Forum:Pumprincess the Princess of Ghosts effect while face down?

does Pumprincess the Princess of Ghosts get its effect if it is placed face down and then it is attacked? I have two youtube guys telling me different things. One says it doesnt get its effect because it wasn't destroyed while face up while the other says the effect activates because you have to flip it face up when it is attacked.This is what the card desription says "If this face-up card is destroyed while in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard. While this card is treated as a Continuous Spell Card by this effect, during each player's Standby Phase: Place 1 Pumpkin Counter on this card. All monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK and DEF for each Pumpkin Counter on this card."Pikilla789 (talk • contribs) 23:27, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
