DEATH AT THE DRIVE-IN PHASE 4 IS HERE!!!
EVENT ENDS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 5TH @3PM PACIFIC
- First up, you will have to be on Part 9 of Death at the Drive-in III
- You will need to be at Scream Level 11 or Higher
- Play the New Event Phase Questline to access ALL Content. With every new Event Phase there are “unlock points” for many items, so play through the Main Questline in order to see it all. I will Update Unlock points. if any, as I find them.
WARNING: There is another 24hr Timed Item in the Movie Projection Booth. This time it will be Rainbow Barf Creature. Same kind of trigger point that the items BEFORE it once created will make it so the timer will start on the next tap in Booth.
Also, DO NOT REPAIR STOLEN BROWN CAR!! Not just yet anyway. It triggers Ruth‘s 7 Day Timer. So be prepared before jumping in.
Back with more in a bit…
Again. ..I’m on site so will update as I can. Hang in there with me.
FYI… random Bats spawning reported. I had about 6. UPDATE… as intended. It helped avoid an alternative issue. So this was a “patch” in a way 😉
Lois will start us off …

I will keep editing this post as I can. It just hit at a VERY bad time. No worries. I will have it all for you by this afternoon. 🙂
What do you think of it so far? Any particular item that you were hoping to get in your game? Moving along a lil quicker? Let us know?

Hi All. I am having some problems with Patrick in quahog asylum. I’ve already unlocked him, but then some glitch won’t let me take him out of the stored inventory? I keep clicking him but it won’t let him appear in my game. I’m already up to unlocking Meg Roach, but I can’t advance past ‘Bring the movies to life pt 22’ without Patrick. I’ve emailed Tiny co but haven’t heard back. Anyone else have this issue?

The Event ends on the 12th. But for a timed Character like Ruth, you only have 7 Days no matter what to get her once the car is repaired. If you are not successful she will be gone for good

Hello,
I apologize for asking what I consider to be a silly question, but I would like your opinion. I am screen level 11 1/2, I only have up to the shopping district open it, I have not yet purchased the black clam, I have 180 reels saved, And I have purchased one each of the concession generating decorations (mr salty etc..), and all of the premium characters except Satan. I play 24/7.. And I would really like that Peterguist skin. So the question is this; in your expert opinion, do you think I have a chance of finishing with all of the characters , or do I need to forgo the skin? Thank you very much for your time.

No questions are silly, just my sense of humor 😉 😛

You can store it and put it back, but unless it’s tagged as an always drop… you’re just going to have to wait til it drops at the rate it’s tagged. In the meantime let TinyCo know how long it’s taking.

Finally getting caught up to this phase just now. Had to wait a bit grinding scream level since I was avoiding collecting them earlier. On the bright side I have built up 250 popcorn, 140 candy bars, and about 140 sodas. Sadly the second I went to the new phase, the ONLY turn in option is for liquorice now. What a pain in the ***

im sort of disappointed with this phase. I worked really hard to keep up with this event. Started phase 4 on time. Spent a bunch of clams. Now I don’t think I’ll even get to phase 5 before the event ends. They made the conversion rates better for reels, but made way less ways to get the materials to convert. I have had no werewolves all day and cleared my last unholy nun and headless horseman an hour ago. 1 clown is the only monster in my game and the next thing out of the screen will be 4 swirling ghosts in 3 hours. Is that normal for this phase? I still need well over 200 reels. Minimal ways to get them & can’t start the timer on Ruth’s car to move on in the Quest line. I’ve just totally stalled out in this phase . 😔
LikeLike
Don’t focus on being done the moment new stuff hits. I feel this is why the extra week dropped too. Many feel behind. Just go at a pace that works for you. Werewolves slowed down but still appear 1 about every 6 to 8 hours. Enough time to make needed Prop item. Clowns will help as licorice is a good boost to Reels. Let concessions build up and open as many trade options as possible… then spend on best option.
The Movie Screen Horrors vary on your game. That time is normal.

Hello Bunny, I hope you and your mom are doing well. Thank you for all of your work, you do so much. Because of that i hope that i didnt missed this in your posts so you have to answer this again. I purchased ghostface but i dont have a mission for barrels. I thought at first where i wasnt on phase 4 where the barrels are in, that could be the reason but became confused when i received barrels for the clam offer of buying 9.99 or more and you get movie props. So do you know if i should have the mission or not until im in 4?

Clown don’t trigger til Phase 4 is triggered. So Barrels won’t “exist” til then in Character tasks. Once triggered, you’ll see the Characters drops show up.
They’re all 2hr tasks. Including his. No level up in him required

I agree with the others harder to get reels in phase 4 so much more needed like 40 candies that will take forever and licorice needed with most options but once u work thru the harder ones so easier ones appear. Also not liking the fact u need everything but the timed item in the projection booth to open Ruth( well if u wish to have a chance of getting her ) to progress to the next mission makes it kinda hard . Still working on Ester but my Sand dollar rarely kicks out the Fan needed very low ratio on drops. But just got patrick and working to unlock him but again u need most the stuff from the booth plus Ester to help get him, your normal free characters dont help . I love this game n play for free with a few purchased characters had to have Micheal Myers but this phase doesnt seem very enjoyable hopefully phase 5 will end with tons of fun and alittle easier. Thanks bunny for all your info during events I’m a regular on your page and wouldn’t do half as well as I do nor my husband cause he plays also n I relay all info to him so your greatly appreciated!!!

Nice! This phase seems to be so much better in terms of nearly everything. The exchange options for soda / popcorn is much better and I have been able to use up most of my stockpile. The werewolves also seem to no longer be constantly spawning (meaning I don’t have to always keep changing characters such as Quagmire back every single time I look). I am liking this event so much more now. It seems like TinyCo really listened to us! I hope it stays this way.

I’m having the same trouble, Eric. I keep seeing people talking about how much easier this phase is for them, but its the opposite for me. I’m collecting reels at an alarmingly low rate. It’s never been easy, but I’ve managed. Until this phase. I barely have any werewolves to get sodas and the only other options are like 40 chocolates AND 35 sodas for 20 reels.. It takes FOREVER to to craft that many pumpkin/water balloon launchers just to get 20 reels (Aside from the 7 licorice for 5 reels) So it takes like 16 hours just to craft the stuff to get 20 reels! The conversion rates aren’t as good for me as I’ve seen some others… I’m just hoping it will get better. Really wish they hadn’t gone from one extreme to the other with the werewolves though because my soda conversion rates aren’t too bad, but I never have enough wolves to get the sodas so… I’m really struggling with this phase.

What Phase are you in? That will make a difference. Phase 3 got better, then Phase 4. But that means your questline needs to match the Phase too in order to actually be IN that Phase. It is more than just updating the Movie Screen.

Some of the conversions that I have now are: 15 chocolates for 5 reels, or 45 popcorns and 27 sodas for 10, or 30 sodas for 10. And to top it off, my garlic bombs aren’t being added to my total every time. I’m just like, meh, it’s just a game, not gonna give myself a coronary over it!

A bit annoying that you have to trigger Ruth’s timer to get past part 3 of the main story. And that you need the mystery mansion and roach meg to be able to start collecting one of the items. So basically cannot even move the story along until a few hundred reels have been collected without making ruth difficult. Would be fine if I had a big stock of cannonballs etc!

Well, I’m now earning a LOT of Movie Reels, and have got 998 at the moment, so I’ve got more than enough to get all the main prizes this week already! I’m not going to bother with the 600 Reel prize, even though I know I’ll definitely be able to get more than enough, but as it’s just an animated decoration and not a character, I’m going to pass. Another reason I’m passing is because with next week being the final phase, and 3 more characters to come, I have a feeling that the ‘big reel’ will be one of the characters, either Deaths Mom or Hook Hand Albert, I could be wrong, but I’m going to stick up as many Reels as I can until Wednesday, then bank as many Materials as I can for trading in on Phase 5.

I’ve reached a point where the conversion rate has stuck, and haven’t changed since Saturday, I have the options of;
60 Chocolate for 30 Reels
75 Soda for 30 Reels
105 a Popcorn for 15 Reels
7 Licorice for 5 Reels
I have 2 Melted Choc, 2 Poppy the Salted, 2 Mr High Fructose, and 2 Red Whips, and I cycle through each Prop, I clear 6 Unholy Nuns, then 6 Werewolfs, 3 Headless Horseman, then 3 Clowns. So I end up earning a lot of each materials a day, then trade them in, using this method I now have all of Phase 4 prizes, apart from the Rainbow Barf Creature, and have 888 Reels banked. So I’ve found that Phase 4 has given me the best conversion options so far, hope your having better luck as you progress.
