Pretty Scary Update coming October 24th, sooner than expected

Many readers of ours and followers of Mojang usually have a single question: when is the update coming out? Well today you have your answer: October 24th. Since the update had the nicknames 'Halloween Update 2.0' and the more official 'Pretty Scary Update', many believed the update would arrive on Halloween. Good news, because it's coming even earlier. So while I'm making my Tron Legacy costume with a lot of LEDs, you guys can be battling witches in Minecraft 1.4. See the source link for the official announcement.
