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

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

Hey PsychoDuddy, mine does the same thing, but as Bunny says, it’s a bit tricky, I missed my first 2, got the next 2, so it’s an easy does it process. I’m on an iPhone 4s, I’m gonna try putting stuff in storage and see if that helps but I’m just guessing here!

Thanks Bunny, but for now, I am going to keep pretending I have a delicate touch and my fingers are NOT big an clunky! Haha!! I did however slow my role and took some time with the next go rounds at the nuns and can proudly report success!! I would tap the nun, tap the launcher and if the nun was purple tap again on a semi hectic press/presspress action and so far as a freemie, I have Murder point and just got Hot N Muggy Coffeshop, I figured my best bet would be let the buildings and few characters not needed for holy water to concentrate on Slasherbait Pete, aiming to achieve Death in my game. One more thing, since yall lookin for some new talent, what would be the odds of doing a The Freemium Experience for the game( I don’t trust my writing skills enough to apply but you never know and if someone better took that idear wouldn’t hirt my feelings either!)

Quick question….. the 3-D glasses….. where do I find how many I have? Usually in the events the characters can be sent on task to help earn event currency. Is this not what’s going on this year? I was also looking at murder point, I think it’s weird that Tinyco put only 1 way to collect something. Especially when you have to collect popcorn first to get it. Then murder point takes 4 hours and a chance at 2 of them. That would take at least 7 times for 4 hours each.
I am so looking forward to this event. I love Holloween and I love horror films!!!!!! I can’t wait to see how the game progresses!!!

I get that you are having issues with internet connection atm.
Here is my issue.
I am one of the people who turned in 5 reels to get “Muder point” and the screen narrowed like it was going to give me the item then nothing,, the “Murder point” is checked off but no building ,, so I am up ” Up a particular type of creek without a paddle”
I get that many others have reported the same thing, so I send in a report to Tinyco explaining in very great detail the very problem I am experiencing.
I listed my device,, I listed exactly what I did step by step,,inch by inch in very good detail so that they would know exactly what the issue is,, and what I did to try and fix it on my own.
Tinyco asks people to give as much detail as they can so that they can better help us with the issues we are having.
Very surprising to me, I got in response from them in less then 1 hr.
Here is there response. (word for word)
“A number of players may encounter issues when tapping on the movie screen. Please force close the game in order to fix this.”
This has absolutely nothing to do with my issue, the issue I am having has nothing to do with the movie screen.
I was very happy to get such a quick response from Tinyco, but the fact that they did not even seem to read my post and just issued a standard automated response really does me no good at all,, do they actually have people that read peoples posts? or do they have an automated system that just scans for the words “Having an issue” and those words just trigger an automated message response?
this isn’t a WTD post,, I am actually asking if you know,,or don’t know how Tinyco responds to players asking for help.
You and Alissa seem to be able to get your questions answered very quickly and accurately, did I just get a random automated response,, or did I just get an employee that didn’t bother to read my post?
very frustrating when you go out of your way to explain things very clearly and with great detail to make the Tinyco peoples job easier,, and then they just give you an answer completely unrelated to your problem.

I don’t really like the sounds of this, I know it is way too early in for a proper judgement, I just don’t really like the concept of this event. I am sure it will grow on me as most events do. I think I’m just a little disappointed as last year the event looked great. Lots of the items and characters looked fantastic and I love Ghostbusters. Horror movies aren’t appealing to me. I was quite sad as I joined just as it was ending. I can’t get on this weekend, I don’t want to be too far behind, but I don’t think I’ll be too upset at missing things. That being said, I would like Death as he would be a good character to have. As always, thanks for all of the work and clams put into the guide! I’m sure it will be very helpful!

I just wanted to say that tinyco should let us reuse the old HallOwen characters from last year just to reward the loyal fan that’s been with them that long. Those characters aren’t cheap either and to have them not helping this hallOwen makes me think twice if I should get any for this year because after the event is over its TOTALLY useless. Last year I bought them with the thought that maybe it will help me for this year. I’m not expecting a lot but maybe have them at least help with collecting an item for one character or skin, its not a huge advantage or anything over the newcomers. Come on tinyco, step it up.

I am having the same issue. My town is somewhat pretty full but not completely full. I’ll clear out some more space (already did the 20 objects quest) and see if that helps.
It crashes every time for me so far since the start of the event. I did report it to TC the other day, before the clear 20 objects quest came out… maybe that was the fix lol…
I’ll report back once it stops with how much I had to clear out. I’m at a million plus coins so I can probably get rid of some of my coin building blocks.
LikeLike
I ended up having to clear out about 50% of the town to get it to stop crashing when killing the nuns (50% of usuable lamd space open). It sometimes still crashes with the crossbow, usually if it gets placed on top of a building and I try and move it off, it will crash.
If I place the cross bow on an open green space there are no issues or crashing.

Not sure if this has been answered. But I have not had a chance to read all the comments. I see that you need 100 film reels to get slasher cat. But does that mean that I need all the reels to collect all the items before slasher cat in the concession stand? There are about 6 items I need before slasher cat is available from what I can see. Or are the 100 reels the total you need for all the rewards leading up to slasher cat? Does this question make sense?

I would have been able to try it, if it wasn’t for the extremely horrible controls. As it is, I am lucky to get 1 at a time.
Don’t get me wrong. I like FGTQFS. I do remember way back in the day though, when they used to judge video games on a number of things. One of these was control. This was back in the NES area. The thought was, how much is the game difficult because it asks a lot of you as a player and how much is th game difficult because the game isn’t doing what you are asking it to.
I think as far as the shooting nuns part, this game is much worse than any 8-bit NES game or any other game I have ever played in my entire life. I think it goes way beyond a fail.
Still, I like it this game and I especially like the addicts!

When my phone was broken for months, so probably around May/June, maybe earlier when I did what I’m about to say, I used Bluestacks (an Android emulator you can download). Not sure if Family Guy was on Facebook back then, if so, didn’t learn until today, but though Bluestacks runs the app slower than Facebook did, if Facebook messes up a lot/doesn’t work, Bluestacks is always something you can fallback on. It may have extreme lag, but if push comes to shove, it’ll get the job done on your laptop.

Exchange popcorn for movie reels
Exchange movie reels for prize buildings
Buildings drop items for Peter and Death
In fact one of the collection items for each can ONLY be got from a building!
My tactics for this one so far: I usually start events by trying to get the new chars/skins first as they usually help out for other things, but in this case a quick calculation shows I should be collecting balloons from all possible chars all the time
In fact it appears to be impossible for a pure freemium player to “finish” this phase in the first week:
Total movie reels required: 216, but you can only exchange in multiple of 5, so 220
Popcorn required (assuming 30 popcorn->5 movie reels: 1320
Unholy nuns to defeat (at 10 popcorn per nun): 132
Number of launchers: 132
Number of balloons: 132
We have 4 freemium tasks for balloons: 33 per char
The task is 5 hours, so you can get in 4 per day: 8.25 days
As I say, this assumes 30 popcorn->5 movie reels. Once you hit level 3 things get worse.
I think Death is going to be a long haul struggle for freemium. You need 8 Extra rare, so we really need the Slasher cat to help out, but you won’t get him until next week. You also won’t be _starting_ to collect Brimstones from the Pumpkin tower until next week either, since you won’t want to place the pumpkin tower until you have enough movie reels for slasher cat
Having said all that, I’m liking it so far, and looking forward to see how it pans out.
Of course, mega thanks to Bunny, without which the above tactical planning would not be possible!

I would not overthink it too much… if you look it will NOT just be Popcorn to exchange. More options will unlock along the way. Also… it is a month long event… no need to unlock it all in first week. 😉

Thanks for working out the math on this! Last night I was just feeling boggled thinking about needing a gazillion popcorn bags with so few ways to get them, and your breakdown helps me set expectations and not get so frustrated.

Not sure yet how to use the launcher. For me it does not appear to be functional. There is no fire button? And it doesn’t appear purple. Maybe I’m just not understanding it yet.
Also can we get more than one poppy building?
Ps any good deals going on amazon like you’ve posted in the past?

See part on Unholy Nuns in the post. You can buy as many Poppy’s as you want as far as I know. 😉

When you tap a nun the launcher window opens, THEN you tap the where it shows you how many movie props you have in the lower left. That pulls up the target circle to place.

Nothing whatsoever to do with this game nor this post. It is the money exchange and it is done by Apple/iOS. It’s due to the comparison of US dollar to currency in your area. Those are all standards set and handled by the governments and the App Markets providing services outside the US to you.

Is slasher cat from a movie or from a random family guy episode? I’ve never heard of that character nor “Hookhand Albert.” Are they both just made up game characters similar to King Butt? Also who is the second “absolute killer,” I cannot recognize the outline but it looks like he’s wearing a pope hat. But that can’t be right…

It is a Pope. 😉
And the others I will start pulling later.

The slasher cat kinda looks like a fully animalized version of Gary the No Trash Cougar from the episode Blind Ambition…

Thank you, I was wondering if it was possible. I hate that they started appearing before I could even get a balloon let alone a launcher. I still had my maze but all I could do was watch them escape.

Am I missing something here or is my only choice to spend 250 in clams to buy the popcorn building? To get Slasher Peter you need Funny Cigarettes which you can ONLY get from Murder Point which requires 4 film reels meaning you have to get 30 popcorn buckets which you can only get by using Slasher Peter to save Lois or by using balloons on Nuns (which have yet to appear) and you have to have the launcher to use the balloons which requires popcorn to get.

Just keep playing until you start to see the Nuns wander. They do NOT need popcorn, they need Balloons.
