Octerror Fest 2015 was the fifth Octerror Fest for The SpongeBob Community, which started October 16, 2015 (however, it was released early late at night on October 15) and ended November 1, 2015. It was confirmed by jjsthekid in the Teams Sign-Ups topic. It contained a teams tournament between the Band Geeks and Drasticals, which the Band Geeks won 2-1. Loyal Customers received a sneak peek of it on October 3, 2015, and it was publicly announced October 7, 2015.
General
During the event, the group names changed to SpongeBob Halloween related names. Managers, Cashiers and Customers became orange, purple and light blue instead of red, blue and teal.
Managers --> Slashers
Cashiers --> Floating Shopping Lists
Retired Employees --> Haunted Mattresses
Band Geeks --> Band Freaks
Drasticals --> Ghasticals
Loyal Customers --> Dutchman's Crew
Customers --> Ghosts
Nematodes --> Zombies
They also received exclusive badge redesigns to fit the names (except for Band Geeks and Drasticals), which can be found in the gallery below.
SpongeCraft also received a Halloween makeover using a design pack installed by Face. If you chose to use it, everything on the server transformed into a spooky/Halloween theme. SBC Music also got a Halloween background.
Events
SpongeBob Jeopardy!
Three SpongeBob Jeopardy games during the month (October 17th, 24th and 31st) were a part of the event, forming a three-parter story called "Stakes, Ghosts and Toasts". Fred Rechid won the first game. Trophy won the second game. Fa won the third game.
Hooky
A Whodunit/And Then There Were None survival game, that works similar to The Fry Cook Games, SpongeBob's ScarePlay, and Kelp Forest Survival from past forum events. It lasted from October 19th to October 29th, 2015. It started off as "The Flying Dutchman's Dinner Party" with a sign-up thread as a bait and switch, which ended with The Flying Dutchman being killed, thus beginning the "Hooky" game. 21 users signed up, and one of them was a killer in disguise, The Fisherman. Users had to complete challenges and puzzles to figure out who The Fisherman was, as users were killed off each night. The winner was TheOpenWindowManiac as Alfred the Lightbulb who killed The Fisherman, whom was SpongeOddFan as Squidward. OpenWindowManiac received 5,000 doubloons, an exclusive Fisherman Coat for iFish, and got to keep the Sheriff badge. SOF got to keep a Fisherman badge and also got 2,500 doubloons for coming in 2nd place, however. Everyone else who was killed during the game also got to keep their Dead badge (up until September 18, 2016).
