Halloween Window Silhouettes
Turn your house into a haunted house with my freehanded downloads. I made these for a “less scary” Halloween haunted house during my neighborhood trick or treat.
A fun tidbit: the set designers for “Goosebumps” asked if they could use these for their movie set design. I never heard back from them…so if you spot them in the movie let me know! These Halloween window silhouettes were drawn by me on a whim when I had a Halloween party one year. We’ve always been that crazy family that goes a bit overboard for Halloween, so be sure to visit this link for more inexpensive Halloween decorating ideas.
How to Enlarge:
- Tile printing is the method I use to enlarge images for my larger art projects. If you’re not familiar with it, it can be a tedious and frustration process, which I have outlined here (tile printing right on your own computer)..
- Send to a Local Print Shop: Send these PDFs to your local Fedex/Kinkos (or bring them in on a thumb drive) and have them print them in the size that fit your windows. I folded mine up and reused them year-after-year.
We put these on our windows every year for trick or treat…the neighborhood kids loved it!

Could you please share how you got all your windows to be lit in the same glowing colors?
Patty says
I believe colored tissue paper is put on top of the silhouettes. I really dont know if thats correct but, thats what it looks like to me ☺💀
Jeanette says
Yes, tissue paper on the windows behind the silhouettes. But for the open foyer I put a green light in a few lamps for a similar effect.
Jeanette says
Hi Kimberly. We used tissue paper on some windows, but then I put green lights in some lamps in our open foyer which made it much easier. The tissue paper was nice because it hid any background movement in the house. Best of luck with your decorating!

One year a daughter and I spent hours following a complicated Martha Stewart tutorial for window vignettes, this would have saved us lots of time!

I’ll have to check that tutorial out! Freehanding was the easiest of all, but if I do this project over again I’d definitely use a projector.
