Phantasmoire creeps closer to an end... but that doesn't mean the spirit is going anywhere! The bubbly Phantasmoire Sharshel has a fresh new glamour, and an array of new spells to go with it.



Your Pet can pick up these spells (and fashion!) with the Phantasmoire Sharshel Morphing Potion, available at the Snow Jar Igloo or from ghosts until October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. (We're not sure if it was the ghosts or Gabrielle who gave the Snow Jar a new look, but we think they did a great job!)

From now until the end of November, it will also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts).



Not only that, the Phantasmoire Sharshel Profile Skin has also received a revamp for those looking to show off their own witchy ways! (It even comes with tiny pumpkins.)



Fear not Phantasmoire fans -- the Sharshel brought some friends! Introducing the newly discovered Skeletal Lugra and Skeletal Makoat, these two Pets are sure to around through thick and thin. They just have that kind of spirit.



You can obtain one -- or four, or even more -- of your very own with the new Skeletal Lugra Morphing Potion and Skeletal Makoat Morphing Potion, available at the Snow Jar Igloo year-round.

From now until the end of November, they will also be available in the I.C.E Shop for 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts).



The votes have been cast, and we have our winners of the Phantasmoire Scary Songs Contest!

In Third place we have @MarkiArts, with their entry "Heartaches":

Dark nights, stark frights
My loving you brings only heart flights
Free treats were such a fleeting thing to me
Advantage taken, now the yearning part of me

Dark nights, heart flights
Now older I bring many stark frights
Every door knock brings someone new
But, my heart aches for you

Stark frights, heart flights
New generations facing dark nights

I come to task bringing a part of me
My younger self is just a burning memory

Heartaches, heartaches
My giving part brings needing heart breaks
The bringing joy gives heart renew
Time marches forward needing spreading love of you

In Second place we have @Cibola, with their entry "Phantasmoire - in song":

We are out to get some, running door to door tonight
Getting all the candy, Gotta fill those bags up tonight!
There is a goal, and if we dont meet it we can't go home
You try to dream up ways to get more as we scream in delight

Because this is Phantasmoire! Phantasmoire Night!
The only month we can go door to door and fill up our bags.
We have to eat them, and fill our bellies because once we do, its gonna give us an avatar! Once a year!
Because this is Phantasmoire! Phantasmoire Night!

In First place, we have a tie!

Congratulations to @Voermina, with their entry "Phantasmoire Xephyr Boogey-Tunes":

In the darkened shadowlight
Something creaks upstairs at night
Oh my, you might get a fright
When you see his head a-rollin'

Ghastly grin and glowing eyes
You see it as the candle dies
Must be a trick, some sort of guise
But you see his head a-rollin'

Over your floor, under your bed
Everywhere you look you see his head
Orange pumpkin goo and shred
Trailing from his head a-rollin'

Now you might think he's an evil one
That he's out for blood and you'd better run
But he just wants some Phantasmoire fun
So he keeps his head a-rollin'

Oh, come play with him and have some fun
And keep your heads a-rollin'

And congratulations to @Tinkerbell, with their entry "Decisions":

The clock strikes midnight
Sounds of creaking surround you
Unsure of where to go
Climb the stairs
Or run through the door
That bookcase looks ominous
Better take a right here

This house is haunted
Lost in a maze
Is the prize worth it
Or will you run away in fright

This house is haunted
Your lantern barely touches the shadows
Trying to find the end
Only to discover you're now
One of them doing the haunting

1st Place Prizes

Were you able to upgrade your Haunting Trophy this year? A total of 30 new Trophies were added, to account for both the 2022 and 2023 Phantasmoire season. These Trophies are cumulative, so don't worry if you didn't reach the one you want yet -- you will start next year from your current one!

Have you gotten your fill of scary celebrations for the year? If not, don't fret -- there's still a few days left! All Phantasmoire activities will be wrapping up on October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so be sure to get all of your Haunting and Grave Digging done before then.



To send off the holiday, the Haunted House will have a one-hour cooldown from October 30th to October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. That means you can journey through this spine-chilling mansion more than ever -- but this opportunity will only last for those two days, so take advantage of it while you can!

Grab your scarves and make some hot cocoa, because this weekend is gonna be chilly! From today until Sunday, October 29th at 23:59:59 IcePets Time, the Snowman Quest will be doubled! That means you'll get twice as many questing opportunities and twice as many prizes. If you're new to this quest (or just need a little help preparing), consider picking up a Snowman Quest Request List before you start.

Not having the best of luck this grave digging season? The shopkeepers of Terrafrost have you covered! The Sharp Present is stocking even more frequently in all NPC Shops (except for the Snow Jar Igloo and Port Rakor).



Speaking of Grave Digger -- clean off your shovels and grab some fresh gloves, because a new game is now available every 15 minutes!

The Haunted House now has a shortened cooldown time for the Phantasmoire season! This means you can venture into this spine-chilling mansion every two hours rather than the usual six. This opportunity will last until October 30th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so be sure to take a tour before then. If you're lucky, you just might come across some neat rewards...



Submissions for the Phantasmoire Song Contest have closed, which means it's time to start voting! Head over to the contest page to vote for the song that sends shivers down your spine. You can only vote once, so choose wisely! Voting will last until October 30th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, which gives you plenty of time to think your choice over.

Time to throw some confetti and put on your celebratory hats, because today, IcePets is now 14 years old! We've come pretty far since the site was born in 2009, and we're incredibly grateful for those who've stuck around all these years. And if you're a newcomer, we hope you'll hang around for the wonderful IcePets future to come!



Do you have any special IcePets memories you'd like to share? Perhaps you had a hilarious conversation in the IcePets Forums, or an exciting experience hunting for a rare Item. No matter what it is, we'd like to hear about it in the comments below!



Everyone who shares their favorite memory will receive a Slice of Birthday Cake and the new 2023 Anniversary Cobron Figurine. Be sure to post your memories before October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. We'll be giving out the rewards shortly after that time.



By the way, have you stopped by the Staff Page recently? Head on over by the end of today if you'd like to receive a Staff Goodie Bag!



The Scarab Amulet has returned to the I.C.E Shop. Additionally, the Khanusaa, a Companion often found with this amulet, now comes in two additional colours -- brown and white! So if you were unsure whether to pick up one of these amulets, here's a sign to go ahead and buy one. The Amulet will cost you 1000 IceCash (900 for Gold Accounts.) It'll be in stock until October 23rd, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.

How long has it been since you've changed your Avatar? If you're looking to freshen things up, consider heading to the I.C.E Shop and picking up the new Flickering Jack-o-Lantern I.C.E Avatar! It'll cost you 500 IceCash (450 for Gold Accounts.) This new Avatar will add some festive flair and a pinch of pumpkin spice to your profile!





And if you're a fan of the new avatar, you'll like this new line of Phantasmoire-themed goodies as well! The Lugra-o-Lantern, Cobron-o-Lantern, Dabu-o-Lantern, and Traptur-o-Lantern are now all available at the Glacial Grocer. They'll also be rewarded by the Candy Quest! Be sure to pick up a few extras, because the Space Quest will add them to their list next week.

As you peruse the shops of Terrafrost, you may come across something truly ghastly. Don't be alarmed, however; that's none other than the new Sharp Present! This ominous package can be found in all NPC Shops (save for the Snow Jar Igloo and Port Rakor). It contains one of five brand new Phantasmoire-themed Items, so if you're a collector, you'll want to get your hands on one ASAP! (Just watch out for the rusty spikes.)



Time to dust off your shovels, because Grave Digger is back! For those who aren't familiar, this spine-chilling game returns to Terrafrost every Phantasmoire season. Simply click on a grave to dig it up, and you'll have a chance of winning a prize! A new game starts every 30 minutes, and ends when someone comes across a Sharp Present. There's also five new consolation prizes being given out, as well as many old favourites making a return, so start digging as soon as you can. The game will be running until October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.



We hope you've picked up the latest batch of Items at the Token Booth, because we're swapping them out one last time. The Bat Plush, Candy Corn Cupcake, and Pumpkin Ice Cube have returned to the Token Booth this week. The new Sinister Apron will be available as well! It's perfect to wear when cooking for your upcoming Phantasmoire celebration.



If you've racked up a few Haunting Trophies over the years, good news -- they've received an upgrade! To trigger this upgrade, simply stock some food on your porch, and it will get the trophy based on retroactive counts. Easy as pumpkin pie!



Finally, we'd like to remind all of you about the Spooky Song-Writing Contest. If you think it's too late to enter, think again! Submit your song to @Ines by October 20th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.

They're a little early this year, but Terrafrost's resident ghosts just couldn't wait a moment longer to join in the Phantasmoire fun!

Each ghost has a favourite place to haunt, and they will only appear for those with a Phantasmoire Pet -- they are the only ones who can understand their cryptic tongue!

Once found, you have the option to either trick or treat the ghost. Choose wisely, because your decision will affect what they give you.

The ghosts will be going about their haunting business until October 31st, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, at which point they will go back into hibernation. It's hard work being a ghost!



Our resident ghosts are also a bit shy, and will only reveal themselves a few times a day. You can encourage them to open up a bit more with the Ouija Board, which will reset your visit counter for the day. It is available at the I.C.E Shop for 150 IceCash (or 135 for Gold Accounts).



What's this? It would seem that Glacia has been busy decorating!

Have any spare Tokens? The Token Booth has updated its selection! Stop by to get your hands on the brand new Sippy Beaker -- it's essential for a young, aspiring mad scientist. We're also bringing back three old Phantasmoire favourites: the Baizallach, Pumpkin Soup, and Scared Black Cat Plush! You'll want to pick them up as soon as you can, because we'll be swapping these Items out for another batch on October 16th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.

Does anyone else hear the howling of a Phantasmoire Wulfer? It almost sounds a bit musical, doesn't it? For this year's Phantasmoire contest, we're challenging everyone to write a spine-chilling song that'll be stuck in our heads for years to come. So if you've been hoping to show off your songwriting skills, now's your chance to shine!



Your song does not need to take place in Terrafrost, but it must be appropriate for the site. Scary content is allowed, of course -- just keep it PG-13! And as much as we'd love to hear an hour-long Phantasmoire-themed musical, we'd prefer if your song was 100 words or less.



Before you get out your instruments and music sheets, be sure to read over these contest guidelines:

Rule 1 - One entry per User.
Rule 2 - Work must be entirely your own.
Rule 3 - Feel free to get creative! You can use existing IcePets concepts or create your own, but it must fit the spooky theme.
Rule 4 - Your submission cannot be something that already exists on the site. This includes - and is not limited to - Book content, item descriptions, news posts, or other written content.
Rule 5 - Your submission cannot be identical to other existing works or ideas outside of IcePets; you may make references with your story, but it cannot be a direct copy.
Rule 6 - The story must be kept PG-13. For example, you may include mild violence, but not descriptive gore or brutality, etc. All entries submitted must be considered appropriate under the Terms and Conditions of IcePets.
Rule 7 - Keep your entries private and please don't share with other Users!
Rule 8 - Staff reserve the right to dismiss a submission if it is hard to view or appears no work was involved.
Rule 9 - Your entry must be uploaded and sent to @Ines by October 20th, 23:59:59 IcePets time.
Rule 10 - All entries must be 100 words or less.



As always, there are lots of great prizes to be won. Here's what the winners can expect:

First Place: A Gold Contestant Trophy, a Golden Competitor Stamp, a Pet Ghost Costume Item of your choice, a Phantasmoire Snow Jar, a copy of the new book upon release, and 200,000 IcePoints.
Second Place: A Silver Contestant Trophy, a random Pet Ghost Costume, a Phantasmoire Snow Jar, a copy of the new book upon release, and 175,000 IcePoints.
Third Place: A Bronze Contestant Trophy, a random Pet Ghost Costume, a Phantasmoire Snow Jar, a copy of the new book upon release, and 100,000 IcePoints.



In addition, all participants will also receive a Full Haunting Treat Bag! So if you needed some incentive to take part, you can expect some tasty goodies regardless of whether or not your song wins.

The contest will be ending on October 20th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time, so get writing soon -- we wouldn't want you to miss out!

It's Phantasmoire, the spookiest season in Terrafrost! If you want to get in the holiday spirit, why not give your Pets a festive new look? It's now easier than ever, because starting today, all Phantasmoire Morphing Potions will be stocking in the Snow Jar Igloo! The only exceptions are the Phantasmoire Xephyr and Phantasmoire Jakrit Morphing Potions; those two will be a little more tricky to get your hands on...



Is your favorite Morphing Potion out of stock? You might want to head over to the I.C.E Shop instead. There, you can buy a Phantasmoire Snow Jar for a fair price of 1,000 IceCash (900 for Gold Accounts.) After October ends, this Item will be going back into storage, so pick one up while the opportunity lasts.



Remember, the more Phantasmoire Pets you have, the more Haunting Treat Bags you can fill. So not only will these potions give you an awesomely-spooky Pet, but they'll allow you to stock up on more treats than ever, too!

What's that in the air...? Eerie frights and sweet delights? Why, it's the season of Phantasmoire!

Terrafrostians are encouraged to get into the spooky scary spirit with a Phantasmoire Coloured Pet, as they are experts at consuming vast amounts of sweets and braving foggy groves. Don't have a Phantasmoire Pet? Fear not! The ever generous Beauty King will morph one of your Pets for free, and the Colour will be permanently added to your Pet's Closet!



Throughout the season, Terrafrostians will be setting tasty treats out on their doorsteps for visitors -- but only those in the spirit, meaning only a Phantasmoire Pet holding an Empty Haunting Treat Bag will be able to take part.

The Empty Haunting Treat Bag may now be found restocking in any NPC Shop (excluding Port Rakor and the Snow Jar Igloo). You will also automatically turn empty bags into full ones when you collect enough goodies!

You may also stock your own doorstep with treats by going to your profile and clicking "Add Food to Doorstep". If you are in need of Food to put out, anything from Sugar Rush, Affogato, or the Glacial Grocer will do -- and those who stock a mountain of treats may also find their cumulative Trophy has a new look... or two... or three!



The exceptionally brave and daring this Phantasmoire may visit the Haunted House every three hours (instead of the usual six). It sure does seem extra haunted this time of year, but there's bound to be some seasonal Items hidden in there...




Finally, the Token Booth is offering a brand new Phantasmoire-themed Item -- the adorable, not at all dangerous, Puffball!

The Puffball, along with the returning Scarecrow Shield, Empty Grave Stamp, and Phantasmoire Dovu Wrappings, will be available until October 9th, 23:59:59 IcePets Time. They will then be replaced with a new batch of Items!

The votes have been tallied, and it's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! For this month's Yet to Win MOTM, everyone congratulate...

@princesanabo

Thank you for making IcePets a better place!



Next up, the winner of the Free for All MOTM, please congratulate...

@bibliopossum

Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community!



Both of these fantastic members will receive 100,000 IcePoints and either the exclusive Member of the Month Avatar, or, if they already have it, the Honoured Member Trophy.







While member votes were tallying for MOTM, Staff votes tallied for SOTM, and this month's winner is...

@tae

To acknowledge their contributions to the team, we've created the following Item in their honour! You can get this Item once a day by visiting the Staff Page every day this month.


Gone Haunting Krittle Plush





As we move into October, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up the new Radioactive Lipstick and Mad Scientist Dabu Plush, along with the returning Candy Corn Stamp. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Members)!



Low on IceCash? Don't fret -- we have something for you as well! Consider stopping by the Battle Shop for the new Potion Bottle Bombs! It'll also be rewarded by the Space Quest, and a week from now, the Weapons Quest will begin requesting it. We're also rolling out the new Book Beyond Comprehension! You can find it at Ralph's Page Turners, and a week from now, the Book Quest will begin requesting it.
