The Best Halloween iPhone Apps

Fright night is almost upon us once again, so here’s our round up of the best halloween themed iPhone apps we’ve been playing with recently.

This year’s batch includes a lot of entertaining apps, some for adults and others perfect for the kids. Don’t have a costume idea yet? We found an app that will suggest some great costumes for you. We also have some terrific iPhone games to tell you about and a few other spooky apps that will help set the mood for your Halloween this year. Read on to learn more about our favorite apps for tricks and treats.

 

iDracula – Undead Awakening – $ 0.99

iDracula is a top down shooter game that pits you against waves of Dracula’s undead army that attack you from all sides. As you move in any direction the map scrolls with you. The levels are nicely designed and appropriately creepy.

As you progress through the levels you encounter various types of enemies until you finally face Dracula himself. You also get to use a variety of weapons from shotguns to flamethrowers. The graphics are slick, the sound is great, and the controls are very intuitive. This is a very fun game that you can jump in a play for a short time, or for an hour.

 

Halloween Costume Generator – $1.99

Can’t think of a good Halloween costume this year? No problem. This app will help you come up with great costume ideas. You simply enter gender, type of party, and your current mood. The app then suggests an appropriate costume for you complete with a sample picture of how you might put it together.

Some of the suggestions we saw are “Drunk Santa” and “American Tourist”. This app also has a nice pipe organ soundtrack to help set the halloween mood and each costume idea is accompanied by a song. The Michael Phelps costume appropriately plays “Smoke on the Water”. It’s a fun app and gives you some creative costume ideas.

 

GhostCam – $0.99

This app takes its cue from Disney’s Haunted Mansion where you see ghosts riding with you in the mirror at the end of the ride. GhostCam is a photo app that overlays a ghostly image on top of the photo you take to make it appear as if there are ghosts around you. You can control the number of ghosts that appear on the images and you can set their transparency.

The effect is actually pretty convincing; the pictures this app produces are definitely eerie making it perfect for pranks. You’ll freak people out after you take their picture and show it to them.

 

Attack of the Zombie Bikini Babes from Outer Space – $0.99

We can’t really say much more about this game than we already have. Read our review if you haven’t already. It’s no secret that we love this game. It has zombies, bikinis, and slingshot, so what’s not to love?

This game plays like a grind house horror flick from the 50’s and 60’s. It comes with 40 levels of bikini clad zombie hordes. If you beat all 40 waves you’ll unlock the game’s survival mode. It’s campy, gory fun, but be forewarned, it’s definitely not for kids.

 

MouthOff – $0.99

This app seems silly at first, but we’ve gotten a ton of mileage out of this one. It comes with a slew of different kinds of mouths that are animated in various ways to move as you speak into the iPhone’s microphone. Select a mouth, hold your iPhone over your real mouth and start talking. It’s actually pretty funny and perfect for parties. Kids love this app and will fight you for your iPhone so they can try out all the mouths. Four new spooky mouths were added just for halloween.

One very creative person has posted a video on how to incorporate Mouthoff into a very cool robot costume. Check out the video, it may give you some new ideas for costumes.

 

Halloween Postage – $0.99

Postage is one of the most popular apps in the App Store and this special Halloween is perfect for fright night. If you aren’t familiar with Postage, it’s an app that lets you create custom postcards with photos from your iPhone. You can snap a photo or select one from your library. You then select the theme you want to use from various Halloween cards. Once your card is set, enter email addresses and send it to your friends and family.

Halloween Postage is a great way to share photos from your Halloween festivities.

 

IMEvil Soundboard – $1.99

This app is a collection of sound bites all spoken in a very creepy voice. Halo fans might recognize the voice as that of actor David Sobolov who provided the voice of the Arbiter from the video game franchise. He was a great choice because his deep voice turns these phrases into dark, spooky sounds that you can use to creep out trick-or-treaters.

It’s also a great app to play pranks on people over the phone, in dark rooms or while you’re out trick or treating with the kids.

 

Goosebumps PhotoShock – $0.99

This is an app version of the old photo stickers that kids love to play with. You can take a picture with this app, or select one from your library. You then decorate the photo with Halloween stickers that can be rotated and resized. The palette of stickers includes spooky eyes, ears, hair, and other various types to turn photos of people into goofy and funny looking monsters.

Your creations can be saved and shared with your friends. We tested this app with a lot of kids and they all had a blast playing with it. It’ll keep the kids entertained for hours.

 

I Spy Spooky Mansion – $0.99

Here’s another fun little app for the kids this halloween. Spooky Mansion is an iPhone version of the incredibly popular I Spy books. You are given clues to items hidden on the pages and you have to scour the tableau to find each one. The iPhone screen is much smaller than the print books so you’ll need to zoom in as you look for the items. Just like the print books, this app will keep kids busy for a long time.
