Creepy font generator

Creepy lettering is the horror poster’s: letters that drip, splinter, sprout thorns or look clawed, made for Halloween and B-movie titles.

Halloween invitations and signs, haunted house trails, horror game titles and costume party flyers.

All four set capitals only, so lower case typed in them still comes out in capitals. Nosifer drips from every letter and is by far the widest; Eater grows thorns and is the lightest; Butcherman looks hacked out; Creepster is the haunted-house classic. Nosifer, Eater and Butcherman are all by Typomondo.

Dripping letters need room underneath: leave space below a Nosifer heading, or the drips run into the next line.

Long, fat drips cut well in vinyl; Eater’s thin thorns snap off when weeded unless the letters are large.

For a black Halloween sign, set Design, Page Color to black and the PNG in a bright colour. Word prints page colour only if you tick Print background colors and images under File, Options, Display.

The steps for any style, the PNG and the SVG into each app, what the licences allow and what happens to your words, are on the font generator.
