Halloween cross stitch fonts
Pick a spooky phrase for a card, a hoop or a little autumn stitching. These are real charts made with the Xstitchify text tool: stitched outlines, backstitch and shadows in small Halloween palettes.
Open any exact sample with a free account to recolour it, edit stitches and add motifs. Jolly Lodger also lets you type your own words for free. Changing words in the other fonts needs a subscription. The usual PDF allowance applies.

Choose orange and black for a pumpkin feel, purple and green for something witchy, or bone and grey on dark fabric for a quieter ghost story. Each chart shows the DMC colours used in the preview.
Stitched outlines add a bolder edge. Backstitch draws a finer line around letters. Shadows sit on their own stitch layer: if you change the words, edit or remove that shadow separately.
These lettering samples are separate from the free pattern collection. For more lettering styles, browse the font catalogue or start with the text generator.
