The '''Haunted Woods''' is a spooky [[Wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]]-themed world within [[Neopets]], introduced on 31st October 2000. It is filled with many evil and wretched things, and home to [[Eliv Thade]], [[Edna]] and many other [[villain]]s of [[Neopia]].

The Deserted Fairground is a part of the Haunted Woods. It hosts a few shops, as well as many games to play (like [[Test Your Strength]] and the [[Wheel of Misfortune]]), although many of the games are rigged, and so are almost unwinnable.

==Yooyuball==
The Haunted Woods [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team subscribes to the old saying "defense wins championships," and has built its team to shut down forwards and force mistakes which create easy scoring opportunities for them, requires plenty of discipline and determination from the other team to defeat them. The Haunted Woods won the Altador Cup of 2006.

With the retirement of veteran defender [[Chelo Binay]] in 2007, it was questioned whether the defensive unit of the team would be as good as last years. If the playing of newcomer [[Autrey Fulse]] was any indication, Haunted Woods fans with hopes of back-to-back titles wouldn't need to worry. However, the favourites going into last year's tournament were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], and [[Mystery Island]], so it's uncertain how the year would go. A disappointment to Haunted Woods fans was a drop from a championship to 7th, then continuing a gradual slide from grace with a 8th in 08 and 10th in 09
