Halloween! (Free)

Halloween! offers up a handy countdown calendar helping trick or treat fans keep track of how many nights there are until Halloween. It also comes with a Halloween soundboard full of fun, scary noises, Halloween trivia and hundreds of costume ideas. Halloween! is a terrific app not only to get in the mood for Halloween but to celebrate it once the day has arrived.

Halloween WordSearch (Free)

If you’re looking to exercise your mind during Halloween, the Halloween WordSearch is serving up a heaping helping of fun seasonally appropriate word puzzles. WordSearch’s puzzles are displayed on vibrant backgrounds of scarecrow filled cornfields, midnight blue skies and more. A ghostly soundtrack even plays in the background while you search for words.

A Shoot The Pumpkin Game (Free)

We’re all getting a little too old to be smashing pumpkins, but nobody said you can’t shoot a pumpkin in an app! Shoot the pumpkin lets players control classic horror character Dracula as he shows off his bow and arrow skills by shooting pumpkins off of Frankenstein’s head. The trick is to aim the arrow just right so that Frankenstein himself doesn’t get hit, because if he does it’s game over.

Zombie Fingers! 3D Halloween Playground for the Angry Undead (Free)

Zombies take over your iPhone in this interactive app that turns zombies into virtual pets. They must be fed regularly and can be controlled using only your finger. They’ll leave bloody footprints on icons and images adding a new layer of realism to the app.

Halloween Voice Transformer (Free)

Freak out your friends with this fun voice recorder that transforms the sound of your voice into the voice of an alien, witch, grim reaper, scary monster, space robot or spooky ghost. Recordings can be emailed to friends or saved right on your phone for future playback. There’s no better way to play a trick on your friends than with a disguised voice!
