Celebrating Halloween on your Mac this year?

What’s the mystery behind the mask!

Today’s Halloween Mystery Bundle has some great titles. The applications have never been seen on MacZOT heretofore. For those who can harness the power of buying the unknown, you may be pleasantly surprised by the valuable contents.

Go get it!

  1. Christian Says:

    Bought it.

  2. lonniehb Says:

    Me too.

  3. Colin Says:

    Me three…

  4. erichd Says:

    When does it end?

    Why did it start just a couple hours ago (if that long) and not earlier (like at midngiht PDT)?

  5. Rod Says:

    I’m in too. Why is it that I cannot resist these mystery style Zots?

  6. Michael Says:

    I hope it comes with a Monkey’s Paw.

  7. Mark S Says:

    I’ve been disappointed by the last two MysteryZOTs. I think I’ll stand out on this one.

  8. ReesMaxwell Says:

    OK, I’m new to the world of ZOT. I’ll give this one a go. I imagine there ought to be something in the pack worth the 7 clams. We’ll see….

    (Please don’t let it be Halloween screensavers and icons that we get to download on Nov 1st.) :-)

  9. mbazzoni Says:

    You tried to sneak this one in on me…good thing I check my e-mail after work…I’m in.

  10. flec65 Says:

    Zotted!
    I’ve been burn with the last MZ but I can’t help it…

  11. Bill I Says:

    I too have been burned by the last couple of MysteryZOTs, but find it remarkably difficult to ignore the call of the MysteryZOT….to ZOT or not to ZOT, that is the question.

  12. Noah W. Says:

    Only like 7 min left!

  13. Nick Says:

    I was a bit upset at the last MysteryZOT, too, but I’m willing to spend $7 to try one more time. Worst case, it’s the last $7 I ever spend here.

  14. Eddie Says:

    Why don’t my comments appear? When I try to post it again, I get:
    “Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”

  15. Josh Says:

    I’d jump on this if I knew how many apps are in the bundle.

  16. Jason Says:

    Woohoo, another Mystery ZOT. I’m in.
    You can’t beat $6.95.

  17. Ryan Says:

    I too purchased this app. I thought that the apps in the Efficiency Mystery Bundle were too similar, so hopefully there’s no repeat of that on this bundle.

    They know that there’s just something about a mystery that attracts me.

  18. ScottJL Says:

    it’s nice that we were told they aren’t repeats. so i’m in. happy halloween ya’ll!

  19. Eamon Ford Says:

    Yar, happy Halloween! Zotted.

  20. offline Says:

    here we go again…

  21. jimmy Says:

    i wonder if they are all halloween type apps, or if they are general useful apps.

  22. MK Says:

    I like how ZOT is really milking the artwork that debuted witht the TastyTwenty Five myztery ZOT. It was most recently used for the EfficiencyZOT as well. :-)

  23. kramy jnr Says:

    I’m hoping for Cha-Ching!

  24. cheerful Says:

    i’m hoping for disco

  25. happy Says:

    anybody else notice its filed under internet utilities…….

  26. erichd Says:

    Happy,

    notice also: fun.

    I’m hoping for “Blocky 2: Dot’s revenge” ;)

  27. cheerful Says:

    oh yar, i believe it is a treat to a trick.

  28. Ryan Says:

    I’m nervous I’ve never done one of these before. Hope that I don’t end up getting had. O and thanks MacZOT for the Disco at such a price. That led me here.

  29. Taxman Says:

    I don’t see how it could be Disco since they say the applications have never been seen on MacZot before. Disco was featured as a pre-order several months ago and then again just yesterday so that pretty much rules it out.

  30. SoftwareJunkie Says:

    Damn.

  31. Milty Says:

    I’m hoping for Awaken.

  32. RequiemX Says:

    Awaken! Awaken! Awaken! Awaken! Take the land the must be taken!

  33. Matt Says:

    I purchased the ZOT too, couldn’t resist on Halloween (I stayed out of the last ZOTs and missed out on the imminent burning).

    Things I would like to see (although highly unlikely):

    Notae
    Checkout
    Cha-ching
    or Speed Download

  34. Minezamac Says:

    OK sure I don’t use either of the last two apps in the mystery zot, but at $6.95 I am still up on the copy of disco I gave to a friend from yesterday.

  35. Groxx Says:

    Argh. Why do you do this to me, Zot??!?

    *buys*

  36. Jason Says:

    Uh… I could of sworn that earlier today the front page read “Normal Price: >$38.00″ – now it reads “Normal Price: >$57.00″ … Weird.

  37. erichd Says:

    Wait, is inflation really that bad?

    $38 up to $57 in about 5 hours?

    Wow. Glad I filled up day before yesterday.

  38. Colin Says:

    Crossing my fingers for cha-ching too…

  39. Chester Says:

    This is the first time I landed on Zot… and it’s a mysteryZot… I just bought it. For about $10.00 Cdn, I think it’s a good little fun.

  40. Gareth Says:

    Maybe they managed to get another app into the bundle…

    “The applications have never been seen on MacZOT ” so I’m in.

  41. Jeff Says:

    My first ZOT – hope it’s a good one :-)

  42. SoftwareJunkie Says:

    It’s *over* $57.

  43. Josh Says:

    >$57 worth of stuff for

  44. Josh Says:

    $57 worth of stuff for $7 seems like a good deal to me. I hope it’s 2-3 good things and not 4-∞ little useless things.

  45. kodac Says:

    Boy with all these guesses flying around I’m surprised no one said the winners of MyDreamApp… ;)

    or how about full versions of the freebies from the MDA voting rounds ?

  46. kodac Says:

    Actually I’m hoping for shadowburn cause somehow I missed it last time…

  47. Mr. Orange Says:

    I just bought my first MysteryZOT and I’m wondering which Apps were included in the previous MysteryZOTs? Can anyone tell, please?

  48. ad Says:

    Grmpf, c’mon guys… Not again 24 Hours… :(

  49. kodac Says:

    hey guys just curious, why did the clock say 23 mins left at 11:30pm and now at 12:00am it says 23 hrs left?

  50. ad Says:

    @Kodac: This is the “macZOT!-TimeWarp” – never heard of it? :D

  51. kodac Says:

    yep, but lately they’ve been pretty good about adding extra days instead of resetting the clock…

  52. ad Says:

    Yes, this isn’t funny and one of the things i don’t like at macZOT! :(

  53. Josh Says:

    dude…it’s not halloween anymore. time to end it.

  54. Dan Says:

    My guess is that they added an app worth about $19 and want to give people an extra day to jump on board…

    I do think if you jump on board the FIRST day, you should get some ZotBucks or something…

  55. Greenie Says:

    I would love to see the third app that was mentioned in the last ZotGeist-news we received and which hasn’t shown up here until now. Won’t say more :-)

  56. Mymac Says:

    I passed on the latest two MysteryZot’s since I’ve got some duplicates of zot’ed software, duplicate licenses that is. I must however be a Zot o’holic because I fell for this one right away.

    But please not duplicates of software I’ve already got via MacZot, you hear me?

  57. ad Says:

    And I would love to see my BirthDayZOT! ’cause my B-Day is today! :)

    (Anyone of the ZOT-team reading this, hmm?)

  58. TommyW Says:

    I’m in…

    Would be thrilled with…

    Delicious Library…. Oh foolish man… you dream too much.

  59. reesmaxwell Says:

    OK, quite new here so don’t bash me for asking:
    Where is the clock telling me how long the item is available? I don’t see it anywhere.

    -Thanks!

  60. James Says:

    Hey Ad! Happy Birthday ;-)

    I would love to see another copy of Panorama….

    @Mymac: There won’t be any duplicates, cause these software products were not in any ZOT before as stated in the description.

  61. captkevman Says:

    Dangit! This site is gonna make me go broke saving money.

    Bought yesterday; hoping for a satisfying reveal.

  62. kodac Says:

    Actually the word used was “heretofore” which I’m taking to mean that we might not have seen it YET, but we will see it/them again at least once more….

    Heretofore \Here`to*fore”\, adv.
    Up to this time; hitherto; before; in time past. –Shak.
    [1913 Webster]

  63. Thorsten von Plotho-Kettner Says:

    Yeah Ad, shake my hand :)

    I am out of this ZOT ´cause I have to buy in to some podhoster for my podcast is knocking .mac out of its traffic-socks. Maybe next time :)

  64. Eddie Says:

    Zot bucks????

  65. Joe Says:

    Waiting for the sun …

  66. Christian Says:

    I hope VisualHub is thrown in there somewhere…

  67. Sturek Says:

    Arrrr….I’ve been off the MacZOT drug for a couple of weeks, because I can’t afford software I don’t REALLY need at the moment, but this is just too much :P
    I can’t resist a mystery, not this time of year :P

  68. Matthias Says:

    No way to get around this offer. :) I joined Zot yesterday fpr the disco offer and now… I bought again.

    Hope that the apps will come in handy for me.

  69. Joe Says:

    Halloween is over, where are the goods or was this just a trick?

  70. Attabui Says:

    Ga… I’m so weak. *buys*
    Damn you, MacZOT!

  71. Attabui Says:

    Maybe the whole timewarp thing is an equivalent to eBay’s ‘reserve’? Unless they get enough people to buy, they (insert bad thing here – lose money, are in bad rep. with the developers, etc.). Just a thought.

  72. MK Says:

    Hmm. None of my comments are getting posted.

  73. IcarusFountain Says:

    @CaptKevMan: Hey Kev! I assume you’re the same as CaptKevMan on MAF/M|LF?

    Seeing the value increase was nice, but yeah, its not Halloween anymore. This thing shouldn’t still be going. *sigh*

    I bought it last night, though, when it only said it was worth $38. As long as they’re new (which they apparently will be), its worth it for me. I gotta say, this site rocks for switchers like me.

  74. Jefe Says:

    Greenie.. for a second I thought you were on to something, given the mention in zotgeist jolt, and the category of this zot.

    But, I looked up the MSRP on that app.. and it is much greater than $38. And the addition of it to the >$38 would make it much greater than $57.

    So I’m thinking not in this bundle.

  75. Hellbus Says:

    Popped my Maczot cherry!

  76. ChadO Says:

    Oh man, my wife’s not gonna like this… First it was Disco+an extra license… now this…

    Hello,

    My name is Chad and I’m a Zotoholic…

  77. Winston Says:

    Couldn’t resist. Delicious Library or TextMate would be great.

  78. Brian Says:

    I have Delicious Library and TextMate already, so I hope it isn’t them.

  79. dburney Says:

    Aaagh – I can’t stop. We’re going to need a 12-step program soon. I’ve been Zot-free for several weeks now. But then there was Disco. And now we’ve got a 6.95 MysteryZot? How can I refuse. Oh for shame – my wife is going to have my head.

  80. smokeghetto Says:

    Mr. Zot

    When will the Zot be unleashed?

    @ dburney:
    If your wife will have your head over $6 bucks, you might want to think about a part time job and or divorce.

  81. Brian Says:

    Also, why si this on here today? Halloween was yesterday.

  82. ubrgeek Says:

    OK, seriously, it’s 1309EST. Where the hell is the thing?

  83. Mayank Says:

    This is too much for me to resist… Damn…. GOD bless MacZot… Since… it is mentioned… apps not see here before… I don’t get Disco again… already have 2 copies of it… :)

  84. Jeff Says:

    My first MZ, hopefully it will be good as everyone has complained the last two times the MZ’s have come around.

    QUESTION: How do you become a zotgeist?

  85. Eniregnat Says:

    I should be saving my pennies, but I have an idea that this will be a good deal. I did well with the MysteryZot and the ShoeZot.

  86. wes Says:

    its impossible to resist. and all new apps… cant beat that.

  87. Danny Doe Jr Says:

    Very curious which apps are in the bundle. This one was stronger than me. MacZot drives me completely nutz… “Somebody get me a doctor”, as the great American poet David Lee Roth said years ago…

  88. Mark Says:

    I hope it isn’t ****************** or ************* or even ********* as I have all three (go on … count the stars; have a guess at the name; then I’ll tell you the stars are just at random!)

    I’m in

  89. ReesMaxwell Says:

    Anyone want to comment on where they are seeing the time left on this deal?

  90. William Says:

    Hooray, my first ZOT…hope it will awesome!

  91. Joe Says:

    My first day at macZot and I am in! Probably should have check the site out more but 6.95 for software can’t be passed up.

  92. mikael Says:

    this is my first maczot ever. i’m dreaming for little snitch, skedit or candybar.

  93. Eniregnat Says:

    Did something just happen to the Matrix?

    That’s my cryptic guess.

  94. Colin Says:

    Anyword on this ZOT!… The time limit I saw when ordering has long past..

  95. Samuel Says:

    Will be interesting to see if they are really useful apps, or just time wasters – I hope they’re the earlier! ;)

    And yes the said value has gone up…let’s hope it’s real world value.

  96. Pete Swigart Says:

    No one has an extra registration of disco on hand? Id love to take it off your hands…. PASwigart at gmail dot com

  97. Joshua Says:

    So… where is it? It’s been nearly a full 24 hours since I ordered. Bizarre.
    I hope its cool, though. This is my first mystery bundle purchase.

  98. Brandon Wardlaw Says:

    This better be a treat.

    If this is a trick – may a thousand angry gerbils consume you.

  99. James Says:

    I don’t know why it’s still available. I wish it weren’t. If it had just ended when it said it was supposed to, I wouldn’t have bought it.

  100. Brandon Eley Says:

    I got this one… my first Mystery Zot. I just purchased my first app (Checkbook) the other day.

    Hopefully this stuff is cool software, but for $7 you can’t lose. It’s worth the $7 if even one of the apps is cool.

  101. Ryan Says:

    Just took a look at the top list for Suggest-a-Zot, and I have to say that if it’s one or more of the ones towards the top, we’re in for a great surprise.

    I’m personally hoping for Transmit or Delicious Library.

  102. reesmaxwell Says:

    It sure is an odd feeling to see my comments, which had been up dor many hours, suddenly gone from the thread. Hey ZOTguys … are you working on this issue?

  103. Nick Says:

    Seriously…where is the Zot? Its already Thursday…

  104. Dave Says:

    Ummm It’s way past halloween (is it still 1st November in USA yet?) and I’ve recieved no email that my request has been approved? :\ its just my order is pending at the moment..

  105. Jan Says:

    Wiretap would be excellent.

  106. Woei Says:

    Any idea when the mystery package will be unveiled?

    It 15 more minutes to 12am…

  107. zero9ine Says:

    my comments wont post.

  108. zero9ine Says:

    Oh it does now. :)

  109. Brian Says:

    We are approaching 3AM….

  110. Brian Says:

    Here come the serials!!

    :)

  111. nixfu Says:

    When do we find out if its a trick or treat?

  112. zero9ine Says:

    The treat is you pay for zot’s bandwidth fees :P

  113. kodac Says:

    LOL Zero…. That’s a good one ;)

  114. nixfu Says:

    FYI…

    1. Direct Mail by e3 Software

    2. Audiobook Builder by Splasm

    3. Platypus | from the Mac Game Store

  115. Eli Hodapp Says:

    The Mystery Zot:

    Direct Mail – http://ethreesoftware.com/directmail/

    …An app for spamming?

    Audiobook Builder – http://splasm.com/audiobookbuilder/

    An MP3 ripper/joiner eh, wouldn’t it be great if iTunes did that… OH WAIT.

    Platypus – http://www.macgamestore.com/detail.php?ProductID=545

    Some weird game I’ll never play.

    I’m still actually in complete shock macZOT tricked people in to buying a SPAMMING APP! TRICK or treat ZOT INDEED!
