12 Spooky AR Effects to Try This Halloween

Facial Octopus
@sheidlina

There’s something incredibly intriguing about this face-invading mollusk. Especially the way the user’s eye, nose and mouth are creepily displaced.

Open Face
@fredericofavo

This face-splitting effect opens up the middle to reveal the untold horrors below. Terrifying? Yes. Impressive work? Absolutely.

Bubz
@dr_hanz_

Go ahead, try it out. See how long you can tolerate this bubbly effect, slowly smothering your air supply. OK, that’s enough, get it off, get it off!

Plague Doctor
@maslo_insta_mask

Got chronic bubonic? We’re sorry, AR effects probably won’t help. But this beautifully-rendered plague doctor mask is still pretty fun and freaky.

Cyborg_Spike
@liamo.studio

True to its name, this effect turns you into a multi-colored techno demon, combining spooky cyborg features with unsettling rippling spikes.

FingerEyes
@oleg.pashkovsky  @luqmnashaari

Beautifully simple, yet utterly terrifying. This skin-crawling effect will totally ruin the act of looking into the eyes of someone you love this Halloween.

Eye Stretch
@zach.lieberman

If there was ever a torture device made for someone’s eyeballs, this effect is probably about as close to that as you’ll want to get.

Princess
@princex_13

The wiggling cheek tendrils are what tips this effect over from masquerade mask into H.R. Geiger’s dream party attire.

Null
@wipaweeeeee  @_evapeng

Imagine opening the door to a trick’or’treater and seeing someone with a face...held together by a chain.

Glitch
@goodbyechimera

Proving that spooky doesn’t need to be supernatural, this effect twists your face, and possibly your stomach too.

Haunted TV
@instagram

Sure, you can try to change the channel, but it’s always the same creepy show. Maybe it’s time to read a book.

Creepy Clown
@marcwakefieldards

Because this blog post would really be incomplete without a classic from a master of face effect freight!
