Alright, time to post some ideas.

1. I like the new way to get candy(goblins) but I feel like there could be some changes and/or additions that could've made them a little bit better. You could have different color goblins(or not even different colored, doesn't matter much) drop different amounts of candy. Make a more common goblin who will drop 1-3 candies, then you could have less likely goblins that would drop the normal amounts.

2. Maybe have some sort of game that would give candies as well? You have crab chance and the Buffalo nexus game, which could be reskined for Halloween, and give out candy. I think crab chance could be good, maybe have an exclusive hat or two in that crab chance game? Yes, I realize that graphics are time consuming but it could be a haunted crab or something. That would keep players playing said game

3. My feelings are that the more ways to get candy, the better. You mentioned the candy bowls, which would also be a good addition.

4. Lastly, on the note of hats. You could take player suggestions, I've read coco's statement about most of them being pretty poor, but you can't make more hats, this is the only way. Maybe add an incentive of some sort to have the players hat added to the game? Maybe say "you got the bat hat, made by (fill in name here)" besides that, there isn't a way to increase the pool right now, without overworking the Gfx team.

There are problems with my ideas, yeah. The crab chance crabs would lag, probably. But they are just ideas, thoughts on what could be added. Aside from that the event works for me.

(Maybe some more fun tricks, if possible)

Just saw this, my thoughts would be for next year.
