15+ Free Halloween Wallpapers for iPhone: Cute, Vintage & Aesthetic Backgrounds
Looking for a cute Halloween wallpaper for your phone? I made a collection of free Halloween iPhone wallpapers with everything from friendly ghosts and glowing pumpkin patches to vintage black cats, cozy fall scenes and a few familiar trucks from The Trucks That Saved Halloween.
There’s a mix of styles here, so whether you love a dreamy Halloween aesthetic, vintage Halloween wallpaper or something sweet and not-so-spooky, you can find a background for October.
All of these wallpapers are designed vertically for a phone Lock Screen, with extra space toward the top so your clock, date and widgets don’t cover the main artwork.
You can save any of the wallpapers below for free.
How to Save a Halloween Wallpaper on iPhone
Tap the wallpaper you want to use, save the full-size image to your Photos, then open it from your iPhone wallpaper settings and adjust the crop if needed.
I designed these with the main artwork lower on the screen so there’s room for the date, clock and widgets at the top.
Tip: Some wallpapers look especially pretty with a simple clock and no additional widgets.
Cute Halloween Wallpapers
If your Halloween style is more cute than creepy, start here. These are full of smiling ghosts, pumpkins, soft skies and cozy October colors.
1. Cute Ghost Pumpkin Patch
Cute Ghost Pumpkin Patch — A sweet Halloween wallpaper with friendly ghosts, glowing pumpkins and a dreamy autumn sky.
This one feels like Halloween without being spooky at all. I especially love it for younger kids or anyone who wants something cheerful for October.
If your kids like this kind of not-so-scary Halloween fun, I have a whole collection of easy Halloween activities for toddlers and preschoolers, including pumpkin games, building activities and simple ideas we actually do at home.

2. Black Cat on a Pumpkin Fence
Black Cat on a Pumpkin Fence — A cozy black cat, glowing lanterns and pumpkins under a warm Halloween moon.
This one falls somewhere between Halloween and classic fall. The lanterns and sunset make it especially pretty as a Lock Screen.
3. Candy Corn Sky
Candy Corn Sky — Friendly ghosts float through an orange, cream and purple Halloween sky with stars, moons and tiny bats.
The orange-to-purple sky reminded me of candy corn colors without actually covering the wallpaper in candy corn.
4. Not-Scary Haunted House
Not-Scary Haunted House — A magical little haunted house with happy ghosts, glowing pumpkins and a moonlit path.
This might be my favorite if you want a traditional Halloween scene that still feels warm and family-friendly.
And if you’re planning a Halloween trip to Disneyland, you may also like my guide to Halloween Time at Disneyland, including Cars Land’s Haul-O-Ween decorations and seasonal attractions.

Vintage Halloween Wallpapers
Vintage Halloween is having such a moment, and I completely understand why. Black cats, old-fashioned moons, faded orange pumpkins and antique postcard textures somehow make Halloween feel even cozier.
5. Vintage Black Cat Halloween
Vintage Black Cat Halloween — An old-fashioned Halloween-inspired black cat and pumpkin scene beneath a glowing full moon.
6. Vintage Jack-o’-Lantern Pattern
Vintage Jack-o’-Lantern Pattern — A repeating antique-inspired Halloween print with pumpkins, crescent moons, stars and fall leaves.
This one also works nicely as a Home Screen because there isn’t one central subject that gets hidden behind app icons.
7. Retro Halloween Party
Retro Halloween Party — Party-hat-wearing black cats, candy and smiling pumpkins give this wallpaper a playful vintage Halloween look.
8. Vintage Moon and Pumpkins
Vintage Moon and Pumpkins — A black cat watches the moon from a pumpkin patch in this softly spooky vintage Halloween scene.
Halloween Aesthetic Wallpapers
These are a little moodier and more atmospheric, with glowing moons, purple skies and lots of room for your Lock Screen clock.
9. Purple Halloween Night
Purple Halloween Night — A glowing moon, purple clouds and an autumn pumpkin path create a dreamy Halloween night scene.
10. Crescent Moon and Floating Ghosts
Crescent Moon and Floating Ghosts — Tiny friendly ghosts drift through a starry sky around a glowing crescent moon.
I love how simple this one feels once it’s actually on the phone. There’s plenty of dark sky for the Lock Screen information while the ghosts and moon sit lower on the screen. It looks like it actually glows!
Cozy Fall Wallpapers
Not everything has to scream Halloween. These next two work through October and well into November (and for pumpkin spice lovers).
11. Cozy Fall Pumpkins
Cozy Fall Pumpkins — Pumpkins, plaid, candlelight and warm autumn colors make this an October-cozy Lock Screen.
12. Autumn Window Scene
Autumn Window Scene — A cozy fall window, pumpkins, candlelight and a warm drink overlooking colorful autumn leaves.
Love fall treats too?
One of my favorite parts of fall is all the seasonal food that starts showing up everywhere — especially ice cream.
I rounded up some of the best fall ice cream flavors and seasonal treats if you want a little more autumn inspiration after changing your wallpaper.

The Trucks That Saved Halloween Wallpapers
And of course I had to make a few wallpapers inspired by The Trucks That Saved Halloween.
If you have a little one who loves trucks, these are probably the ones they’ll choose first.
13. Witch Ice Cream Truck
Witch Ice Cream Truck — The Witch Ice Cream Truck flies into a magical Halloween evening filled with pumpkins, candy and stars.
Meet the trucks behind the wallpaper
The Witch Ice Cream Truck is one of the characters in my children’s book The Trucks That Saved Halloween, a sweet Halloween story for little truck fans.
The trucks build a Halloween carnival complete with pumpkins, costumes, games and plenty of truck-or-treat fun.
Read The Trucks That Saved Halloween
Perfect for ages 2–6 and little kids who love trucks, Halloween and not-so-spooky stories.
14. Princess Monster Truck
Princess Monster Truck — Princess Monster Truck rolls through a colorful pumpkin patch filled with candy, fall leaves and Halloween sparkle.
15. Halloween Carnival Truck Scene
Halloween Carnival Truck Scene — Witch Ice Cream Truck, Princess Monster Truck and Crane Truck celebrate at a glowing Halloween carnival.
This one is basically the whole world of The Trucks That Saved Halloween packed into one Lock Screen.
Free Halloween Activity Sheets for Kids 🎃
If your kids liked the truck wallpapers, I also made a free printable Halloween activity pack inspired by the book.
It includes kid-friendly mazes, look-and-find activities, counting, matching and more for toddlers, preschoolers and young kids.
Print the activities at home for an easy Halloween afternoon, classroom activity or something fun to do before trick-or-treating.
Bonus: Fall Ice Cream Wallpaper 🍦
Since I apparently can’t make a fall post without including ice cream somewhere…
16. Cozy Fall Ice Cream
Bonus Fall Ice Cream Wallpaper — Because fall flavors deserve their own phone background too.
