Author's note

Creaking Crypt font by Sinister Fonts is a free dripping horror display font. Chunky strokes congeal into tar-like drips, with ragged edges and speckled, inky textures that feel pulled from a damp basement wall. The letters stagger with an uneven rhythm that screams tension, giving you immediate atmosphere without extra effects.

Using Creaking Crypt, your titles hit like a jump scare—loud, sticky, and unmistakable. It shines on Halloween posters, haunted house flyers, B‑movie title cards, survival‑horror game logos, escape room signage, and eerie YouTube thumbnails. Set this free font large with slightly looser tracking, and pair it with a clean condensed sans‑serif to keep the gore legible.
