Trick-or-Treating[]
The spooky candy bowl only offers its sweets to players in costume
Throw on your best costume and go trick-or-treating in your neighborhood! Players may build the spooky candy bowl (available for free in the 
Atomic Shop[2]) at their C.A.M.P.s and fill it with mystery candy, a special Halloween candy corn. The candy bowl will only dispense to players wearing costumes, once per trick-or-treater, per hour, per bowl. C.A.M.P.s with placed spooky candy bowls will be marked with the candy bowl icon, regardless of whether or not the bowl contains mystery candy.

In addition to being dropped by Spooky Scorched, mystery candy may also be purchased from various vendors around Appalachia. It is best to stock up, because both daily and weekly challenges involving trick-or-treating will be running during the event.
Daring to eat a mystery candy will apply one of 5 effects at random:
| Name | Effect |
|---|---|
| Lucky Break | +1 LCK for 10 minutes |
| Mystery Treat Surprise | You're blacking out! |
| Sugar Rush | +2 AGI for 10 minutes -1 INT for 10 minutes |
| Sugar Strength | +1 STR for 10 minutes |
| Sugar Vision | +1 PER for 10 minutes |

Behind the scenes[]
Spooky Scorched were first revealed on August 19, 2021 in the Making Appalachia Your Own with Fallout Worlds developer dive video.[3]
Bugs[]
Many of these bugs require reverification for the 2023 version of the event.[verification overdue]
Spooky Scorched are not using outfits dedicated to be worn by Scorched. As a result, their hands look human.[verified]- Standard Scorched enemies may rarely spawn as Legendary enemies during the Spooky Scorched event. Although they may or may not be assigned the "Legendary" nameplate prefix, they will always have the ★ icon and drop Legendary items.[verified]
- The 60 minute cooldown for taking candy from a specific spooky candy bowl is dispelled upon leaving the server.[verified]
- Scrapping the spooky candy bowl will dispel the 60 minute timer for any applicable players on the server.[verified]
- The popcorn machine initially could not be crafted after unlocking it by completing the 2021 event challenge. This was later patched.[patched]
