BFS must be losing their minds right now. I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is Karma for giving us overly-redundant events. They didn't mix it up, and now they are paying the consequences. Ironic, given that one would think that repeating the same event would mean there were LESS bugs each time...

I just had the same pop up message too. Though I don't seem to have lost candies & I still have a few hours of the event left apparently (UK, anyone else?) Never hot the spooky theme, but not too bothered about that anyway!

I got the pop-up in park2, so came here to find out what was going on. My 2 parks got the theme yesterday, and since then I have been collecting and turning in candies. I don't appear to have lost any, and the event is still live, no indications of it finishing. I was logged out of both parks with 24 hrs to go on the timer, at a fitness class. I'm still collecting candies, and have the island, castle and the bar filling below the next spooky theme. So I guess that I'm not affected by the bug, and will get any rewards when it finishes properly.

Still shows around 16 hours remaining on my park. (US/West Coast). I got the spooky theme yesterday, which I completely didn't expect as I'd stopped tracking days ago, LOL. Had to be all the gems I've spent getting just one Nightmare that pushed me up to getting the theme. Turned everything in and event didn't end. Collected another 100 treats after that, didn't turn them in, but also didn't lose any. No cauldron here, island is still in place. I'm sure everyone will get what they've earned, and probably a bit more besides, BFS is pretty good about that.

It has been a hectic day trying to figure out what is happening with my candies. I keep detail records of how many candies I collect each day. After comparing my records and what is left on the Spooky Island, I figured out that I did not lose any candy at Park 2 and 3 but lost 330 candies. That is the exact number of candies that I collected this morning during the last double day. I do not know whether this is a coincidence or not.
The event should be ending around 17:30:00 UTC November 4th, unless Backflip changes it for some reason.
My Whitbee's Castle currently shows that More Candy will be available in about 3 hours. Since the event will last another 14 hours, is it possible that we can collect more candies tomorrow?

There will be a partial cycle on the last day of the event so candy could be collected still as long as it is before 17:30:00 UTC which is probably about 10.5 hours after the reset where candy collection is still possible.
For some of us the event ended about 9 or 10 hours ago. I don't have the island and can't collect any more candies, so I missed out on a days worth of candies which translates into missed treats. However, I did get all the prizes and the treats for what I had already collected. I think it has something to do with when you were in your park as they were scrambling to fix the mistake of ending the event early. My small park that I was not in until later has the island and I have collected an additional 110 candies since the fiasco, however I lost the 553 candies I had collected since getting the spooky theme. It will be interesting to see how they sort this out to make everyone happy.

If you email them with your Game Center or Facebook ID and approximately how much candy you think you lost they will try to credit it back to you.
Although since they are receiving a lot of emails this may take a little while for them to respond to.

It looks as if people have lost any candies collected, but not turned in. The way I have read posts here, no candies have been lost from the progress bars on the event island.

The bug affects those who had NOT turned their candies in. For others it seems to be ok. So make sure to turn in whatever candies you collect.
Dunno about that. I turned in my candy and got cauldron and treats. But as soon as the points started flying up the screen, I once again launched into obsessive behaviour.
Social experiment?
(After all, everyone knows even monkeys will touch an icon if it nets them a banana. And parrots will sing ringtones if it means some human will do something funny that they're interested in).
Just popped on this morning (8.50am UK) and the event is still going & says more candies available in 22hrs! Not complaining, I'll just keep collecting until it ends! ?

It'll last about 8 more hours according to the in game timer.

All I'm wishing for in 8 hours is a second Zombie dragon.
But if it brings my dragons more food, I'm not complaining
I now have both dragons, the dark and spooky themes, and the final prize on the help menu list. The castle on the island is fully lit up. However there's a new progress bar showing since I won the final listed prize - which was the spooky theme.
So what's this next collection of candies saving for. Have I already won Whitby's castle, or not?
It's all a bit of a mess I think, with the event finished for many people, but for others we are still saving candies, but I'm not sure for what?!

The event hasn't ended.
You can win the spooky theme up to 12 times, so your progress bar is for the 2nd spooky theme you can earn.
The event is explained very well in the help menu. It was just the glitch today that caused a mess for a majority of the players.
