The Best Halloween Emojis
Is there a time of year that is better represented using emojis than Halloween?
Saving you the time of scrolling through your emoji keyboard to find the best spooky emojis, I hereby present the best emojis for Halloween:
😨 😰 😱 🤡 😈 👿 👹 👺 💀 ☠️ 👻 👽 👾 🤖 🧙 🧚 🧛 🧜 🧝 🧞 🧟 🕴 💚 🖤 🦄 🦇 🦉 🕷 🕸 🥀 🍫 🍬 🍭 🏚 🌃 🛸 🌕 🌚 🌩 ⚡️ 🎃 🔮 🎭 🕯 🗡 ⛓ ⚰️ ⚱️
Some are the typical fare you expect at Halloween — a spider, ghost, jack-o-lantern), and others make - particularly from the fantasy set released in 2017 - make great costumes (zombie, vampire, clown).
As always, keep in mind each emoji does look different across various platforms. The gap isn't as wide as it once was, but the clown and zombie in particular do have quite a range in their designs.
