Halloween 3D is a playful dress-up scene for iPhone and iPad. A scarecrow stands on a hill under a drifting ring of clouds and a gnarled old tree; you decide what it wears, what surrounds it, and how the night looks. DRESS THE SCARECROW • Six pages of decorations around the edge of the screen: masks and heads, hats, shirts, pants and dozens of props. • Tap an item to put it on the scarecrow, tap again to take it off. Picking a new hat or mask swaps the old one out for you. • Pumpkins, lanterns and other lights glow on their own; pick a moon to hang in the sky. • Three hills to stand on: grass, stone, or snow with real snowflakes instead of leaves. • Clear All puts everything back to the bare scarecrow in one tap. SET THE SCENE • Lights on or off: turn the room lights down and the sky, clouds and tree fade so the glowing props stand out. • Shake the device for a flurry of autumn leaves (or snow on the snow hill) that spiral down around the scene. • Reset brings the camera, lights and decorations back to the start. LOOK AROUND • View mode hides the menu so you can drag to orbit the scarecrow and pinch to zoom; double tap to recenter. • Save a picture of your scene straight to your photo library. • Halloween music and sound effects, with a one-tap mute. Your scarecrow is saved when you leave and is waiting when you come back. No account needed. Halloween 3D is free and supported by a small banner ad that appears only while the decorations menu is showing; a one-time Remove Ads purchase takes it away for good. Happy Holidays!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Halloween 3D at Free against Jack's $0.99. Halloween 3D also leads on ratings volume (895 vs 4) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 30 months). Jack's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
