Each Halloween kaomoji here is one monster in one line of plain text. The first is a ghost, 〜(・o・)〜. Vampires, zombies, mummies, witches, carved pumpkins and spiders have a group each. Tap a face and it is copied.

Vampire kaomoji and zombie kaomoji
A vampire is two fangs, ▾▾, between the points of a high collar: ◥(・▾▾・)◤. A zombie has crossed-out eyes and both arms held out, (つ×_×)つ, where つ is a hiragana letter used as a hand. Change the eyes to ≡ and the same pose is a mummy in bandages.
Scary kaomoji that stay mild
These are the monsters, not the frightened: nervous faces have their own page. Nothing here bleeds. A carved pumpkin is triangle eyes over a zigzag mouth, (▲w▲), and a witch is a pointed hat with a broom, ▲(・‿・)⊃━彡.
Thirteen faces name their monster in Japanese. Wiktionary gives obake as an apparition or ghost and kyūketsuki as a vampire.
Search skeleton for (◯皿◯): empty sockets over a row of bare teeth.
Give an ordinary face a trailing wave, 〜, on each side, as in 〜(・o・)〜, or let the hands droop from the wrists: ʅ(°o°)ʃ. Those hooks are two phonetic letters, so that face is labeled as borrowing from IPA Extensions.
What are the fangs in ◥(・▾▾・)◤?
Two small triangles, ▾▾. Unicode names the character black down-pointing small triangle, U+25BE. One face here, ◥(•ᵥᵥ•)◤, uses two subscript letters v instead.
Why does a face show an empty box?
A character in it has no font on your device. Six faces here borrow: ʅ and ʃ from IPA Extensions, ᵥ from Phonetic Extensions and ᗜ from Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. The Everyday characters chip hides them.
What does トリックオアトリート mean?
Trick or treat, written in katakana: torikku oa torīto. Wiktionary lists it with that meaning. ハロウィン, Harowin, is Halloween.

How this list was compiled: The entries are this site's own selection and arrangement: each was put together for this page from the parts a kaomoji is made of, with the mark of one monster added: a trailing wave or drooping hands for a ghost, two fangs and a collar for a vampire, crossed-out eyes and arms held out for a zombie, bandage lines for a mummy, a pointed hat for a witch, triangle eyes for a carved pumpkin, legs each side for a spider. Some are forms in common use that nobody owns. The labels, groups and order are this site's own. Every face is mild: nothing here bleeds. No face is on another kaomoji page of this site, and none is among the one-line drawings on this site's ghost, pumpkin, bat, spider and demon emoji pages. Horned devils and bats on their own stay on those pages. The Japanese words come from Wiktionary, each entry read 2026-09-30: torikku oa torīto, trick or treat (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/トリックオアトリート); Harowin, Halloween (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ハロウィン); obake, an apparition, specter, ghost (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/お化け); yūrei, a ghost, a phantom (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/幽霊); majo, a witch (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/魔女); kyūketsuki, a vampire (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/吸血鬼); zonbi, a zombie (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ゾンビ); miira, a mummy (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/木乃伊, where ミイラ points); gaikotsu, a skeleton (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/骸骨); kabocha, pumpkin, squash (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/南瓜); kumo, spider (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/蜘蛛); katakata, clattering (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/かたかた); kowai, frightening, scary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/怖い). The Unihan database, version 18.0.0, defines 皿, U+76BF, the teeth of the skull, as a shallow container, and 卌, U+534C, the ribs, as forty. Every character of every entry was looked up in UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and must be an assigned, visible character. Emoji shown as pictures by default are left out. "Borrows" under an entry names each character from outside the blocks of punctuation, common symbols and Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Japanese letters, with its script from Scripts.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Scripts.txt) or, for a Latin or common character, its block from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt). "Short" means 6 code points or fewer, spaces counted. Nothing here says how any one device draws a face. Licence: own work
