Hi guys,
So as usual I am behind in my AC. I just did the Halloween event tonight and I am gonna replay it tomorrow cause I haven't gotten everything I need. I do have a few questions though.

I have 8 villagers right now and only 3 were inside during the event(I actually got 4 pieces of the set cause Jack gave me 1 piece the 1st time I gave him regular candy). So the question here is,for those who have tried obviously, if I go back before halloween and play again will I get more lollipops?

I didn't get the patched dress but I'm pretty sure it's just because the only dress I had(not counting designs) was the witch robe and they won't change it(don't really know why though). So for that I'm assuming I just need to get a real dress. I did try one of my designs and a design dress from the able sisters in addition to the witch robe with no luck.

I also am unsure about the orange pumpkin head. The guide says its from a neighbor trick but I read online you get it from Jack. I am more inclined to believe the internet than the guide but I'm not sure how you get it from him. Do you get it by asking for a mask or by refusing to give him candy? Do you have to be wearing a hat at the time?

Lastly is the Jack in the box. I have gotten enough walls and carpets to cover my town but no jack in the box. Do I have to have a certain item for them to turn it into one? I tried carrier a stereo but it didn't work. Do my bags need to be full? Do I have to have on all patched clothes? All of the above?

I really appreciate you taking the time to read and respond to my query. Have a good night everyone and thanks :)
 
You have to offer Jack candy, and then when your menu opens you say "quit" and don't give it to him. He'll get ticked off and if you have nothing on your head you will get a copy of his mask.

You have to do this several times, the subsequent times have something on your head and some flowers or crappy stuff in your inventory and he may turn one into the Jack-In-The-Box.

I only got one from a bunch of tries, but I'm glad I got it. Good luck!
 
1. If you go back to Halloween, from what I've tried, you CAN still get more lollipops.
2. Like the last person has said, the orange pumpkin head comes from Jack. However, it is reorderable, so if you don't want to have to do the work for it you could ask someone for it.
3. You have to have a full inventory to get a Jack in the box, but I believe it can be from any villager.
 
And about the villagers, you can get lollipops from all villagers. After you visit all the ones that are inside, save and quit. This resets who is running around outside. It may take several tries, but it shouldn't be too hard. If you have a resident character you can get more than enough lollipops. And custom clothes can be turned into patched items. It doesn't erase your design so you can just pop it on again. ^^ fyi gracie items cannot be turn (mercifully

Jack in the boxes appear when your pocket is full, and since they can't put old walls/floors in there, it will turn one of your items into a jack in the box. This can be the worst trick if you foolishly bring any valuables along, so just put shells/other junk in there. Money can't be turned, so use it to fill any gaps.
 
Thank you all for all the helpful advice. I went back and got all the stuff I needed. I did have one worry cause I realized after getting a lollipop from all my villagers that saving and restarting wouldn't work anymore. So I knew I had to go bk to the day before to fully reset it. At that point I only needed 2 more creepy pieces and I was worried that it would "reset" Jack, that he would start giving me repeat pieces instead of what I needed but I worried for nothing.

The only real challenge of the whole thing was finding Jack but once I realized his mask looked different than the others even that was fairly easy. Thank you all again and happy gaming! :)
