You will find this over in the Event area in the far Right Center of your game. It will be on the Left side of the Movie Screen. Hookhand Albert will be sitting outside of the Shack with a ! over it. Essentially this is the place where you can go to create Movie Props to use around the game. Similar to past Events, there will be a Queue as well as a Capacity.

Slasher Cat requires 100
Movie Reels, so make sure you have a LOT stored up before reaching this point. You will want to be ready to get him. Once he times out, you will not have another Chance to pull him into your game. He has a 4hr task, Play with Toy Mouse, that will help drop Scythe’s. Part of Absolute Killers Clam Group. Reward of 20 Clams for completing the Group of 4 so far.
You do have til the end of the Event to get Slasher Cat, so take your time with the Pumpkin Tower and do not craft it til you are ready or if you do… don’t tap on the Movie Projection Booth.
UNHOLY NUNS
They will not appear in the game until you reach Death at the Drive-In Part 2. These are the NPC’s you will need to clear during this part of the Event. In order to clear them, you will need Holy Water Balloons.
UnHoly Nun: Requires 1 Holy Water Balloon to create a Launcher at the Movie Prop Shack. Put the Launcher in front of the Unholy Nun to clear them. You will know they are in the path of the Launcher by their appearance turning Purple in color.
Each Nun Hit dropped 10
Popcorns
Holy Water Balloons (ALWAYS): Peter Desecrate Graves OR Mort Lose Cell Phone Signal OR Chris Check Out the Basement OR Bonnie Wear Inappropriate Shoes OR Crazy Joe’s Car Wash
Holy Water Balloon Launcher: This will be located at the Movie Prop Shack. Tap on the Shack to open it up and see what you need. You will need 1 Holy Water Balloon to get a Launcher to take out an Unholy Nun.
Basically once you get a Launcher, you tap on an Unholy Nun. The screen will tell you how many you have of the Launchers, tap on it and it will take you to the screen.
You will see a “Circle” and the Launcher. Just drag the Launcher and move it around just like a Building or Decoration until you have it right in front of the path of an Unholy Nun… then wait til they enter the Circle… (they turn Purple when in Circle) and tap the Check to place it and fire away.
If you are not ready yet, tap the X and go back out of the screen.
The Unholy Nuns go all over the place, so you will have to look for them.
SLASHER CAT & LOIS
This will start appearing after Death at the Drive-In Part 1. It will randomly show up and start attacking Lois. While she is being attacked, she will not be able to be used. In other words you will not be able to assign her tasks or clear her check marks will she is being attacked. You will need to get Slasher Bait Peter to clear them off of her.
Requires Slasher Cat to be Chasing Lois & Slash Bait Peter to be free. Just tap on Lois & Slasher Cat, then tap “GO” to get Slasher Bait Peter to come clear Slasher Cat from Lois. Payout of up to 15
Popcorns

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but I’m unable to drag my water balloon launcher around when I’m attempting to aim at a nun. It flat out doesn’t move and eventually gets stuck in the bottom right corner of my screen to the point where I can’t press the check mark to “fire”. I have to quick tap the nun and then immediately press the check mark and hope the nun doesn’t run out of the edge of the circle. I’ve hard closed the game but no luck so it’s being submitted through the in game support.

Seems that you may have to touch it just right to be able to drag it around. This may sound obvious but you have to tap and drag it by the launcher itself and not the green circle on the ground that marks its hit zone. Carry on.

Three questions I proposed to TinyCo so far about the event:
1) As this is a horror movie “slasher” subgenre related event, will Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees have any actions to improve gameplay this event? I spend money on characters that should have more value added to them. Michael Myers and Chucky are ranked well among “slasher” film franchises; however, Freddy and Jason top the list not only in popularity but box office grossings as well. Having a “slasher” film event without them seems almost a cardinal sin as they’ve already made appearance last Halloween. Is this being addressed?
2) Why is mandatory participation in the event being introduced into the game? I had Lois working on getting Paddy last night only to find this morning I couldn’t collect on her as she’s been hijacked by plot. As for new players, they too will experience mandatory participation as Lois being hijacked will prevent moving forward in several questlines.What’s being done to address this? Are events going to be mandatory from here on in?
3) Seemingly event currency is 3D glasses as there are decos and other event related items that depend on their generation. How do I find out how many I have available? I can’t seem to find a gauge or meter anywhere.
If anyone has answers to these questions or has otherwise heard from TinyCo could you let us all know? Thanks.
LikeLike
1. The Event just started. Patience. They’re not going to tell you ALL that will happen the moment it is released. 😉
2. It runs for an entire month, I think that is unavoidable by any player to just do away with an Event regardless. Any items going on will interfere. Whether it is other drops, etc. There will always be an alternate need for main Characters each and every Event as they are the first ones earned so main ones used.
3. 3D are not main currency. Movie Reels are. You can tap on the items in your Decorations Menu to see counts. Otherwise, as it is a side item… no real “collect” point.
LikeLike
You’re right, I may have jumped the shark on the first point. I do question the alternate use of the character point though on two points. Allow me to explain:
1) Some holidays are not for everyone. As much as it may be my favorite holiday for many many reasons, other’s may want to give it a miss altogether. For instance, in France, Halloween is merely an “American Holiday” and isn’t really celebrated at all save for International visitors, their hipster sub-culture that cater to them, and the stores that monetize them. Additionally, there are some that simply cannot due to religious practice, such as those of Islamic faith as it is considered a time period of idolatry worship. While true that in both cases, they do not make up a significant populous of Family Guy viewers and fewer still as players, they still make up a populous that should not be overlooked. This information and point was courtesy of an employee who loves Family Guy, is French, and does play the game.
2) Removing a character from a task that the player had placed on that task is bad for the player. Doesn’t matter why, the end result is that you’re dictating gameplay that contradicts the strategy of the player. Couple that with the removal of the availability of the character and new players suddenly find the game much harder. In the case of this event, Lois is instrumental toward getting other characters that are instrumental in this event such as Joe, Brian, and Stewie (all of which have event related actions, at present Joe is used in getting items for Peter’s skin). Additionally, Lois is a necessity to move forward on questlines to get all three of those characters. In short, though not impossible for new players, IT IS significantly harder on them. This also delays the time it would take to complete missions to get additional characters that may assist or be needed later in the event. This in turn would oblige the player to either participate or to place the game on hiatus until the event is completed.
That being said it’s not the first time a paradoxical situation has occurred within the game. Like in the Comic-Con event where Stewie was available and necessary for tasks while Mutant Stewie raged on. Any time this happens we all know what Stewie tampers with genetically and time travel wise and don’t seem to mind any continuity issues. I just asked the question because it is something I was wondering about as it has affected myself and those around me. Hope that clarifies it a bit. Clear as mud?
LikeLike
I get it. Not really something you have to tell me.
My point is no matter what you do, where you are, a District will ALWAYS be trumped by an Event. Always. Not the first time nor last time.
And why can’t they have players actually play their game? It’s the point they spend the time and money to create it right?
Districts are permanent. They’re always there. Can go back to it anytime.
Regardless… this is discussion for THEM. It does not apply to this helpful post. 😉

If I’m understanding this correctly (big “if”), there’s no point in taking Lois out of storage until I have Slasher Peter, since her only contribution is when he saves her from Slash Cat’s attack. Which makes it really disappointing for that to be one of the few ways to get popcorn buckets, and you need like a billion popcorns to turn into film reels to get the stuff to get the other stuff needed to unlock Slasher Peter. So…even with spending clams on the popcorn thingy, it’ll be some time before I’ll get to enjoy Slash Cat attacks. And you know how I like those feline features! Sure, it’s probably not enjoyable for Lois, but that’s her fault for not contributing any item drops.

How does TinyCo expect us to place more buildings and decorations without giving us additional room? I need at least 20 or so more spaces to place all the stuff neatly.

Just like in life, just because you have a TON of items does not mean you have to place every single possession out for view. It is called The Quest For Stuff for a reason. You will continue to get LOTS of stuff. Store some away. 😉

We shouldn’t have to store stuff that we’ve earned. The Simpson’s manages to provide enough room so why can’t Family Guy??
The space issue is a problem to every single person I know who plays. It means that things we’ve bought with real money or lots of our time are uselessly sitting in the inventory and it puts you right off buying more items.
For what this game costs to play I know for a fact that TinyCo can afford to provide appropriate space. The fact that they don’t doesn’t mean they can’t – it just means they won’t.

You are actually incorrect. As I write for the Simpsons and have been playing that one since launch too… I can very much guarantee they have limits and issues if you do not store items. 4500 warning & 7500 max. They also have been out 3+ years vs Family Guy 1+ years. There are MANY glitches and issues on TSTO due to memory and space issues. We run into them ALL THE TIME. 😉
Instead of assuming you know how a company functions, take a step back and REALLY look at the game. Not just this one either. ALL App Games. You are playing on devices that for the most part were made to be mobile. Take pics. Even take phone calls. They are NOT in home gaming systems nor PC’s so you will have many many many limits. Those are the items you will have to deal with and sacrifice when it comes to using a Mobile Device to play a game. Cost has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it. It is the way many devices on the market handle the game and whether it can allow Players to play and enjoy the game with functionality.
Thanks anyway. 😉

I played TSTO for a bit over a year until it’d worn off on me. And I can attest to a few things. One, like Bunny said, TSTO’s been out longer and so has more space ATM than FG.
Also, maybe they’ve made advances since I quit, but I recall the Simpsons animations being WAY less detailed overall and fewer per character than FG. I mean, how many skins does Peter have and each one has at least a couple visual ones?
Then you have all the animated buildings and decos. TSTO was honestly a good bit more dull IMO overall in finish and detail. That saves memory and processing by a TON.
I enjoy FG more even if my family doesn’t get it 🙂
BTW,, Bunny, and Momma-to-be, I think the new banner is KILLLLLER!!!

I totally agree with you an the space issue as I’m sure many more would also. I have played this game since the start and as the game progresses so does my annoyance with the tiny bit of room that I have, so keep rearranging so that my O.C.D doesn’t take over. Yet saying that, my Simpsons town is so big that I don’t really enjoy playing it that much anymore, it’s more of a chore now.
Overall though I enjoy the quest for stuff and play it more than once daily. Some of the events are beyond unrealistic to complete without clams or sleep deprivation though. And the fact they do not utilise the characters properly.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! That is why every single one of us is totally unique.

This issue is raised at most of those FAQ sessions they do. I don’t think I’ve ever read a reply other than, we’re looking into it/working on it/testing some things. I’m hoping they do a separate map, like they did for the Enterprise in the Star Trek event. Or something… soon. For those that are city builders rather than collectors, tearing down and rebuilding is fun only to a point. Then I’d like to enjoy what I built and add to it. I don’t know if TinyCo has ever officially said the solution is to, “store it,” but if so, that would be good to know so I can stop hoping. 🙂

It is The Quest For Stuff… and more and more stuff you will keep on getting. So there will be a point you have no option but to store for the sake of your device and limited space. More space will just add more items to the game and possibly create more crashing and lagging as it is the rendering of those thousands of items by your devices that put the strain on them.

I just place everything in storage (buildings, decorations and characters) except for what us being used in an event. It may make my town less fun, but it is way easier to play the events. I do not need any more money so I have found it helps with lag and the ability to complete quests.

Store everything that doesn’t give you coins or ep. Or choose your buildings wisely.

I’ve only been playing since late Star Trek and haven’t even unlocked Mayor West and like randomness so everything gets squashed together wherever it fits – and even I have run out of room… I finally took Bunny’s as-usual excellent advice and just stored a bunch of stuff. I just chose buildings I didn’t like much or could do without for a while. I’m a Quahog millionaire thanks to all the events that use special currency, so don’t need the coins. Now I have a big clearing where I can put anything for this event. If they’re ugly, they will go right into storage to keep room for the next event. It’s hard to take that first step if you’re used to saving everything in real life like me, but they’re not gone forever. Free storage! That’s a big improvement over real life- at one time, my brother was paying $300 per month to store his useless boxes of useless stuff. You can always take the game stuff out again anytime you miss them, don’t even need a car to get to the storage facility.
