Come nightfall (6PM-11:59PM) the Halloween party begins. As a player there is a lot to do and a lot of items to collect, if you know where to look. I'd like to make a short guide about what you can do and along with the comments and tips from other forum users and experienced players we can all celebrate a happy Animal Crossing Halloween~!! 
Obtaining furniture
When you found King Jack you can do 2 things: give him candy in exchange for one Spooky furniture piece, or give him a lollipop in exchange for one Creepy furniture piece. The Spooky serries (orange) can also be ordered or bought at Nooklings. Jack is wearing an orange mask. Sometimes Jack will give you a Creepy piece for a candy.
Lollipops
These can be obtained by scaring villagers whom are inside of their house. Depending on their personality they are scared for 1 of the 6 masks you could buy at the Able Sister's store. Wear the mask and enter their home to scare them and receive the Lollipop. Check this list to learn more about their fears. Villagers outside also give you hints on what others are scared by. You can only obtain 1 Lollipop. If you scare them more then once they only give candy. If you want more Lollipop's you should visit another town and scare those villagers the same way you did at home.
Candy
These could be bought from Nookling's the entire month. Villagers outside are hunting for candy and they will run after you when they see you. If they catch you they will offer a Trick or Treat. Treat: will force you to give one candy to that villager in return for information on what others are scared by (which you don't need if you use the list I posted above). Trick: will start one of two games, charades (word guessing game, "hints") or rock-paper-scissors. Winning will earn you 1 candy.
When you lose the game:
- and are not wearing any mask the villager will give you their coloured mask. (there's 5 colors)
- and are wearing a mask the villager will transform your shirt, pants, dress or shoes, into patched. If you are wearing a pattern it won't be transformed. Socks are not affected.
- and are wearing a mask, with patched clothes, the villager will give you junk in your inventory.
- and are wearing a mask, with a patched set, with a full inventory, the villager will transform a random item into Jack-in-box. Shells and flowers seem to be priority. Furniture and masks don't seem to be transformed, not 100% sure though.
Obtaining all 5 pumpkin masks
There are 5 colours: Orange (which is catalogued), Pink, Yellow, Green and Purple. Make sure you don't wear a mask. Find a villager with your desired colour and play their game as described above. Lose the game and the villager will give you their mask for you to wear. Masks have a priority over patched clothing.
Important tips
- Don't wear precious clothing because villagers and Jack can destroy them. Wearing patterns will help.
- Don't carry valuable items during Halloween night. These can be changed into Jack-in-a-box items which cost money to dispose off.
- Leaving Candy on the floor might cause roaches to appear. I don't know if they will eat them.
