Haunted Houses for Halloween

For a classic Halloween scene, look for pumpkins, bats, and a friendly ghost on a hill, or a large mansion set among bare trees. A skeleton trick-or-treating and children approaching the front door bring a little story to the page. The tilted house surrounded by ghosts, candy, and pumpkins is a playful choice for a seasonal table activity.

Other pictures lean into the spooky side: one house has cracked windows, while another stands beneath a full moon with spiderwebs or a bubbling cauldron. These details give kids familiar shapes to color and talk about as they work. For more seasonal ideas, browse Halloween.

What makes a house look haunted

A haunted house is usually shown through visual clues rather than anything frightening happening in the scene. Crooked rooflines, broken-looking windows, overgrown trees, and an isolated hill make an ordinary building seem mysterious. Bats, cobwebs, owls, and moonlight reinforce that mood.

The drawings range from friendly to eerie, so you can choose the atmosphere that feels right. Smiling ghosts and pumpkins keep a scene light, while a decrepit mansion or dark forest creates more suspense. Look at the windows, roof, and surrounding landscape together to see how each picture tells its own little story.

Choose by age and detail

For a 3-year-old, start with a large outline and just a few details to fill in. The hilltop house with pumpkins, bats, and a friendly ghost is an easy option, and cute smiling ghosts can make the subject feel less spooky for kids. A 7-year-old may enjoy adding color to the windows, roof, and Halloween decorations in a busier scene.

Detailed haunted houses for adults

Adults who enjoy careful coloring can choose the Victorian mansion with twisted trees and perched owls, the realistic house by a cliff, or the intricate, weathered building. These scenes have more to explore, from branches and spiderwebs to roof tiles, windowpanes, and distant scenery. They suit colored pencils and a slower pace, especially when you want to shade the moonlit sky or give each section of the house its own texture.

There are also scenes with characters and recognizable settings, including Scooby-Doo and the gang at a haunted house, plus a Stranger Things-inspired house. Choose one of these when a familiar subject makes the activity more inviting; Scooby-Doo has more pages to color as well.

Colors for a spooky or playful scene

Use black, deep purple, and midnight blue for the night sky, then add a pale yellow or warm orange glow around the full moon and windows. Gray or muted brown can make old boards and stone look weathered, while dark green gives twisted trees a gloomy feel. A few bright pumpkins in orange help the foreground stand out.

For a gentler look, try lavender, sky blue, or soft green on the ghosts and use cheerful colors for candy and decorations. You can keep the house dark while making each ghost a different shade, or give the whole scene a bright, storybook palette. There is no single correct color for a haunted house, so the mood can guide your choices.

Print Haunted House coloring pages as PDFs

Choose “Open the PDF” to view a page before printing, or select “Print” to send it straight to your printer, including from a phone. Use fit-to-page if the house or trees reach close to the paper’s edges. Thicker paper works well with markers, while colored pencils make it easier to shade small windows, webs, and roof details.
