Author's note

Halloween Bats font by Melle Derieppe Claude is a free decorative Halloween typeface. Each swollen, wobbly letter looks hand-drawn in inky black, with tiny silhouetted bats fluttering inside the strokes, giving a fun mix of spooky and goofy. The loose outlines feel like puffed-up slime or fog, adding a lighthearted, homemade horror vibe instead of pure scare.

Using Halloween Bats instantly turns any line of text into a Halloween title treatment, so it shines on party invitations, posters, trick-or-treat flyers, kids’ crafts, classroom decor, and social media graphics. This free font works best big, where the little bats stay clear; pair it with a clean sans serif for body text to keep everything readable while the headlines do the haunting.
