Author Notes

In this After Effects Halloween tutorial we’ll create a spooky title animation step by step. You’ll learn how to design a layered text effect with the CC Primal Scream font, animate it using Squash & Stretch Pro, and composite it into a haunted graveyard scene.

We’ll use Keylight and Roto Brush for keying, MochaImport+ for face tracking, and add extra details like a skull overlay and animated clouds to complete the look. Perfect for creating haunted intros, scary titles, or any Halloween-themed video project!
