Octerror Fest 2017
Octerror Fest 2017 is the seventh Octerror Fest for The SpongeBob Community, which started October 13, 2017 and concluded October 31, 2017. Like last year's, every game during the event counted for a teams tournament named the "Octerror Cup" between the Band Geeks (Frankensteins), Drasticals (Vampires), and independent users (Ghosts), where everyone could play it. The Drasticals won in the end. Loyal Customers received a sneak peek of it on October 1, 2017, and it was publicly announced October 6, 2017.

Managers --> Slashers
Cashiers --> Floating Shopping Lists
Retired Employees --> Haunted Mattresses

They also received exclusive badge redesigns to fit the names (except for Nematodes), which can be found in the gallery below. Unlike the past two years, the Band Geeks and Drasticals got temporary new badges this time.
The Wheel of Fortune, Dunces & Dragons, SpongeBob Jeopardy, and SBC Music rooms received Halloween decorations during the event (seen in Gallery). SpongeCraft's directory room received Halloween decorations thanks to sbl. It did not get an update pack like the past two years due to none being available.
Events
Stop What You Are Doing: Halloween Edition
The 20th Stop What You Are Doing happened during the event. Users reserved a Halloween name, which they used for the whole event.
SpongeBob Whodunnit?
Originally known as "Whodunnit at the Krusty Krab?" In this game, the goal was to figure out who stole the Krabby Patties! The following characters were suspects: SpongeBob, Patrick, Plankton, Larry, Old Man Jenkins, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Mrs. Puff, Squilliam, and Sandy. On select days during the event, the characters came on and released their anecdote on what happened. The characters also came on to answer user's questions as well in their topics. Users had to PM MDPP who they thought was the patty thief. On October 31st, Mrs. Puff was revealed to be the culprit. The winners who correctly guessed (SpongeOddFan, Hayden, Cream, Ol Bold and Brash, TheOpenWindowManiac, Homie, DarknessDG and Trophy) received 5,000 doubloons each and a point for their team on the scoreboard.

A Whodunit/And Then There Were None survival game, which is the third Hooky game in SBC history. 15 users signed up, and this time unlike the past two years, there were two Fishermen instead of one. Users had to complete challenges and puzzles to figure out who both Fishermen were, as users were killed off each night. Like last year, the top two people to finish the challenge were immune from being killed, instead of just one. There was also a power-up store to buy some advantages like last year. Whoever was first to complete the challenges would gain a point for their side on the scoreboard.
