These Halloween fonts are terrifying to look at without the frightening prices
Halloween is a busy time of the month for most designers. We all strive to create seasonal content and merch to grow our following and sales. If you are like me, you’ve now waited until the last minute to design that Halloween poster and are scrambling to find a creepy typeface. Don’t worry, here are 8 free fonts that will make your scary designs pop
Schlop
Schlop by Raymond Larabie is a classic gooey font reminiscent of the Goosebumps titles, perfect for slimy scenes or toxic sludge themes. This could also work as a bloody font.
Gypsy Curse
Gypsy Curse by Sinister Fonts is a highly stylized font that resembles the font used on the Harry Potter posters combined with a rougher texture and a creepy, insect-like descender.
Ghastly Panic
Ghastly Panic by Sinister Fonts is a scratch on the wall style font. The heavy metal of Halloween fonts. It has thin and irregular strokes. The stems and descenders have been elongated to create the perfect carved-in effect.
A Charming Font
A Charming Font by GemFonts is the perfect throwback. Cultured Millennials will recognize this font from their favorite witchy TV show, Charmed. This typeface is reminiscent of a magical and expensive spell book. Dramatic strokes and sharp stems give this font the perfect balance between classy and deadly.
Help Me
Help Me by GGBotNet is a pen-scratch style typeface. It is characterized by the absence of curves. These are instead replaced with straight angles which give the font a frenetic feel as if it has been scribbled under some sort of great stress. Perfect for that possessed feel.
Haedus
Haedus by GGBotNet is a more subtly terrifying typeface. In the spirit of films like Insidious this font has a more vintage handmade feel. Reminiscent of friendly ghosts under sheets; this typeface is perfect for projects that require a little more finesse or have a more organic feel.
Sketch Bones
Sketch Bones by Character is a full out illustrated typeface. When you need a touch of whimsy for your scary project, this is the perfect typeface. Friendly but still on the horror spectrum, this font is perfect for child-friendly or comedic designs.
Zombie Holocaust
Zombie Holocaust by Sinister Fonts has the perfect balance of vampire and Tim Burton. Long, extended stems and dramatic descenders are combined with delightfully twisted spirals to create this scary typeface.
