To all Addams Family fans–how incredible are these nails? This true throwback to the movie and TV show is both nostalgic and beautiful with character caricatures and perfect accent nails on the side.

Like many other nails on this list, this is an homage to a halloween classic: the 1996 movie Scream. On one nail is Ghostface’s iconic mask and on the others are perfect blood drips, perhaps representing all his merciless killings. Beautiful and sinister, just like Halloween should be!

Though blood drips are very much in right now, blood spatters are far more realistic. This technique is done by using an old toothbrush or spoolie, dipping it into the nail polish and spraying the fake blood splatter onto a neutral coat of polish. Easy and effective, you’ll look just out of a Halloween crime scene.

The creepier the better! Undoubtedly one of the best parts about Halloween is embracing our spooky interests in movies and media. So why not stamp that onto your nails? The combination of demonic nun faces, religious symbols and blood splatters will really give you some goosebumps.

Though this may not be as creepy as the others in this list, voodoo dolls are surely an eerie premise. The sтιтches in this look are incredibly precise and the red heart brings it all together.

A true celebration of Halloween’s greatest tradition: trick-or-treating!

Talk about creepy! This fairly simple application on white pointy nails packs a big punch. Add as a finishing touch for a vampire costume. Pro tip: Mix in a little black polish at the nail beds and the ends of the drips for more dimension.
