Halloween Photo Booth Overlays and Templates
Overlays and templates are an easy way to set the mood. With Snappic’s template designer, you can upload your own Halloween artwork to still photos, GIFs, or bursts.
Here are some tips on how you can create or get custom templates for your Halloween themed event:
- Use pre-made themed Event Templates, which include overlays, microsite & email graphics, animated backgrounds, and custom app buttons.
- Use our template builder to add text, images, stickers, change border colors, and arrange layers to fit your theme.
- Collaborate with a design partner specializing in photo booth graphics.
- Create one in Canva or hire a graphic designer for custom graphics.
⚠️ Pro tip: choose a dark and moody palette with purples, blacks, and oranges. These details create a cohesive theme and ensure your booth ranks in searches for Halloween photo booth overlay templates.
Digital Halloween Photo Booth Props
Digital props replace bulky boxes of hats and masks while giving unlimited creative options. Snappic’s built-in prop library lets guests swipe through themed hats, fangs, and speech bubbles directly on the screen.
Ideas for Halloween digital props:
- Witch hats, vampire teeth, ghost masks
- “Trick or Treat” captions
- Upload your own branded props to increase visibility in searches for digital Halloween photo booth props

Halloween Attract Screens and Photo Booth Buttons
The guest experience begins before the first photo is taken. With Snappic, upload custom attract screens featuring animations or videos of haunted houses, pumpkin fields, or graveyards. Add a glowing "Tap to Start" message for instant engagement.
Customizable experience buttons:
- Design in Canva or Photoshop with eerie icons like skulls, bubbling cauldrons, or ghosts
- Add animation effects such as bats appearing when tapped
- Use Snappic’s themed templates for pre-made custom buttons
- Alternatively, you can reach out to our partners who specialise in graphic design to create custom graphics for your clients.
