Halloween is fast approaching. And if you’re one of those people who go all-out for it, then you know that this might not be the best year for the celebration. In this time of the pandemic, going trick or treating will be limited, even a no-no to most countries on the planet. Virtual Halloween parties should be happening, but where’s the fun in that, really?
In this article, we’ve listed down some of the best emojis anyone can use for the upcoming spooky season. Being Halloween-friendly on digital communication channels may be the only thing that we all could do for now. So whether you want to make the most out of the time we are in, or you’re particularly invested in the holiday, here are the best emojis you can use for Halloween:
Bat emoji
The bat emoji is not a recent addition to the roster of emojis on any keyboards, whether it’s iOS or Android, but it still is one of the most popular emojis anyone can use to make the Halloween season more festive. Add in the bat emoji randomly on your text, greetings, posts, and comments and see who’s gonna react to it!
Vampire emoji
What’s a spooky season without stories of vampires and the like? The vampire emoji is a top choice among emoji users because not only is it spooky, it’s goofy as well. The day of the dead doesn’t always need to be feared, in fact, since we all celebrate it, then it should hold a lot more cheer than originally intended!
Use the vampire emoji for invitations for a social-distanced lunch or dinner, on texts, group chats, and the like. You can also use it for random comments on people’s posts and stories that have something to do with Halloween! Be creative with the use of the vampire emoji, and you’ll find that it’s a fun one to send around!
Jack-o-lantern emoji
Ah, a classic. The jack-o-lantern emoji is arguably the most popular amongst the Halloween emojis. Why? Because it’s the most recognizable. Carving squashes and pumpkins is a tradition that’s permanently linked to Halloween, as the season for those produce coincides with the day of the dead celebration.
Use this emoji in droves for your Halloween posts, stories, and even videos. Pair it with an orange and black color scheme, and you’re right on top of the celebration. Always make sure that you keep an even-keeled reaction on other Halloween posts as well, so you don’t get too carried away with the emojis!
Spider emoji
Another classic emoji to use in Halloween spirit, the spider emoji can ignite fear because quite a number of people are wary and afraid of it. Alongside the emojis above, adding the spider emoji to your roster of Halloween emojis will turn the spook level another notch!
Zombie emoji
A recent addition to the emoji family, the zombie emoji encapsulates the feeling of walking dead even when you’re alive. The “zombie mode” is a feeling that we have all experienced, and as we move to more demanding work hours, a zombie emoji is an appropriate emoji to use on texts, chats, and DM’s. It doesn’t hurt that it represents true creatures that happen to be a classic horror character!
Ghost emoji
The ghost emoji is possibly used by everyone to spook, an addition to texts and comments that are specifically scary and spooky. In the modern iteration of its usage, the ghost emoji has been linked heavily to “ghosting”, where one person becomes AWOL after talking to another person via the Internet. But don’t think you can’t use it this Halloween season!
Takeaway
Keeping the Halloween season alive is easy when you know what to do with it. Since we won’t be going to parties this year, being more connected on social media and other digital communication forms is key in not missing it!
