Where to find Halloween fonts for Cricut
My favourite place to download Halloween fonts is Creative Fabrica.
I have their monthly subscription which means that I can download as many of their fonts, SVGs or graphics as I want, without paying an extra.
I highly recommend the subscription, but if you don’t want to commit to that then you can purchase all these Halloween fonts separately for a small one-off fee.
Here are a list of all the fonts I used in my video in case you want to use the exact same ones.
I’ll put the word that I typed onto my subway sign first, and then link the name of the font to where you can download it.
- Happy Halloween: Font name = Halloween
- Spooky: Font name = Halloween Nightmare
- Spiders: Font name = Halloween is Coming
- Pumpkins: Font name = Halloween Pumpkin
- Trick or treat: Font name = Halloween Attack
- Boo: Font name = Whollard Ghostia
- October 31st: Font name = Halloween Witch
- Haunting: Font name = Halloween Elegance
- Witch, please: Font name = Angel Heart Script
- Creep it real: Font name = Ghoster Hunter
Phew, that sure was a long list!
