Halloween Wallpapers
Original Halloween wallpapers, cute and spooky in equal measure. Every design is free and comes in a phone size and a desktop size.
Updated July 2026
Pumpkin Patch
Rows of carved pumpkins glowing through low fog under a full moon. The classic October picture, warm rather than grim.
Ghost Friends
Four round ghosts grinning across a starry lavender sky. Halloween with no scare in it, safe for a kid tablet.
Haunted House
A black house on a hill against an enormous orange moon. The most dramatic design here and the most fun on a desktop.
Black Cats
Two black cats keeping watch by candlelight. Purple, warm and only mildly spooky, with the middle left open.
Bats and Moon
Almost nothing but black sky, one moon and a few bats. Minimal, icon-friendly and the kindest to an OLED battery.
Most Halloween wallpapers pick a side, cute or genuinely creepy. This gallery keeps both, because a phone in October should be fun and a desktop can afford to be dramatic. Inside: a foggy patch of carved pumpkins glowing under a full moon, four grinning ghosts on a starry lavender sky, a black haunted house against an enormous orange moon, two black cats keeping watch by candlelight, a near-empty night sky with one moon and a scatter of bats, and a bright orange pattern of candy corn and wrapped sweets.
How scary is this gallery, really?
Not very, and that is deliberate. Ghost Friends and Candy Pattern are made to be handed to a child without a second thought: round faces, big smiles, no lurking. Pumpkin Patch and Black Cats sit in the middle, glowing and warm rather than grim. Haunted House is the only design with any menace in it, and it is Halloween-postcard menace, a silhouette on a moon, not horror.
Bats and Moon deserves its own note. It is almost entirely black, so it leaves the most room for app icons of anything here, and it is the only one that will save any battery on an OLED phone. When the pumpkins come down, the fall wallpapers carry the same season into November, and the dark gallery keeps the night mood going all year.
Frequently asked questions
What size are the Halloween wallpapers?
Each design comes as two files: phone at 1024 x 1536 pixels, a 2:3 portrait JPG, and desktop at 1536 x 1024, a 3:2 landscape JPG. Phones today are nearer 9:19.5, so the system enlarges the image a little and crops the top and bottom edges. The moons, pumpkins and cats all sit well inside the frame.
Are these safe for a child's tablet?
Ghost Friends and Candy Pattern are, without question. Black Cats and Pumpkin Patch are friendly too: everything glows, nothing hides. Haunted House is the darkest of the six and even that is a black silhouette against a bright moon, closer to a decoration on a front door than to anything frightening.
Can I print one on party invitations?
No. These are free for your own screens, on as many personal devices as you own, but printing them, putting them on products or using them commercially is not allowed, and neither is re-uploading the files anywhere else. The licensing policy lists exactly what you can and cannot do, in plain language.
