Yeah, a lot of people gave up on that event, so You're not alone. I did get my Castle Recycle and Boxingham Palace to Level 26, to get 6 extra wall sections for them, but stopped at Level 20 with my Barbarian Castle as the wall sections for it were only 100 Elixir each. I mostly worried about collecting as much Gold as I could so I could get the costumes leveled up as much as I could, and getting more Nerds and sending them out every 2 hours or so helped a lot towards that end. I did get my Barbarian Homer costume up to Level 123, and was close to getting him to Level 124 when the Content Update for Treehouse of Horror XXV finally arrived for me late on the 7th of October. I have the levels for all four of my Costumes on my profile page under Statistics, and you can click on my Castles to see how far I got.

I mostly bought Windmills and Barbarian Castle wall sections, but I did get at least a few extra of everything. I like your idea if using the Guillotines in your Halloween decorations, I may have to try that. I did have a Windmill farm down at my Beach, but I had to take it down and move my Jet Engine Bikes back there to make room for Halloween decorations. I may have to clear some of House Farm at some point to make room, just the block of 96 extra White Houses I have in a 9 plot adjunct to my main block of White and Blue Houses. I could put some of my older decorations from prior Events away, but most of them boost my bonus percentage, so I could still move them behind buildings to free up room.

I finally crafted the Grand Pumpkin and even one Pumpkin House only to find that it only pays out 1 Pumpkin every 24 hours!?!?! WTF? All that work collecting enough candy to craft it and it only pays out ONE LOUSY STINKING PUMPKIN A DAY? WHA!?!?!? :-O
