1. Why Choose Horror Coloring Pages?

Actually, you might be thinking, “Why the hell would I want to color anything that’s scary?” I used to think that only cute animals and sweet patterns deserved coloring. But I learned that colouring creepy art is so much fun and also makes you feel really calm! You can think of it as a harmless way to play with scary ideas that would be more at home in horror films.

For one, they’re an enjoyable vehicle to showcase terrific Halloween and gothic artwork. Fun details, challenging lines and patterns that are a pleasure to color often appear on these pages.

You are the artist and you decide how the picture should feel. Will that haunted house be a dark and depressing walled castle? Or will you hold it up to the moonlight and surprisingly, see colors in it? It’s all up to you.

Second, it’s soothing to color these unsettling images. That might sound silly, but tracing the lines of a scary picture can provide your mind with a break from concerns. It’s a way to make your brain melt and enjoy something different from the usual.

And one more thing that makes these sheets a great Halloween activity! But if you’re going to host a party, or if you just want to get into the spirit of Halloween. Our Halloween designs are the way to do it. They’re an inexpensive and quick way to make your own decorations, or to hold a fun activity on a stormy night.

3. Tips for Coloring Horror Illustrations

There are some differences between coloring a spooky picture and coloring a sunny day. Here are some easy tips to make your art look great.

Choosing Dark Colors

Dark colors are perfect for a classic style scary picture. Consider using blacks, dark reds, purples and grays. Pairing a bright color with a dark background, such as a bright red on a black background, can really make your image stand out.

Adding Glowing Effects

Is there a monster’s eyes or a ghost’s body you’d like to glow? Here’s an easy trick. Leave the part you want to glow white, or fill it with a very light yellow or green.

Then, darkly color in the section immediately surrounding it. This will give the illusion of it glowing.

Mixing Colors for Spooky Buildings

To age the stone walls of a spooky castle, mix up a variety of shades of gray and brown. You can use white and light gray to create a fog-filled graveyard. Colored pencils are good for your horror pages.

How Bright Colors Cheer Up Cute Horror

Whatever you do, don’t be shy when coloring your kawaii horror coloring pages! And a light pink ghost or a monster with bright green stripes can be totally cool. It’s this combination of darling colors and creepy characters that makes this style so much fun.

4. DIY Ideas with Horror Coloring Pages

The fun doesn’t have to stop when the colouring is done! A completed coloring page is an ideal material for all types of creepy craft projects.

Halloween Decorations

This is what these pages are for! Color in some of your favorite haunted scenes, or monsters and ghosts, and then cut them out. You can tape them to windows, string them together to create a spooky banner or use them otherwise as decor for a Halloween party.

Wall Art or Spooky Gifts

Some good gothic artwork is nothing less than a masterpiece to find a spot as the center of interest. It’s a fun thing to have for the room, if horror’s your thing. You could also put a completed picture in a frame and give it to a friend who has a thing for spooky stuff.

Scrapbooks or Journals

Sprinkle some spooky into your projects. You can also use your completed horror coloring pages to cover your scrapbooks or diary. They’re great to create special October pages or just to liven up your day with some cool art.
