Halloween Name Generators

Spooky names for Halloween: vampires, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, witches and demons, for costumes, parties, haunted houses and stories.

A good Halloween name tells you what kind of scary you're in for. A vampire wants an old title and a family name with history behind it. A ghost is usually named for the colour it wears or the place it haunts, like the Grey Ladies of English ghost stories. A zombie can be grim or downright silly, and a werewolf name often means "wolf" in an old language.

The Witch, Black Cat and Haunted House name generators cover costumes, pets and attractions. Use any of these for a costume character, a haunted house at the school fair, a one-shot for your gaming group or a spooky short story. For the party itself, the Event Name Generator has party names, and the Villain and Demon generators cover anything with horns or a cape.

For witches' gatherings there's the Coven and Spell name generators. For things that lurk, try Monster, Skeleton, Mummy and Scarecrow. And if you're writing the story yourself, the Horror Movie Title Generator will give it a name.
