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 the Cursed Forest and Beatrice to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this horror flick combo to your town…

Final Thought
Premium:
Not a bad pickup for the event. Her outdoor tasks are pretty funny and she’s helpful for the event itself. I’d recommend this to a premium player.
Freemium:
If you’re looking for a helpful character for the event, this is a good pickup. Good bonus %, ok price (less than some others) and a fun character in general. Good pickup if you’re looking for a character from the THOH event.
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 likely be picking this one up. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Here’s a look at her tasks…
