Details
The Splatfest took place over the course of 48 hours instead of the normal 24 hours. It was the first 48-hour Splatfest in Splatoon 2.

In addition to the normal changes at Splatfest time (central stage appearing in Inkopolis Square, all stages shown at night time), there were several changes unique to this Splatfest as part of the Halloween theme:


 * The in-game logo showed "Splatoween" instead of "Splatoon 2".
 * There was a unique sound for starting the game from the title screen.
 * Inkopolis Square had additional glow-in-the-dark decorations in the shapes of manta rays, starfish, and glowing ooze.
 * The various stages had decorative glowing stickers, graffiti, and other unique decorations.
 * Existing graffiti was modified, mainly by depicting characters as ghost, zombie or mummified versions of themselves.
 * There was also brand-new graffiti, such as a bony spider-like creature, skeletal sharks, and squid and octopus-shaped ghouls.
 * The full moon from the Retro vs. Modern and Tsubuan vs. Koshian Splatfests appeared in the sky.
 * The edges of ink splatters on the floor, on walls and on the map, as well as stage objects such as sponges pulsated in a brighter color, appearing to glow in the dark.
 * In the opening scene for a match, the screen showed a vintage film-grain filter with ghost-like squids flying upwards.
 * A special news article in the Nintendo Switch news rewarded players with four unique pieces of headgear (similar to the distribution of the SWC Logo Tee), all of them glowing or lighting up in the dark:
 * (Reference to the Japanese name of Jiang Shi, or Chinese vampires)
 * (Reference to the killer Jason from the Friday the 13th franchise)
