By

If you have been hunting around for some Halloween design ideas and inspiration, we have created a collection of animated scenes to help you out.

Some of them may give you the chills, but most will make you chuckle. With this Haloween-themed collection, we promise you plenty of coding tricks and treats!



Little Witch

There are so many tiny elements that it is difficult to take your eyes off this animated Halloween scene. You can see a witch preparing a potion, a cat is enjoying the night sky, a bottle is leaking, and a spider is slowly crawling. Pay attention to the window, since something white and ghoulish is coming. This is a real Halloween coding masterpiece!

Rube Goldberg’s Monster

Or should I say, “It’s alive!”

This Halloween pen has been inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. You can see a machine injecting life into one of the most iconic monsters in cinema history. The animation is short yet absorbing. Fantastic work!

Halloween

You can see a semi-realistic 3D scene that features an animated environment. Created using Blender 3D, Karim Maaloul, who is well-known for his outstanding 3D characters, has successfully created an intricate sense of depth. What’s more, it is an interactive scene. Move your cursor and disturb the mysterious forces inside this composition.

Markus Magnusson’s Halloween Smashdown

What separates this scene from the others is the metamorphosis that lies in its heart. While all of the examples in this collection have animated sections, here you can see a real transformation from human to wolf. Every detail of this animation is worth your attention. The walking pumpkin is hilarious.

Conclusion

Halloween is coming. Therefore, it is time to stock up on candy, carve pumpkins, and get dressed up. If you have a website, don’t forget to take care of it as well. Adapt one of the above examples and get your UI into the Halloween spirit. Some of these animated Halloween scenes may be too much for a corporate website; however, Shy Ghost will undoubtedly work on any type of website.
