Tips for horror lettering
- 01
Prefer short display lines
These faces shine on posters, thumbnails, and titles—not long body paragraphs.
- 02
Pair with a simple sans
Use a scary display face for the hero line, then a neutral sans for cast lists, dates, and fine print.
- 03
Keep OFL files
If you redistribute the pack, include the OFL text files from ScaryFonts.zip.
- 04
Do not sell the fonts alone
OFL allows project use; selling the font files as a standalone product is not allowed.
Great for
Halloween posters and invites
Short scare headlines for parties, promotions, and seasonal graphics.
Horror film title mockups
Quick trailer cards, thumbnail type, and horror movie font experiments.
Album covers and merch drafts
Metal and drip lettering for personal branding mockups under OFL terms.
