There was significant surprise among fans when it was announced that Mortal Kombat 1 would introduce premium seasonal fatalities.

Is the Happy Halloween Fatality Worth the Cost?

The Happy Halloween move draws inspiration from a classic Scorpion fatality. To perform it, simply hold the block button and press up twice. If executed successfully, your character will slam a pumpkin filled with creepy crawlies onto their opponent's head. After enduring a few moments of flesh-feasting, the defeated fighter will drop to their knees. Seizing the opportunity, your character swiftly kicks their head clean off their shoulders. The detached head and the pumpkin collide with a house adorned with Halloween decorations, bearing the number 1992. This significant year marks the release of the very first Mortal Kombat game.

Upon its release, the Happy Halloween fatality is available for the price of 1,200 Dragon Krystals. This amount equates to almost $10, a price that many players may consider to be unreasonably high in comparison to what is being offered. Such pricing appears even more absurd when considering that Kombat Pack 1 can be purchased for $40, delivering six new playable Kombatants and five new Kameo fighters. Collectively, these additions are expected to provide players with a total of 17 fresh fatalities.

For those who still have Dragon Krystals remaining from playing through Invasions mode or purchasing the premium edition of Mortal Kombat 1, investing in the Happy Halloween fatality might not be a bad idea. Admittedly, it is excessively expensive considering what it offers, but considering the current alternatives are either buying cosmetic items or saving up those Dragon Krystals for a while longer, having another brutal method to eliminate one's adversaries could potentially be the optimal choice for certain players.

Mortal Kombat 1 is available now on PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S.
