Octoberville was an amazing place to visit, with lots of really interesting details. When I first arrived, I did indeed have to wait for the world to rezz around me. I started to follow the railway line around the sim. As I was on a bit of a mission, I didn't have time to explore the haunted house, but I did find the upside down house, the train that managed to crash, and the very strange outside loos. I was rather disappointed there wasn't an amusing animation to accompany them. I joined forces with Bubbly to search for our goal, but Octoberville was so popular and SL was having an off-day, and it was just too hard to move. It was a fun place to visit though, I loved the houses most of all think.
Halloween is indeed a huge event in SL, with pumpkins at every turn, special pumpkin coloured clothing, freebies and other Halloween specials. Jezzie and I had fun decorating the castle with Halloween things, and growing giant pumpkins. These grew so much that they were actually poking out the walls. I loved the bats I found though at Animania, I think they'll be a permanent fixture.
Halloween isn't something that I bother about that much in RL, but it is such a fun festival in SL. I really enjoyed all Halloween atmosphere immensely, and it must have rubbed off when in RL. On the way home from work I met a small boy who was dressed as a pirate, he was busy giving sweets away to passers-by with his giantess of a mum. A very cute lad, and he made me appreciate the festival that day. Far too often, I've encountered teenagers whose prime motivation has been to use Halloween as an opportunity for revenue generation.
Unfortunately Octoberville is now gone and to be replaced by Christmasville. Sorry Jezz, I didn't manage to finish your quest, though I tried quite a few times. :(
