Halloween is my favorite holiday. Everyone can dress up like someone else, and then there’s the candy, of course. It’s also my favorite holiday as a designer. Halloween designs are expected to be wild, with type, colors, themes, and images so far off the beaten path that creating materials for the holiday is at least as fun as snarfing candy corn.
Here’s a goodie bag of free Halloween-themed resources for your design tricks!
300+ Halloween Fonts
Over on the Designorati Web site, I’ve compiled my annual catalog of free Halloween-, horror-, and goth-themed fonts, including dozens of symbol typefaces loaded with dingbats of pumpkins, witches, skulls, ghosts, headstones, moons, spiders, bats, cats, spooky houses, and much, much more. There are more than 300 Halloween fonts available for download individually or in one giant collection.
