Halloween
Scott Lewis
I've spent enough Halloweens hunting for icons that felt festive without turning into a horror show, so this list only includes sets that keep pumpkins and candy the point, not blood. If you're building an October campaign—party invites, sale banners, or a bit of seasonal skin on your app—these sets from vetted VectorIcons.net contributors give you real range: cute cartoon mascots, moodier gothic atmosphere, and the plain workhorse UI pieces you'll need to hold it all together. I picked sets you can mix and layer, so a countdown calendar from one pack can sit next to a witch's broom from another without looking mismatched.
The Quiet Workhorse Behind Your Spooky UI
This is the odd one out on this list, and I like it for that. Its 318 icons are mostly plain interface pieces—arrows, an ad tag, an atom—built in a clean, consistent line style, so it's the set I'd reach for when I need the buttons and navigation around a Halloween landing page, not the ghost on it.

General Party Icons That Happen to Fit October
At 149 icons, this pack isn't Halloween-specific—it covers birthday hats, an air balloon, a balloon dog, even a Christmas sparkler—but the party-favor energy carries straight into a fall mixer or trick-or-treat flyer. Good to have on hand if your event graphics need generic celebration icons alongside the spookier stuff.

Cute Cartoon Monsters and Fortune-Telling Props
A hundred icons in a friendly, rounded cartoon style—an alien-devil mascot, a cute cartoon spider, a clown-faced emoticon, a crystal ball for fortune-telling, a bottle of toxic-looking potion. This is the set I'd pick for a flyer or social post that wants to look fun before it looks spooky.
100 icons.
Candlelit, Gothic-Leaning Icon Set
This pack trades cartoon-cute for a moodier, candle-and-parchment feel—an old bible, a dripping candlestick, a potion elixir, an autumn maple leaf, even an axe. Some of the file names get dramatic, but visually it reads more haunted-house-decoration than horror movie, which makes it a good pick when you want atmosphere on a poster without scaring anyone off.

A Second Volume in the Same Gothic Style
This is the companion to set 29536—same candlelit visual system, another 100 icons, with a few new additions like a bone and a popsicle mixed in alongside the familiar bible, potion, and axe. If one volume runs short for a bigger campaign, grab both and the style still holds together.

Costume-Party Supplies, Mummy Included
This one leans into the party side of Halloween—a necklace, a party hat, sparklers, balloons, two figures standing as partners, and, appropriately, a mummy. It's built for invitation and event-flyer work where the vibe is 'come to our party' more than 'enter if you dare.'
100 icons.
A Countdown-to-October-31st Set
Built around the date itself, with a 31st/calendar icon front and center, alongside a black cat, a bat under the moon, an alien-devil mascot, a Dracula figure, and a dry autumn leaf. It's a solid pick for any promo that's counting down the days rather than just marking the season.
83 icons.
Candy, Costumes, and Merch-Ready Icons
This set pairs the expected cartoon spider and alien-devil mascot with icons you don't always see in a Halloween pack—a t-shirt, a candy bag, even a camping axe. Handy if your October campaign includes actual merchandise or a costume shop, not just party graphics.
83 icons.
Potions, Bats, and a Grinning Clown
The mix here runs toward the moody-cute middle ground—an acid-green potion bottle, a clown-face emoticon, a candy bag, a bat under the moon, and a bat that's meant to look properly evil. It reads well as a set for spooky-sale graphics that need a little edge without losing the fun.
83 icons.
Cemetery and Haunted-Town Scene Icons
This is less about characters and more about setting: a cemetery and stone-architecture icon, a bible with a cross, a poison flask, dry autumn leaves, even a bone dog-treat for the family pet. If your layout needs a haunted-town backdrop rather than another monster face, this is the set to open first.
83 icons.
A Trick-or-Treat Invite Starter Kit
Calendar date, bat, cartoon spider, clown face, a bone treat, and a magic wand—this set reads like the greatest-hits version of a kid-friendly Halloween party, and that's exactly what it's good for. I'd reach for it first for invitations and social posts aimed at a trick-or-treat crowd.
83 icons.
A Witch's Toolkit With One Odd Extra
Broomstick, potion bottle, black cat, candy bag, calendar date—the expected witch-and-candy lineup—plus, oddly, a brain icon that gives the set a mad-scientist wink. It's a fun choice for a witchy sale promo that wants a slightly clever edge.
83 icons.
Frequently asked questions
Are these Halloween icon sets appropriate for family-friendly campaigns?
Yes. I chose sets that lean into classic, fun Halloween imagery—jack-o'-lanterns, black cats, friendly ghosts, candy—and steered around gore or genuinely scary imagery, even where a set's file names get a little dramatic.
Can I combine icons from different sets in one project?
You can, though I'd pair by style first. The two 'Helloween' packs (29536 and 29537) share a gothic-lantern look, the 83-icon 'Halloween' series shares a consistent cartoon system, and the two 'Joyful Holiday' packs are their own friendly family. Mix across those groups and you'll get more contrast than cohesion.
Is there anything here beyond character icons—do I get UI-ready pieces too?
Yes. Ghost Set 1 alone brings 318 general interface icons—arrows, an ad tag, an atom—in a clean line style, so you're covered for the buttons and navigation around your seasonal promotion, not just the pumpkins on it.
Do contributors get paid fairly for these icons?
Every set here comes from a vetted contributor who keeps 70% of direct sales, and subscription use is paid out through a daily revenue pool, so buying supports the actual designers, not just a marketplace.
Is AI-generated art part of this collection?
No, these are designer-built sets. We're working toward a future where AI tools can be part of the marketplace ethically, with artists sharing in the rewards and clear consent, but that's not something we've shipped, and it's not in this collection.
