15 Free Halloween Fonts

Well now, the Fall holidays will be here before you know it! Which means that Halloween is not too far off. Today we have put together some of the creepiest Halloween fonts around, we think they are frightfully good! These free fonts, and vintage typography, would work really well on handmade retro apothecary labels, Halloween party invitations to ghoulish parties, greeting cards, flyers, book covers, t-shirts, caps, badges, product designs, social media posts… as well as menus for frightening feasts, or any other graphic design project that you can think of! Some of these spooky Halloween fonts remind me of the kind that you would see on movie posters for a retro horror movie. Quite frightening!

Free Halloween Fonts List

1. A Charming Font by Gem Fonts This one is a thin handwritten style font that looks like very old handwriting. I can’t help but think of Sleepy Hollow when I look at this one.

2. Old Press by Galdino Otten Old Press has block type, stenciled looking letters that are heavily distressed.

3. Valium by Divide by Zero I don’t know why they call this one Valium because this one gives me anxiety just looking at it! Haha. It’s quite an interesting looking one.

4. Whitechapel BB by Nate Piekos This next one is another old world looking script font.

5. Parseltongue by Carpe Saponem I don’t know which is scarier, the name of this one, or the actual type!

6. Lemonade by Rachel Lauren Adams Another distressed block letter style, although it’s a bit more delicate than the other one.

*A note about downloading, installing & using these halloween-themed fonts:  There are a lot of sites out there that offer free fonts. Some are set up mostly to display ads, and others take you to suspicious files & links. Even some legitimate sites run confusing ads that feature images that say “download”, when it’s for another product. While we don’t recommend one free font website over another, we have tried to link to the more straightforward sites to make finding the font easier for you. If you click on anything that looks like an application or .exe file, stop, it’s not what you want, and is probably malware. Don’t forget to follow the site’s specific directions to download and install the font. If you are a crafter and will be selling your work, please be sure to read any files or information that comes with the font. Some opentype fonts have restrictions on the commercial use of a font for mass production quantities and on the sharing / redistribution of the font file itself.
