Kinktober fic #2: Kafka & Himeko + Handcuffs

Characters/Ships: Kafka & Himeko x reader

Warnings: Smut written by a minor, mentions of drinking, mentions of drinking, biting, some masturbation, grinding, some degradation & praise

“When did she have the time to book a dj?”

It came to no surprise that Kafka went out for Halloween. Year after year, she sets up a grand party for the spooky occasion. Different themes for different years of course, and each one never ceases to amaze you.

“It’s Kafka, she has her ways” Himeko slides up beside you, snaking an arm around your waist. You jump slightly in surprise, how was she able to hear you over the blaring music? Himeko was dressed head to toe in a sexy police uniform—an accidental arrangement made by you one night. Himeko took the phrase good cop bad cop to heart and found the perfect criminal costume for you to wear. Kafka was in a similar uniform somewhere around her house.

She had some protest about it, muttering about how she wanted to do something involving spiders. But one look at your pleading faces convinced her otherwise.

Himeko leans into you, “We’ve been waiting for you” she murmurs, tugging at the collar of your garment. “You know, I think the orange really brings out your eyes”.

She pulls you closer to her side and her blunt nails scratch your side gently. You didn’t have the liquid courage to mention how the color brings out her hair instead. She leads you around to the center floor. The drinks continued to pour as the night wears on, eventually finding Kafka making her rounds with different groups.

Your two girlfriends are always…interesting when drunk.

Kafka’s reaction is always a gamble. Sometimes she’s philosophical, sometimes she’s quiet. It really depends on the crowd. And with her eyes on you tonight, she’s especially clingy. There isn’t a moment where she strays too far after finding you and Himeko.

As for Himeko, she’s a little different. Always the one to carry herself with such poise and politeness. So when she gets a little bit tipsy, she starts to relax a little. She’s still calm and collected, but she starts to let loose without the worry of being in control. And little by little, she starts to loose her filter as well. This Himeko loves to whisper dirty sayings into your’s and Kafka’s ears with an almost complete straight face. She’s laughs it off like nothing, but she makes true to her promises every single time.

The two of them end up cornering you against a counter in the kitchen. “You two are just too tempting to resist. What am I to do with you both?” Kafka murmurs.

Himeko tugs against your shirt, “Im sure we can figure that out in the bedroom~”

The 3 of you clumsily make your way up the stairs and into Kafka’s room. Himeko shoves you down into the queen sized mattress as Kafka locks the door. Himeko’s tongue makes its way into your mouth and she holds you in place for a sloppy make-out session. With her teeth biting your lip, her hands pry open the buttons from your top.

“Himeko, let’s arrest her” Kafka teases, twirling a set of silver handcuffs in between her fingers. Himeko laughs when she sees them and forces you to your knees on the bed.

Kafka yanks your hands forward. She circles your wrists with the smooth metal and clasps it tight. She tosses the key behind her after locking them shut and wastes no time to start biting your shoulder.

Himeko’s lipstick smudges into your lips once again. Kafka’s red wine marks immediately follow along your collarbone. Himeko gasps when the two of you part, and then makes her way to your neck. Her lips suck bright red spots into your neck.

Their touching has you in a frenzy. Your thighs rub together impatiently. They don’t seem to pay attention to your movements yet, so there’s no shame in satisfying yourself in the meantime, right? You bring your cuffed hands down to your core. Your fingers subtly slide under your underwear to find some relief. They’re too distracted with your neck and chest to notice the added pressure to your clit.

The pleasure from them both is too much, and an accidental moan catches the attention of Kafka.

“I know you’re desperate, but did we ever give you permission to touch yourself?” Kafka tuts. She reaches down and grips your forearm tightly, pulling it away from its previous position. “Oh you helpless thing, maybe we she cuff your legs apart too. Sluts like you love being tied down. Should I bring out the spreader bar?”

You whine softly at the loss of pressure. Kafka’s grip leaves nail indents in your smooth skin. You protest. Your legs quiver with want.

“Aw, does being mean make you wet?”

“Play nice, Kafka. We teased her for hours, she can’t help being needy.”

“Patience is a virtue, Himeko. She needs to learn it. But I suppose we can make an exception for tonight and save the discipline for another day. Go ahead, grind on my thigh. Yes, just like that.” She remarks, letting you settle on her lap.

Shakily, you slowly drag your clothed cunt back and forth along Kafka’s thighs. Small wet patches start to stain her costume from you motions. Kafka craves more of your touch. You let her guide your cuffed wrists over her head so they circle her neck. Her lips press to yours now that you’re close enough.

Behind you, Himeko’s breasts press against your back. She kisses the back of your neck. “Don’t you want to be a good girl for us? If you follow our directions well, we just might reward you~” Himeko’s slender fingers grasp your hips and rock your body deeper onto Kafka’s thighs.

Kafka’s tongue grazes your top lip. A particular thrust sends you forward and allows her tongue to slip into your mouth. Kafka groans when her tongue meets your own. Her strokes were enough to leave you breathless and more wanton than before.

“Please,” you exhale, “I need your fingers”

“I think you’re perfect like this.” Kafka sighs against your lips. Himeko caresses your soft chest, cupping your breasts in unison and massaging them gently. “I agree with Kafka. I think you’ve earned your reward. You’ve been such a good girl, following our orders so obediently. You deserve to cum like this, and then we can take you any way you want after.” Himeko helps you slide off your underwear before repositioning you back on Kafka’s thighs. Himeko nips gently at your neck before her hands go back to your hips, rocking you with more force.

Your body writhes between the two of them. Himeko’s thrusts are moving your hips perfectly at just the right angle. You let out a moan by Kafka’s ear. She raises a brow, then bounces her leg up to meet your core. Your gasps turn into louder moans until you release all over her thighs.

“I want a turn with her” Himeko pouts, twirling your hair with her finger. Kafka’s gloved fingers run through your hair.

“We have all night, I don’t see why not.”

Hours later, the party has long stopped and the break of the morning sun rises above nearby houses. Kafka and Himeko are curled into your sides, enveloping you in warmth.

“So,” you start, “where’s the key to unlock these cuffs?”

Silence.

FICTOBER DAY 5- Can I Hold Your Hand?

Here is day 4, a bit of cutie dadrry <3 Enjoy!

FICTOBER Prompt list and Masterlist

WC-700+

-------

“Can I hold your hand?” The small voice peeped up at him. Their son in his train conductor costume had been insistent that he was too big to hold his father’s hand, he was a big boy now and he could do trick or treating all by himself. 

Y/N pushed the baby carriage, his little sister still a drooly little baby with a plush pumpkin costume on her body and a tiny hat on her head to keep her warm as the october air chilled up. His wife was dressed up in a poodle skirt and letterman jacket, a little tie around her neck and a bouncy ponytail bobbing as she walked. Harry had chosen function this halloween, wearing jeans and a black leather jacket. His saddle shoes were the only thing he purchased for the getup, his hair slicked back in a 50’s like manner- except that one strand that escaped and curled over his head. Y/N had been adamant he not try and fix it, it apparently did something to her. 

“Yeah? Not too big to hold my hand now, mate?” He teased, placing his hand down for the smaller one to take. Their gait was slow, their son not the fastest with his Thomas the Tank Engine soft cut out around his body. It made him a big more clumsy, too, which is why Harry was glad Y/N had put knee guards and gloves on him.

“No. I’m am big, but I don’t like all the noises.” He tried to maintain, but the spooky music filtering through the neighborhood and sound effects of the motion sensor activated decor making the poor thing jump. Hell, one of those things had even made Harry clutch his chest as he had approached the front door to ring for candy. What was with these things getting more and more accessible to the public? He remembered the only time he used to see these things were in haunted houses he went to in uni. Now it seemed everyone on the block had a jumpscare waiting to strike. Stupid screaming skeleton. 

“It’s okay, baby.” Y/N crooned. “Did you know that on one of our first dates, Daddy took me to see a movie and got so scared he screeched?” It was true, but it was justified. Most of the room had jumped or made a noise too- it just so happened that his had been a bit more loud and high pitched than he would have liked. 

Harry looked at her with narrowed eyes, scoffing as his wife grinned like the little shit she was. Really? “Are you ever going to let me live that down? I told you, it was just a bad jump scare. You jumped too.” He looked towards their son, who was giggling simply because Y/N was. “Mumma’s being silly. It’s not a bad thing to scream either, it’s natural.” 

“But you’re so big and old, Daddy. You can’t get scared.” He giggled, his fingers squeezing on to Harry’s as they approached another pathway to go up to the house. It was decked out in cobwebs and had some cool orange and purple lighting, spooky sound effects filtering through hidden speakers in the bushes. The howl of a wolf sounded, having him step closer to Harry’s leg. “You go with me?”

“What’s this, then hm? Make fun of me for being scared and then asking me to go?” He ruffled the conductor hat on his head. “You’re lucky I love you loads and Mumma is afraid of the spiders in those webs or I’d made you go with her.” It was all in jest, Y/N simply shrugging. How was she supposed to know what spiders were fake or real? It would be a perfect place for one to hide and jump into her hair!

“It’s okay to be afraid of things, baby. Your father is just silly. Even sillier than me.” Her hand came up to squish Harry’s chin, letting her lipstick give a big kiss mark on his cheek, the bright red in the perfect shape of her lips. When she pulled back, there were loud giggles as the mark was revealed. Harry didn’t mind, clearly, blushing slightly as he knew exactly what she had done, but to their son it was apparently the funniest thing in the world. Y/N shot him a playful glare before threatening him with the same.  “Go on, then. Or you’re getting a kiss mark from me too. Grab Mumma a chocolate if there is one.”

Five Animated Moments (+1 book) That Terrified me as a Kid

Happy Halloween! It's one of my favorite holidays, the time where we all relish in all things spooky.

I love horror media! But that wasn't always the case. As a kid, I was easily scared by...damn, probably easier to make a list of what *didn't* creep me out. Even stuff designed specifically for kids tended to scare me beyond what was probably reasonable. And, looking back on it, a lot of those moments come off as innocent or straight-up ridiculous as an adult, but even knowing that, you can still remember the bone-chilling terror it brought you when you were a child who didn't know better.

I enjoy it whenever I see people on the internet make videos or discuss their traumatic childhood shows and movies, so I thought it'd be fun to make a little list of my own! If anything, it can be reassuring to see that we all had a dumb moment or two that our little-kid brains were mortally terrified of, no matter how stupid it might have been. Scenes are in no particular order, aside from #1 (and if you've been around for a while, you probably already know what it is)

List below for compactness:

#5- The filter scene (Finding Nemo)

Feels like most people have that one moment in a Disney or Pixar moment that stuck with them. Mine is...I wouldn't say 'unusual,' but it's not one I see brought up super frequently. And, oddly, there are times where I'll straight-up forget this scene exists. But whenever it came on when I was little, I'd be terrified.

Finding Nemo came out when I was about four, and it was one of my childhood favorites. I loved animals, and I loved movies with animals, so I watched it over and over. I'd quote it at day camp and pretend I was one of the movie's characters whenever I went swimming. Doesn't mean it didn't still scare the shit out of me, though.

For those who haven't seen the movie, or don't remember, the filter scene occurs partway through the movie in the dentist's office. As part of the plan to escape the tank, Nemo has to jump out of the water and into the filter box to jam the fan, before swimming back to the tank through the fan tube.

rewatching it now, I can see why it set me off. The combination of the tube's claustrophobia and the imminent threat of being torn apart is a scary thing. The sound design doesn't help- the harsh grating noise of the fan and the sound of nervous breathing echoed off of the narrow path just makes everything more uncomfortable.

#4- Maurice Meets the Beast (Beauty and the Beast)

Here's, at least, one I see talked about more often. Which is good, because it should be.

Disney Princess movies were another childhood favorite of mine, a love fostered by my maternal grandmother, who loved princess stories even more than I did. I grew up with all the classics, and I watched them over and over again. Didn't mean they still didn't terrify me every time, though...

At least this one was *supposed* to be terrifying, as the audience's first up-close scene with the beast after the intro.

Like with the Nemo scene, I think sound factors a lot into what makes this so scary. The thunder, voices and steps echoing off the empty castle walls, and, of course, the snarling roars. The moments of levity between the arrival and the beast's appearance I think actually enhance the horror due to the whiplash. The moment the situation seems to turn safe and inviting, it's suddenly wrenched away and made all the more worse.

#3- Video-Man (Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends)

So if the last two were a little too mainstream, here's something a little out of left field. So far out, apparently, that I can't even find a good video example to show off.

I grew up in the early 2000's. There were plenty of good superhero cartoons to watch: Justice League, Static Shock, Teen Titans, and if you wanted to dip back into the 90's, there were absolute classics like BTAS, X-Men, and Freakazoid!

Did I watch any of these growing up?

No.

I had 'Spiderman and his Amazing Friends.'

For those unfamiliar, it was a 1981 cartoon in a similar art style to the Spiderman solo series released the same year. It starred the titular character alongside Iceman and OC-made-for-the-show Firestar going on adventures. I watched all three seasons on DVD whenever we went to visit my grandparents. Though I can't say for certain where it originated from, my best guess is that the DVD rips originally belonged to my father and were just lying around at my grandmother's house. I recently rewatched the series after about twenty years and was amazed at how many episodes I remembered...and how stiff the animation was. God, the 80's-ness of the whole thing seeps into every cel.

The copious amount of intro information is both to explain the series and to hold off for as long as I can the fact that as a kid I was scared shitless of this idiot

This, as the title suggests, is Video-Man, another of the show's OC's. Given that this came out in the 80's, where arcades were popular and video games were becoming more publicly widespread, I can only guess he was made to try and capitalize on the trend. And jesus christ did they try, because in this one series they tried to introduce him three goddamn times. Once as a creation of Shocker, once as a hero, and once as an entity from a corrupted arcade cabinet. All three were episodes I found unnerving, but the last one is the one that haunted me...which is funny, because it has the least Video-Man even in it!

In season 2 episode 1, 'The Origin of the Iceman, there's a point partway through where J. Jonah Jameson is zapped into Video-Man's arcade cabinet in a junkyard. Upon realizing what's happened, he starts walking down an endlessly repeating hallway.

And that's it. Literally that's all that happens. For Video-Man himself, I can kinda get what freaked me out, his simplistic design and strange movements do feel a little uncanny, but the fact that I was terrified by a blank looping hallway for years is harder to explain. Even if I did have a clip to show everyone, I don't think it would make much more sense.

#2- Literally Goddamn Everything (Jimmy Neutron)

Ahh, 2000's TV cgi. In retrospect I can appreciate some of the strides made during the time, but ironing out the rough spots takes time and effort, and in the process, you might scar some kids.

I hated this show. I'm sure it's good, but kid-me was never able to get past the instinctive uneasiness I had for the animation. I mostly watched traditional animation, though I'd seen Pixar movies, so I knew what that sort of animation *was,* yet I still could never watch the show without discomfort. The animation was too exaggerated in the strangest places, the movements were 'off' in a way I couldn't describe, and some of the concepts it pulled out for episodes didn't help in making things feels any less creepy.

If I have to narrow it down from 'everything,' I have clear, crisp memories of every time the episode 'Sheen's Brain' came on, I would flee the room.

#1- Larry-Boy and the Fib from Outer Space! (Veggietales)

Again, if you know me well enough, you probably saw this coming.

Princess movies, Pixar, superhero cartoons...and Veggietales. All my childhood staples. And, in hindsight, I still have a fondness for all of them. Disney and Pixar had some beautiful art and fun stories, spiderman might have been cheesy, but it was still fun and creative, and Veggietales is a Christian series I'll still give praise to, because it actually felt like it was trying to impart good values onto kids, and it could still be silly while doing it. In addition to bible stories, there were all sorts of pop-culture pastiches, like the Larry-Boy episodes.

And that's where we get into this. The Larry-Boy episodes tended to get the most outlandish and creative since the creators were working within the absurd realm of superhero media. Hence, in order to create an episode about the importance of honestly and why lying is bad, THEY TURNED IT INTO A GIANT MANEATING ALIEN THAT ALMOST KILLS THE MAIN CHARACTER

And, trust me, as an adult I fully recognize how goddamn stupid the whole thing sounds. I think the early CGI contributed a fair bit to it. Veggietales generally managed to avoid the uncanny valley due to it intentionally using simplistic, limbless characters. Even with as blobby as it is, the fib monster is a lot more detailed than most of the series' characters around the time, so maybe it gave me of an opportunity be be uncanny.

The reason it gets to be #1 so easily is because it absolutely had the most profound level of terror to me. I was once so terrified of this episode that I took our VHS copy of it and stuffed it behind the TV stand and tried to force my mom to sell it at the annual garage sale so I didn't even have to look at the cardboard jacket with the fib's face on it. Something about this purple lump of bastard gave me regular nightmares for much longer than it had any goddamn right to.

Bonus Book!

In an attempt to salvage any dignity I have here, my bonus example is something I still think is genuinely horrifying nowadays.

Let me introduce you to David Shannon's 'A bad Case of Stripes,' a book that took such a simple moral of 'be yourself and like what you like' to the most inexplicably body-horror end possible.

The book follows a girl named Camilla, who enjoys lima beans despite none of her friends liking them. In order to fit in, she pretends to hate them, too. Soon after, she appears to come down with a strange disease, turning her skin rainbow-striped, as the cover shows. When she goes to school, her skin starts turning into more colors and patterns, to her classmates' amusement. Definitely weird, and the art style is a bit uncanny, but nothing too bad, right?

AND THEN THE BOOK JUST GOES NUTS

As doctors try to find the cause of her condition, Camilla starts shafting into more and more bizarre forms based on what they hypothesize the reason. She's entirely lucid and conscious as her body malforms and starts sprouting these random additions

the climax of the book occurs when a meditation specialist suggests that Camilla try to relax and 'become one with the room' TO WHICH THIS CHILD FUCKING FUSES TO THE FURNITURE OF HER HOUSE.

Imagine being, say, five or so, being introduced to this book. I didn't really understand what body horror was in any capacity, I had never even conceptualized the idea of a human becoming something like this in such a visceral way. The art does do a lot of the legwork, but the fact that the narrative by itself goes to such lengths absolutely makes it unique, but unique in a 'Mr. Shannon are you sure you should be writing for children' way.

Happy Halloween everyone. Jesus fucking christ.

Heyo, I've come back with more LMK/ML AU brainvomit E

As stated, Chloe gets kidnapped and is now stuck in Megapolis

She spends the first few days of her "captivity" basically trying to run away. Macaque doesn't do much to stop her since, well - where is she going to go? He's operating in the middle of nowhere and she has no clue how to navigate around by herself

In addition, the Horse Miraculous is no help either as it's got a limited range (or at least my version does) and requires knowing both your location and destination and thus can't simply take her directly back to Paris - so edgy hobo monkey an it is!

(She keeps using her cellphone when she can, hoping to get a ping out to Papa so he can come get her)

As explained in my first post, there deal is that Chloe lets Macaque borrow a miraculous when he requests, and in return, he teaches Chloe magic and some Mandarin

Macaque is an absolute menace with the Miraculous in his arsenal; Spooky shadow powers+Concept given form via magic (With the bonus of no limiters due to being an adult) turns out to be a dangerous and deadly combo. While he doesn't win, he does succeed in being a difficult opponent - MK: "SERIOUSLY, HOW DO YOU KEEP GETTING THOSE WEIRD MAGICAL ITEMS!?!" Macaque, using the Rooster to give himself every super power: "FUCK YOU THAT'S HOW!"

(Sun Wukong def recognizes the miraculouses for what they are and is curious why a Guardian would be helping Macaque when he was strictly considered an enemy to the order back then, but then hints about LBD's revival pop up and he has to put investigating that on the backbunner in exchange for prepping)

The Kwami are reluctantly being cooperative since they're just as stuck as Chloe is and can't go against the Guardian (i.e her), but they do abuse the hell out of the "we can't tell you if you don't ask" rule against both as their own form of resistance (Not Pollen or Xuppu though - they're absolutely upfront about everything (Pollen out of loyalty to Chloe, and Xuppu due to being a blabbermouth with no filter)

Chloe tries giving him the "useless" ones at first but slowly gets invested by proxy and starts giving him suggestions. This eventually upgrades to Chloe joining him on the field (sometimes as QB, sometimes with one of the other miraculouses from the box)

On Macaque's side, he doesn't expect much from her at first for their magic lessons and only offered as a farce to get her cooperation (Most of Chloe's "magic" was thanks to the miraculous after all, and he initially sensed very little from the girl herself), but then she actually manages to cast a spell so he observes Chloe's core and realizes HOLY FUCK why is her potential so high now?!?!? Did practicing do something she's a potential sorceress now WTF?????

(Turns out getting akumatized multiple times (and being exposed to unfiltered magic from a damaged magical object since childhood) unlocks your magic potential and having it done while you're wearing a miraculous afterwards is the fantasy equivalent of getting bit by a radioactive spider. The practice helped though)

That being said, while Chloe's magic potential is high, it's also highly unstable, so Macaque Request they limit practice to simple spells that require a foci to help with stabilizing it.

Chloe's magic seems to fall under enchantments (charming and the like) and binding. Whether this is due to Pollen's influence or her prior Akumatizations is a mystery.

She (sadly(?)) doesn't seem compatible with Mac's shadow magic, but he's certain they can find a workaround

Meanwhile, her language lessons consist of practicing sentences with Macaque and ordering takeout for the both of them from Pigsy's (with varying success) with her creditcard (and the silent hope her dad notices the surprise charges and tracks it down).

(MK still has not connected that angry foreign girl who has him drive out to the city limits for two noodle bowls to Macaque's equally angry new bee-themed helper who keeps trying to stab him)

(A month and a half into this, Chloe's creditcard and cellphone plans were suddenly cancelled. It wasn't hard to put two and two together when she realizes her billing statement should have come in the week before)

Notice from Ghost Janitor

A) I have one message in the inbox that's been sitting since Dec 11th and that's due to me being somewhat lazy. I want to actually do some research into it as I'm somewhat curious and do wonder if it could give a better idea of how busy Crowley actually is.

B) I have two anon asks relating to ocs? Like one is definitely an oc, but the other doesn't really specify if it's an oc but I'm assuming it is. So reminder from the guidelines.

"Anyone may interact though for anyone wanting to use their oc I do request that anonymous not be used. I want to be certain the actual owner of the character is wanting to interact."

So for the vague RSA student, I'm not entirely sure if I should answer that. I don't know for sure who it's referring too and have no way of making sure it's not some popular fan oc that someone else is talking about. I only want the proper owners to refer to their ocs, not use others' ocs.

As for the other one, I plan to send a dm to make sure they did send the ask. If they weren't the one to send it, then I'm deleting that ask.

C) I got a picture of a spider in my inbox. As far as I'm aware, there's not a way to censor just the image. I don't want to spook anyone with the image so hopefully everyone with arachnophobia has the tags for spiders and such filtered.

Though considering the spider, it might be a bit spooky for people that are fine with spiders. Should I just answer the ask like normal and have the appropriate tags or do you all think it would work better if I reworked it into a post so I could hide the image under a "read more"/"keep reading" cut off?

Should I do that for any potentially triggering stuff?

Also I had to look up how to spell arachnophobia and google thinks it's a wise idea to show pictures of spiders being held right next to the definition. Pretty sure that isn't helpful for anyone with that fear and maybe wanting to grab the definition directly for someone and/or double-check their spelling.

I do plan to answer the ask with the spider, I just want to gather a general idea about how I should treat it as I do think fear of spiders is a well known phobia. (I myself really hate when I see a spider inside my house. Otherwise I'm usually fine though sometimes staring at a photo of a larger species can freak me out a little.)

Sorry for those waiting to be answered. I'm lazy.

DIY Spooky Video Production Tips

Halloween is the perfect time to get creative with video production . Whether you’re making a spooky short film, a Halloween-themed vlog, or even a promotional video with a spooky twist, DIY video production can be both fun and impactful. You don’t need a Hollywood budget to create something eerie and entertaining — with a little planning, some smart techniques, and a dash of creativity, you can make your spooky video stand out. Here are some simple, effective DIY spooky video production tips. Set the Mood with Lighting Lighting is crucial for creating a spooky atmosphere. Dim lighting can instantly turn a regular scene into something eerie. You can achieve this by using candles, lamps, or low-wattage bulbs to create shadows and depth in your shots. If you don’t have professional lighting equipment, don’t worry—try pointing a light source indirectly at your subject (like bouncing it off a wall or ceiling) to soften it and create a moody ambiance. For added effect, try using coloured gels or cellophane in front of your lights to cast an eerie green, red, or blue tint over your scene. A torch or a phone light placed under a person’s face is a classic trick to create that unsettling “ghost story” look. Remember, darkness and shadows are your allies when crafting spooky scenes! Play with Camera Angles and Movements The way you position your camera can drastically alter the tone of your video. Low angles can make characters or objects appear more menacing, while high angles can make your subjects seem vulnerable or powerless. For a disorienting effect, consider using tilted or “Dutch” angles. Handheld, shaky camera movements can evoke a sense of panic or unease, while slow, creeping pans can build tension. If you’re aiming for a Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity vibe, handheld shots with occasional zoom-ins can work well to heighten tension and suspense. Just make sure the shaky effect doesn’t make your footage unwatchable. Sound is Key One of the most effective ways to make your video spookier is by focusing on sound. Silence, eerie background noises, and sudden audio shifts can all add to the suspense. If you can, record or source creaky door sounds, whispering, wind howling, or footsteps to layer into your video. These sounds don’t need to be loud to be effective—in fact, subtle, quiet noises often work best to creep out your viewers. If you have access to free or affordable sound effect libraries, incorporate horror-themed audio like distant screams, ghostly wails, or unnerving ambient noise to enhance the atmosphere. Don’t forget about music, either! A simple, haunting piano melody or tension-building strings can drastically improve the spooky vibe. Use DIY Special Effects You don’t need a special effects team to create impressive Halloween effects. Start with practical effects like fake blood, which you can make with corn syrup and red food colouring. Cotton wool or tissue paper can be used to create spider webs, and fog machines are an affordable way to add an extra spooky layer to your shots. For digital effects, try free or budget-friendly editing software that offers filters, slow-motion, and special effects. If you want to add ghostly figures or supernatural effects, you can use simple techniques like masking or double exposure to layer images or videos. There are plenty of tutorials online that show you how to achieve spooky effects on a small budget. Even apps on your phone can create ghoulish looks with filters and effects. Costumes and Props on a Budget You don’t need to buy expensive costumes or props to make your spooky video shine. DIY costumes are often the most creative. Old clothes, face paint, and even household items can be transformed into ghostly characters, zombies, or eerie figures. For example, an old sheet can make for a classic ghost, while tattered clothes and some makeup can create an effective zombie look. Props can be as simple as a carved pumpkin, a broomstick, or some creepy dolls. Even items like mirrors or old picture frames can be used to add an unsettling vibe to your video. Think about how everyday items can be repurposed or altered to create a spooky setting. Editing for Maximum Spookiness Post-production is where you can really enhance the creepy elements of your video. Use slow motion during tense moments to build suspense or fast cuts to disorient the viewer during scary moments. Adding glitch effects or grainy overlays can make your footage look unnerving, like a found footage horror movie. Colour grading is another useful tool. Apply cool tones, such as blues and greens, for a ghostly atmosphere, or red for more intense, horror-themed scenes. Simple editing tricks, like quick jump scares or sudden audio spikes, can surprise your audience and add to the overall spooky tone. Creating a spooky DIY video for Halloween doesn’t require expensive gear or a full production team. With clever use of lighting, sound, camera angles, and post-production techniques, you can craft a terrifying video on a budget .

Halloween Filter: Adding Spooky Fun to Your Social Media Experience

With Halloween just around the corner, social media platforms are already buzzing with spooky content, from costumes and haunted house tours to creepy recipes and ghost stories. One trend that has particularly gained momentum in recent years is the use of halloween filter. These virtual overlays transform your everyday photos and videos into eerie, fun, and sometimes downright terrifying visuals. But what exactly is a Halloween filter, and why has it become such a hit?

What is a Halloween Filter?

A Halloween filter is a special effect or digital overlay available on social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and even Zoom, allowing users to add Halloween-themed elements to their selfies, videos, or live streams. These filters use augmented reality (AR) technology to add animations, face masks, spooky backgrounds, and other themed effects that interact with the user’s facial expressions or environment in real-time.

From turning your face into a glowing jack-o'-lantern to adding vampire fangs, witch hats, or ghostly apparitions, Halloween filters let you celebrate the spooky season in a fun and creative way. They can be simple, like an eerie color change, or more interactive, using AR to project moving objects like bats or spiders around you.

Why Are Halloween Filters So Popular?

Fun and Creativity: The essence of Halloween is about embracing the spooky, fun, and fantastical, and filters help users do just that without needing elaborate costumes or makeup. With a tap of a button, you can try on a variety of virtual costumes and effects, letting you unleash your creativity.

Easy to Use: Halloween filters require little effort to use. Unlike physical costumes or makeup, which take time and skill, filters allow you to transform instantly. They’re perfect for those who want to get into the Halloween spirit but don’t have the time or resources for a full costume.

Shareable Content: Social media is all about sharing experiences, and Halloween filters create content that is easily shareable. Whether you’re sending snaps to friends, posting on your story, or filming a TikTok video, these filters make your content more engaging and visually appealing.

Personalization and Interaction: Many Halloween filters are interactive and can change depending on your facial expressions or gestures. For example, raising your eyebrows might cause the filter to morph into something more sinister, or opening your mouth could trigger ghostly sounds. This element of personalization makes using these filters even more exciting.

Popular Halloween Filters

Over the years, some filters have become synonymous with the Halloween season. Here are a few that have captured the imagination of users:

Zombie Face: One of the most popular Halloween filters is the zombie face, which turns users into decaying, hollow-eyed zombies, perfect for that horror movie vibe.

Pumpkin Head: This filter places a glowing jack-o’-lantern over your head, with animated flames flickering inside the pumpkin’s carved-out face.

Vampire Fangs and Blood: Want to instantly look like you’ve just emerged from a gothic horror novel? This filter gives you sharp vampire fangs, complete with dripping blood effects.

Haunted House Background: Some filters go beyond your face and add eerie backgrounds, like foggy graveyards, haunted mansions, or floating ghosts, creating an immersive Halloween setting.

Witch Transformation: This AR filter lets you put on a witch hat, add a broomstick, and see magical sparks fly around you as if you’ve conjured a spell.

How Brands Are Using Halloween Filters

Brands have caught on to the popularity of Halloween filters and are using them as part of their seasonal marketing strategies. Many companies create custom filters to promote their Halloween campaigns, encouraging users to engage with their content by using branded filters that offer exclusive experiences. For example, a makeup brand might create a Halloween filter that allows users to virtually try on its spooky makeup products. Fast food chains and beverage companies have also created Halloween-themed filters that tie into limited-time products, creating a fun and immersive way to engage with their audience.

DIY Halloween Filters

In addition to the pre-made filters available on platforms like Snapchat and Instagram, creative users can design their own Halloween filters using tools like Spark AR Studio or Lens Studio. This DIY approach allows artists and brands to customize filters that reflect their unique Halloween vision. By building your own filter, you can control every element, from the spooky background music to the eerie animations that interact with users’ movements.
