If you love Halloween and want to show off your spirit all month long, you’ll want to check out some cool Halloween-themed car customization ideas.
Dressing your vehicle up for a trunk or treat is a whole lot different than giving your car a Halloween costume to wear throughout the month of October. If you’re one of the people who loves to take this holiday seriously and dress up your vehicle with spooky decorations, flashy lights, and scary sounds, we’ve got some cool ideas for you. Of course, you can also participate in the trunk or treat festivities at your local organization or church.
Jack-O-Lantern
The Jack-o-Lantern is a traditional Halloween item and if you have an orange car you can easily change the look of your vehicle with some simple black, jagged car decals that will give the front facia the look of the carved pumpkin’s face. To truly get into the spirit of this costume, create a stem using a suction cup or other car decal and a stick adorned with green vines and leaves.
Ghostbusters Car
Ecto-1 is an iconic movie car from the Ghostbusters franchise, giving you a great look that could turn your white car into something special. You don’t have to drive a hearse for people in your area to get the idea, but if you have a large, old station wagon, that would be the perfect car for the transformation. This car could be a hit as one of the best Halloween-themed car creations that will give your friends and neighbors a cool car to look at and admire during the month of October.
Spider Heaven
Your car can quickly become a cool spider-themed ride when you affix a giant black spider on the roof and spread some pulled cotton that’s been stretched across to look like a spider’s web. You could do this with car window paint, decals, or with actual cotton. If you choose to make this car as realistic as possible, it might be much better to do it for a trunk or treat event, but the decals might keep your ride drivable during the month while showing off your Halloween spirit.
Star Wars Droid
Some of the Star Wars droids are nothing more than dressed-up garbage cans with a little imagination. You can do the same to your car with some cut-out decals that can be attached to different areas of your ride. This is a great way to have a Halloween-themed car wearing a costume and keep your car drivable during the month. Choose the BB-8 droid or R2-D2 and get your car in the spirit of the season, which makes it easy for you and your friends to enjoy the spooky season.
Accident Car
If you truly want to get into the spirit of the spookiness of your car and the season, you’ll want to consider this costume. By using some washable red paint or car writing soap, you can make it look like your car was in a scary accident and has blood all over it. You could go a few steps further and make it look like your car has teeth and might have eaten a person instead of simply running them over. Create this rogue car and let it show off your spirit.
Spider
Turn your car into a spider and have one of the best Halloween-themed car displays in your area. If you’re doing this for a trunk or treat, you can attach some pool noodles under the wheels to create the legs, but if you want to be able to drive the car with the spider costume, you’ll need to find other ways to attach legs to your car to keep them from blowing off. This is a great costume that puts your car in the spirit of the season while also being simple and easy to create.
Skelton Rising
Another cool way to dress up your vehicle for Halloween is to create a graveyard in the back of your pickup truck with skeletons rising from the graves. This could be a tricky car costume to pull off and might be better for a trunk or treat, but if you attach items with sturdy hardware, you might be able to drive around with a truck filled with graves and rising skeletons to celebrate the season.
Which of these Halloween-themed car costumes will you put together and create for your ride? These ideas are a great way to get in the spirit of the season.
