Personally, Ghosts in the Box.

Fun novelty items. Nothing for titles, but throw a random one out in a town in the off-season and the reactions can be fun.

Ghost in a Box is the best out of Vial of Absinthe and Squash Serum.It's the better of the visual items.

The Witch's Brew though,is alcohol.Stronger then the ones you can buy off of Merchants..so on a list I'd say,

Ghost-in-a-box/Witch's Brew > Squash Serum > Vial of Absinthe.

Are there different vendors or something to get the items?

The only one I knew about was the trader in Lion's Arch who takes Orr Emblems.

Absinthe now only has a 1 minute duration, so its the same as most alcohols.

Ghost in a Box is the best item to get. Unless they changed it from last year, it is not just a "fun novelty item," but necros can actually get soul reaping off of it. As such, it is the only Halloween item with a useful effect.

Absinthe and Witch's Brew do both get you drunk, Absinthe is the stronger of the two, it's not about the duration, but about the degre of drunkeness a single use will add to you. It also has a cool green light effect when you use it.

And yes, Squash Serum does give you a glowy pumpkin head, but it doesn't last long, something like 15-30 seconds if I recall.

But it takes 5 Absinthes to get max effect, so wouldnt that mean each use raises 1 level of drunkeness? So they arent really stronger.
