1. Haunted House
A Haunted House backdrop offers a classic Halloween setting for kids to pose in front of in their Halloween attire. While it might be “too scary” or foreboding for some of the smaller tots, it’s perfect for older kids who aren’t afraid to ham it up in front of a creepy house late at night. Lots of scary jack-o-lanterns are included in this backdrop, so no additional props are needed. See also: 6 Tips to a Successful Holiday Mini SessionPhoto Courtesy of Eric Lagace Photography
2. Spooky Moon, Spooky Night
There are also innovative backdrops available that can take the “spooky” factor to some artistic places; a Spooky Moon backdrop features a stylized harvest moon and silhouetted tree and landscape elements for a more minimalist, artistic effect. Our Spooky Night backdrop features a crescent moon, night sky and creepy trees with foreboding branches. Not scary enough? A Creepy Graveyard backdrop should do the trick; a silhouetted tree, cross gravestones and a big, full moon in an artsy, purplish night sky are sure to give your trick-or-treaters tingles!

3. Crime Tape
Are you looking for a realistic looking, crime scene background for your zombies and villains? Our Crime Tape printed backdrop features bright yellow caution tape wrapped across a dark, distressed wood wall, making the perfectly eerie scene for your spookier costumes.Photo Courtesy of Tripod Photography
4. Candy Corn
Candy corn is the quintessential Halloween candy, so it’s sure to delight on a Halloween backdrop. A Candy Corn backdrop helps to create a more whimsical Halloween effect; it’s less spooky than the Haunted House and helps to create a fun, lighthearted vibe — even on Halloween. Its bright candy corn pieces repeated for a wallpapered effect against purple and black is perfect for small children — or whenever a more festive Halloween atmosphere is desired.Photo Courtesy of 1QP Photography
5. Skull and Crossbones
Do you have some edgy, fearless little boys in your group? The Skull and Crossbones printed backdrop just might be the perfect setting for them. It features stylized, wallpapered skulls-and-crossbones repeated evenly over the backdrop for a slightly cartoon-like but impactful effect. Its black and white pattern makes it perfect for brightly-colored Halloween costumes to stand out with perfect contrast.Photo Courtesy of Ashley Glasco Photography
6. Dark Forest

7. Abstract Halloween Styles
Another approach for your Halloween backdrop selection is to dispense with traditional imagery altogether and let your subjects take center-stage. Basic solid-color Halloween backdrops like Pumpkin Orange and Deep Black Fabric can help you to achieve this while bringing classic Halloween colors to your studio. Step it up a couple of notches with an Orange/Black Chevron backdrop with alternating zig-zag stripes; for a more Gothic look, a Black & Red Damask backdrop can really kick up the style of your shoot, and it’s ideal for adult Halloween parties.Featuring: Teal/Black Grunge Damask Printed Backdrop, Black/Orange Chevron Printed Backdrop and Black & Red Damask Printed Backdrop
