Scary Good Ad Designs

More than 90% of Americans celebrate Halloween, and many enjoy the spooks and themes all October long—sometimes even earlier.

If you’re looking to draw in the creep crowd, a Halloween-themed outdoor ad may be just what you need. BillboardsIn has selected five spine-chilling, effective out-of-home ads that will take you from OOH to B-OOH!

1

Goodwill

By giving its recognizable face/G logo a few simple costumes, Goodwill’s spooky billboard draws attention, keeps the Halloween crowd interested, and stays clear in its branding!

2

GEICO

Using its signature green and the GEICO gecko, this ad stays spookily on theme while subtly showing the property it insures (car, home, boat, motorcycle) in the crystal ball.

3

99¢ Only Stores

From Halloween colors to a 1950s horror film style, this ad has a frighteningly effective design. The brighter, contrasting logo in the hand is an attention-grabbing touch.

4

McDonald’s

McDonald’s Halloween ad is scarily simple. With its iconic red background and golden arches, there’s no confusing the brand, while cut-out eyes turn the arches into little ghosts for a bit of spooky fun.

5

Fanta

This eerily impactful Fanta ad pairs cute Halloween elements with a clear presentation of the product: clear messaging and new, themed designs for an old favorite soda!

No Tricks, Just Treats

Advertising during spooky season doesn’t have to be terrifying. BillboardsIn makes it simple to reach potential customers, Halloween-loving or not.
