Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Halloween is back in Springfield! Yes, the water is murky, the screen is slightly darker, monsters and minions are roaming our towns…is there anything better than Halloween in our pocket-sized towns? Of course, by now, we all know that a new event means a new excuse for EA to fill our stores with limited-time premium items to tempt us.
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add Monster’s Castle and Frankenstein’s Monster and Julienstein to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Stein trio to your town…

Final Thought
Premium or Freemium:
I like this combo regardless of player status. It’s two characters and a building for a decent price point. I think this is worth the pickup
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I’ll be picking this up before the event ends. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
