It's the spookiest time of year, and we're hear to help you get into the Halloween spirit! We sifted through our nibs, markers, papers, and tools to find the most creepy, eerie, ominous products for your Halloween calligraphy, painting, illustration and more.

This limited edition FINETEC set includes six of our favorite spooky colors! Black Mica is dark and on the matte side, making it great for outlines, while Black Pearl is a great way to add sparkly black accents to your work. Indian Summer and Golden Orange give you the perfect combo for creating pumpkins, while Vibrant Green and Vibrant Purple are great for slime, witch's hats, cauldron brews, and monsters.

We used Tombow's orange set of six blendable colors for this vital Halloween phrase! This great set gives you a variety of Dual Brushes, from a true pumpkin orange to a pale pastel shade. Perfect for candy corn, broomsticks, full moons, and more.

This shade of Pearl Ex is so perfect for Halloween, it even has pumpkin in the name! These inert pigments adhere to polymer clay, encaustics, paper, shrink plastic, leather, glass, canvas, and wood. Mixed with water and gum arabic, Pearl Ex makes a gorgeous pearlescent calligraphy ink. Try Pearl Ex in Pumpkin Orange for all your calligraphy and mixed media Halloween projects!

This pen-and-nib combo is a must have for 2021's chilling calligraphy season. We paired the lovely Blue Pumpkin nib with @luis.creation's Moblique in mysterious Moonlight Shadow. What a positively monstrous combination! ?

Wanna add an eerie flair to your collages and bookbinding this October? Try Skeleton Leaf! These gorgeous accessories are made from real leaves that have been bleached, dried, dyed and rubbed to reveal a delicate network of veins. They're to add an uncanny vibe to any creative project.

Black and orange are the trademark colors of the Halloween season, and we're lucky that one of our favorite brands of ink has options in both shades. Moon Palace sumi ink is excellent for both broad edge and pointed pen work, giving wonderful hairlines and super swells. Try a bottle in black and a bottle in vermillion for some truly supernatural calligraphy.

Marvy Calligraphy pens are a great choice for writing witches brews recipes, addressing invitations to haunted dinners, and sprucing up your "Keep Out" signs! Each contains acid-free, water-based, non toxic ink, and they're available in a variety of colors and sizes. We used a black 5.0mm pen to calligraph this Halloween saying. We couldn't resist adding a little glitter with an orange Sparkle Pop, too ?.

These specialty calligraphy tools are warty, weird, and absolutely frightening! Mitchell Witch pens are great introduction to the art of broad-edge calligraphy. Forgiving and easy-to-use, these dip pens have a distinct folded metal nib that allows for surprising flexibility and is capable of solid and split-line writing. Available in 5 sizes.

We hope your Halloween is full of creepy costumes, frightening food, and ghostly fun. We used Dr. PH Martin's Bleedproof White for this creepy crawly message.
