A Halloween costume doesn’t have to be elaborate. Wear a low-key Halloween shirt instead of dealing with wigs, makeup, and props. Any horror themed clothing or cute creatures can still fit the holiday without taking time—and money—to coordinate a costume. And it’s not difficult to customize Halloween designs for shirts, which can range from scary to cute to funny. Whether you’re chilling at the pumpkin patch, running through a haunted house, or watching horror movies, your custom Halloween t shirt will let you stay comfy while sticking to the spooky theme.
How to Create Your Own Shirt
Pick a Theme
Since Halloween is celebrated by so many people, there are several different styles you can lean into. Some people prefer frightening, spine-chilling vibes in October. Though most of the iconic slashers, like Ghostface and Freddy Krueger, are trademarked characters, that doesn’t mean you can’t create your own scary Halloween shirts. Design a shirt with bloody handprints on white fabric for a simple yet unnerving costume. Other spine-chilling designs include evil pumpkins, creepy coffins, and spooky graveyards. If you want to find some high-quality images, check out our guide to finding Halloween images free of copyright. Pro-tip: get started with some ghost and occult artwork for your horror t-shirts.
Many of the classic Halloween monsters, such as vampires, witches, bats, ghosts, and skeletons, can appear creepy or cute depending on the art style. Cute Halloween shirts can feature cartoons or illustrated versions of these creatures. Make a cute black cat shirt to feature some furry friends. For a basic fall shirt, you can’t go wrong with a pumpkin spice latte (PSL), a trendy cowboy pumpkin, or dancing skeletons. Alternatively, you can play with traditional Halloween locations and images. A Welcome to Salem shirt, for example, can feature cute witches, broomsticks, and witch hats. Or get some of the monsters, like werewolves, wizards, and ghouls, dancing the monster mash.
Another option is to make funny Halloween shirts. Jokes, puns, and sarcastic quips can do all the heavy lifting of a costume. A basic Halloween shirt can say, “This is my Halloween Costume.” Other funny Halloween shirt designs include “I Can Drive Stick” with a witch’s broomstick, “Let’s Get Smashed” with a funny pumpkin, and “Golden Ghouls” with classic monsters. Any of these costume shirts will get a laugh at your costume party.
Pick a Shirt
With your design prepared, it’s time to choose the type of T-shirt to print it on. GotPrint offers V-neck and crewneck shirts in eight different colors. Stay on theme with a red or black Halloween shirt; you can also print on a white, grey, or blue shirt. You can print your design on the front or the back of your custom t shirt. At GotPrint, we print t-shirts on 100% cotton fabric that is soft and stretchable. Or, if you want to stay warm on a cold fall evening, print your design on a crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie. Our adult sizes range from small to 3XL; our kids Halloween shirts come in sizes ranging from extra small to extra large, and the toddler sizes include 2T, 3T, and 4T.
