Having the same issue. I've been standing in Gracy for about 15 minutes with no spawn.
Pumpkin in Manssen doesn't work on Syntax.

They run on the same timer as Agents, WCs, sati boxes, or another set of Zombies. If you have any of these already active the zombies wont spawn.

Then it may just be bad "luck" in spawns. The way the spawns work is that every 300seconds (at least I think its 300 but not positive here) you have a chance of getting whatever the spawns are for the area your in. If nothing spawns you have to wait another 300 (or whatever it is) until you can get another spawns.
This is excluding sati boxes which always spawn once you open the box but again if you have one active you can't get another else to spawn while its timer is still going.
Pumpkins might also be on the same timer because I know you can't get the lupins to spawn while your being attacked by Zombies and Ive yet to have zombies attack while fighting off lupines.
Not digging the whole "Can't see beyond 10 feet" thing.
As opposed to eval, I love the darkness and would still love to see it more often during the year than just at Halloween.
I am, however, seeing the zombie spawn issue others have mentioned here. It may just be bad luck, but I've experienced quite a few times this year where I'm just waiting around for zombies and nothing happens. This has happened in every zombie district I've tried, though it seemed to happen less in Mannsdale than it did in Furihata. Gracey, Mannsen and Ikebukuro were the worst though. Maybe it's tied to area population as well, sort of like how the complete corrupted are supposed to work. Mannsdale is very popular for hunting, so you get lots of zombies. Furi is semi popular, so you get a medium amount. Gracey is a wasteland, so you get very few or at least a lower chance? *shrug*
IT'S LIKE I'M PLAYING SPORE WITH NO EYES
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I have had the oposite problem to most in cammon and mansdale...I cant do ANYTHING there without being attacked repeatedly.
I was fighting nonstop for almost an hour in one spot before the spawns finaly stoped for about 5 mins.I know i could have jumped away but where is the fun in that eh?

Just increase your lightpool radius?
Anyone else noticed if you have a sim by a lantern the sim gets a spawn too?
you are then left with a box that cant be searched that after a few spawns of it really gets in the way due to their very long fade time.
Personaly i find area hax of most use buta few people i have fought with have used sims and this has gotten anoying pretty quick

No... It doesn't... You should always get a spawn.

I've noticed this too, but I think I know the solution.
I think the zombies and the JoL spawns are on the same timer. So, if you have Zombies spawn on you in Camon or the like and leave before clearing them, you won't get any JoL spawns until those zombies despawn.

Nope, used the pumpkin last night with zombie spawns on us in Mannsdale and it worked (became kinda laggy too lol).
