==Welcome to Halloween 2009!==

The ghoul-apalooza begins on October 23rd and runs until 12:01 AM Pacific time on November 2nd. The main festivities take place in [[Lion's Arch]] and [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]], but the Halloween spirit can be found in other places around Tyria.}}

:When the harvest is in and the moon sails high
:And the shadows begin to lengthen
:Mad King Thorn’s games begin! His minions ride!
:His grip on the land will strengthen 
:But all is not well on this Halloween
:It stirs in the Underworld’s gloom
:An ancient evil, long unseen
:If awakened, it spells our doom 
:Do partake in the Mad King’s revelry
:But take care in the jack o’ lantern glow
:For this is the season of devilry
:And something wicked lurks deep below

===Mad King appearances===
