afternoon after knocking Mnthester out of the sky. 🙂
I have it and almost have homers skin
Woah!! Have u get homers costume so fast I worked out that 800×13=10000 so I should get the last prize the way I’m going at!! ☺️
That’s fast ._. I haven’t even gotten the jeep…how are you doing it?
You’re not alone
For”Defeat the M’nthster at the Campfire,” do we send other kids besides Martin, Lisa, Milhouse and Bart? Above it mentions sending kids multiple times
Nope just those 4 can go.
Noticed that my fire is not generating bunnies, skeletons, zombies etc. Nor does any quest. How do we continue progress on leveling fire or getting candy apples?
Thanks for your help.

Since the update hit, there are no more rabbits or other ghosts in my town, is that normal?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/11/04/treehouse-of-horrors-act-3-is-live/
Hi. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed fewer nightmares around now that this Act has started? Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but the bunnies are not scampering around nearly as much as they were during the rest of the event.
Because they’re not spawning from the campfire like they did before
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/11/04/treehouse-of-horrors-act-3-is-live/
Thanks for the link. I’m reading all about it now. This site is GREAT!
Anyone else have their campfire stop spawning and their cue not work anymore? I used to be able to release my snake logs and then the campfire and have the snakes knocked into the cue and come out as what the campfire was spawning, but now they just disappear and I only get 20 of the 36 from my campfire. Plus, ZERO zombies are there when I log on and none spawn while I’m there, I’m ONLY getting the 20 from the fire 🙁 I’ve never had glitches as bad as with this event 🙁
Read this post..
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/11/04/treehouse-of-horrors-act-3-is-live/
Now my city won’t spawn any nightmares ( Benny’s,zombies,etc.) or at least I can’t see them it says my town is full of nightmares… But there invisible?
the popup is a glitch
I don’t know about anybody else but I’ve started The Sandwich Horror and have sent kids to the campfire to generate nightmares, however there aren’t as many nightmares being generated! I would say only 20% of what used to happen….is this normal?
They won’t randomly spawn…they’ll only appear when you complete the task at the campfire.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/11/04/treehouse-of-horrors-act-3-is-live/
I noticed after the last update, only a few nightmares showed up after the kids completed their tasks, not near the full amount. Anyone else notice that? For instance some were supposed to be snakes and some zombies, but only a few snakes showed up…
Yes. I noted that harvesting the kids from the campfire only yield about 20 percent of what it used to. I am supposed to get 62 nightmares but only 20 appeared for tapping. This is so vexing.
The nightmares have stopped showing up in my Springfield except when the kids complete their 4 hr tasks to spawn them. But, in between times, they’re not there at all. Anyone else have this glitch since Act 3 went live?
Not a glitch. This is how it works in Act 3
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/11/04/treehouse-of-horrors-act-3-is-live/
I have my campfire spawning zombies to upgrade my campfire, but no zombies are spawning except when the task is finished. Anyone else having this problem? Did something change for act 3?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/11/04/treehouse-of-horrors-act-3-is-live/
Dumb question…….if I’ve crafted everything that I want to craft, is there any reason not to use up all of my brains (pun intended) crafting wailing walls? Or is there a prize coming later that requires brains?
Nope…this is it for crafting (unless EA’s hiding something)
I don’t think anything in this game requires brains, just a finger.
Pros and cons to passing out on the couch…….
Cons: my neck is freakin jacked up and I always wake up angry that I have to walk upstairs to get to bed.
Pros: got a head start on Act 3 with an hour left on their 8 hour task and five hours left on Burns’ 12 hour task.
Bonus: bout to harvest one last batch of brains toward wailing walls before the campfire is obsolete. BOOYAHHHHH!
Skeletons have stopped spawning in my town, for the last 8 hours the only ones I’ve gotten are from clearing storytelling task and making smores tasks, but even then not the full amount I should for completing those tasks. Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes. Everyone.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/11/04/treehouse-of-horrors-act-3-is-live/
What is the advantage to completing the task and stopping campfire now, than contingent with campfire to make zombies? More reward completing tasks and getting random nightmares?
If you don’t want the prizes and only want wailing walls then don’t do the questline. But if you want the prizes running through the questline is the only way you’ll get them all. The campfire won’t spawn enough over the next 2 weeks to get you enough candy apples.
When you say only freemium characters, do you mean that for those of us that didn’t purchase the costumes for Bart, Lisa, Martin, and Milhouse? Do you know about how many times we will have to send them if they are freemium? Does he have like a lifeline that they have to knock out?
Thanks for staying on top of this, you’re a lifesaver! 🙂
Yup…and I believe you’ll have to send 2 of them twice.
Yup…that was my experience. I finished Round 1: Martin, Millhouse, Lisa and Clockwork Bart which yielded 7 out of 10 “units” needed to defeat the M’nthster. So, to be safe, sent all 4 out for Round 2. See y’all in 4 hours!
proper thanksgiving part 10 won’t auto start for me.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It’s not a crucial task and you don’t get candy apples from it. But if it bothers you that much you can contact EA
My game glitched on the click M’nthster on the sunken temple part. If you just click the temple near the water it will constantly pay out 10 apples without counting towards tapping him. I finished all the prizes within a matter of minutes. I am sure this will be patched soon.
Right now, I am not enthused. I still am trying to get all the brains I can.
Seriously?! Act 3 needs to be totally changed. What was the point in upgrading? Am I the only one that feels cheated by following the spawning directions? If I had known Act 3 would be so lame, I would have spent Act 1 & 2 spawning zombies since those are the only crafts I want. Also, how will the campfire upgrade with spawning lessened?
I am being optimistic that it helps with something otherwise I will miss the zombies I should have been spawning vs doing the rotation ☺
No, you are not alone
If you’d kept up with this site during Act 2, you would have read that it wasn’t an either/or situation…for whatever reason, even if you spawned nothing but zombies during Act 2, your campfire would have continued to upgrade. That’s what lots of us did.
Moral of the story…always keep up with this site if you want to optimize your TSTO playing experience.
I am peeved that I spent so much effort and time to upgrade the campfire.
Why? First off, you got several different kinds of benefits from doing that during Acts 1 and 2. Second, no one told you you needed to do that in the first place; in fact, Alissa stated many times that it wasn’t necessary at all (although I still contend that it was beneficial, for several reasons, which I enumerated a couple of times when she said that back then). Third, I believe I read that your campfire level may still make a difference later on in Act 3, albeit a slightly different one (but I’m not sure if the person who said that was credible, since I don’t remember who said it, or the details of what they said, in among the hundreds of comments I just caught up on).
Too early to say, slow start but hopefully it will get going 🍭 🎃 🍩 🙂
