About Halloween
Halloween is deliberately not a broad pack, but nine sharply defined moods around one theme. From warm pumpkin glow to a cold, misty marsh night, from a classic teal-orange horror grade to a true black and white film look.
This pack is made for the weeks around Halloween: portraits in artificial light, autumn scenes allowed to feel a touch spookier, or simply mood imagery for the season. Each preset picks its own degree of spooky, from cosy to genuinely sinister.
The presets work best on images that already lean that way. Night Shade and Blood Moon want artificial or coloured light, Misty Marsh wants natural, damp daylight instead. Pumpkin Glow and Abandoned Attic lean into warmth, Cobweb and Witching Hour lean into a cold, bleached tone. Wicked Shadow is the darkest of all, Silver Screen lets go of colour entirely.
Nine separate presets are nine starting points, but together they cover the full range of Halloween: from homely and cosy to genuinely unsettling. You choose not by colour alone, but by how far you want to take that mood.
You install the pack in Lightroom Classic or Lightroom through the usual preset import step. After that they sit ready in your preset panel. Open a photo, click a preset, and adjust light or exposure where needed. Working through a series? Sync the chosen preset across the whole selection.
