Halloween Pictures

If you want your Halloween pictures shipped right to your door, Mixbook does amazing quality prints for 15 cents each which is hard to beat or you can do same-day pickup at Walmart for 9 cents per print. So for seven years worth of Halloween pictures, it cost me just over a buck.

Another fun way to display Halloween pictures for your kids and family is across a fireplace mantel. I love putting together scrapbook albums for my kids, but a lot of times our pictures in those books get put away and not looked at often. Pulling out holiday pictures and using them as decor is such a fun way to enjoy them every year.


A week earlier, costumed dogs to the street for the annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. Check out those photos, and see a second set of pictures from the 2023 Village Halloween Parade parade HERE


Several people will be dressing up and going door to door looking for tricks or treats in their Halloween costumes tonight. So send us your spooky, creepy, or even cute pictures of you in your costume!




The first thing we did was take 376 pictures.



Well, lets back up. I told my kids what I wanted to do. Surprisingly, they were all on board! Even the 4 year old! Yay!

So we dressed them up. I picked church clothes that looked the most old-timey. And the boys wore some bow ties that I hot glued together. The boys had vests...the girl had an old school dress and dark gray tights. Pretty plain.



Then we found some accessories. Old keys, a vintage pocketwatch and a lacy parasol. 



Then we trekked around our neighborhood...with me in a hoodie and yoga pants...looking for great picturesque places...and the little cemetery a mile across the road from us. (yes, we walked...we are a 1 car household)



Then I would take pictures with my kids in them...then they would come stand by me and I would take a few of just the background.

The best part about this photoshoot is that I didn't need all my kids to smile at the same time! :) I just told them to look kind of sad...and we got some great shots!


I am a photoshop girl. I've used it since high school...I think that's when the cavemen first invented photoshop for pc's. Anyways.

I decided to try out pixlr...and I love it!

It's free...so super bonus there! And it navigates basically the same as photoshop, so it didn't take me long to figure things out!

So, try it!



I loaded in 2 pictures. One with my children in it...and one of the plain background!






The edits here are super simple! But that's perfect, anyone can do it!



Here's what I did. 



Open up both pictures in pixlr.



Then copy the picture with the people and paste it right over the top of the plain background picture.



You have 2 layers now. Then on the top layer (the one with the people) select that tiny carrot: Toggle Layer Settings (see picture)

It will bring up the OPACITY bar. This is the fun part. Just use the slider to make the people appear ghost-like!

Every picture is different. Some I took the opacity to 60% some only 73%...



Then you want to look at the layers and make sure they line up as good as they can.

Not always super perfect, but it gives it a vintage double exposed kind of feel! 



Then I Desaturated the images...

You can also do sepia tones or old photo effects.






And if you're me, you will over-do it! After all, we took over 300 pictures!



We altered tons of pictures! We had them printed in 1 hour at Walmart, made cards for family and friends and wall decor for the entry way!



It helps if you have some ornate vintage frames...kind of spooky!



I realize this would be very disturbing if any of my children ever die...but for now, it's a great Halloween addition!



Thanks for viewing! Let me know what you think...as long as it's nice! ;)

And please vote for me if you liked it! :)


Thanks for the nice comment! :) I've used Elements before too...with no success! Weird, seeing that I feel really competent with photoshop 7...and pixlr translates pretty similarly. Biggest thing is how much time you have to spend learning it! Hope you try it out, this tutorial is pretty basic, just takes time taking pictures! :) Thanks again! 




Thanks so much! Yes, I did some double exposure stuff in my photography class in high school...I am thankful for editing software...but you need GOOD pictures to start! :) Thanks for your kind comment!


Glad you like it--and yay for another nearly Halloween baby! It's a simple technique...but my art teacher always said "crap in, crap out!"...so take some good pictures and you will get a good finished product! Thanks again! :)


Doodlecraft! Very cool!. 



But I am incredibly dense. I brought up both pictures OK. I tried to copy one to paste over the other and got strange boxes appearing. So exactly how do you do that? I could not rt click to do it, nor use the copy under the edit tab. I also could only get the layer(s) on the right side to toggle between the pictures. I'm goofing something real simple, I think. Any help? Thanks. Peter


Pumpkin carving is a favorite tradition around Halloween, so don't miss the opportunity to take photos of the carved pumpkins all lit up. Set your camera on a tripod to prevent camera shake and get sharp images of the eerie glow from the pumpkins in the night. Most of all, take time to enjoy the night. The photos you capture of friends and family are timeless. So, try some of these Halloween photo tips and no doubt your Halloween pictures will turn out spooktacular this year!


I work at a haunted halloween park in October as their media guy. Basically I get free reign to get creative and capture what I see fit- with the one rule to 'show the park, without totally showing it" Make sense? These are some of the more 'staged' shots that I got to take my time with and not rush through because I was in a haunt while it was open.


Practice plotting ordered pairs with these fun Halloween Math coordinate graphing mystery pictures! Use them throughout the whole month of October and add them to your bulletin board for a spooky display. This activity is easy to differentiate by choosing either the first quadrant (positive whole numbers) or the four quadrant (positive and negative whole numbers) worksheet. All points are represented by whole numbers, there are no fractions or decimals. This activity is perfect for math centers, early finishers or homework.


For the framed pictures 20,000 leagues under the sea, Mr. Toads wild ride and the sleepy hallow, are they only available staring at 7pm or can we get those starting at 4pm? Thanks for this article it has been very helpful.
