This is my first Dark Harvest Festival, so I'm really excited... But there's a problem - I don't want any of the expiring masks, and it seems that I can't farm fast enough for the permanent ones before the event is over.

1. Can the Punkin King be hit by guns during the Trick? I can't seem to deal damage to him.
2. (If the answer to the above question is yes,) My best gun locks me in place (autogun), giving the respawning enemies time to attack and the King time to escape - Should I switch for a much faster but far weaker gun (antigua) to hit him for the first few times, or should I keep my stronger one?
3. How often do Grim Scarabs appear from gravestones instead of zombies? I'm not sure if I should farm Graveyards as well as Clockwork Tunnels, or not waste time on it.
4. Can the Dark Harvest only been played once, or completed once?
5. Similar to #2, but my sword isn't that slow (calibur). Still, should I switch it for something faster (spur/flourish/cutter), or not?

Any general tips on getting more candy?
1. yes but might be tricky to hit, maybe aim at the shadow.
2. probably easier to hit him with faster guns than a blitz but I usually use swords for this. Although it seems to help if you have someone else with a shiv and then fire a blitz charge just as his trick begins.
3. They're fairly rare but you should probably get at least 1 or 2 per graveyard, maybe more. The graveyard ones are the only way of getting Brittle candy for the scarab mask (besides prestige rewards/buying them) so if you don't have everything yet you'd want to do both.
4. It's like the regular prestige missions, you can only get the rewards once per day, but you can go through it again if someone invites you.
5. caliburs are good enough
