There is something iconic about a silhouette of a crooked mansion sitting on a hill under a giant full moon. Whether it’s the creaky floorboards, the flickering candles in the windows, or the mystery of who (or what!) lives inside, haunted houses are the cornerstone of a classic Halloween.
I’ve put together this collection of 15 free haunted house coloring pages to capture that eerie, atmospheric vibe. Unlike some of our simpler sets, these designs feature a bit more architectural detail—think Gothic spires, intricate stone paths, and twisted trees. They are a fantastic choice for older kids who enjoy shading or for anyone who wants to create a truly moody masterpiece.

If your little artist wants to explore every dark hallway, you can download the complete Haunted House Coloring Book for a massive set of unique designs. If you want to add some characters to these spooky settings, our Disney Halloween Coloring Pages or our Jack Skellington Coloring Pages are the perfect next step.
What’s Included in This Spooky Set?
I wanted this collection to feel like a tour of a “ghost town.” Here is what you’ll find in these high-quality printables:
- Victorian Ghost Houses: Detailed mansions with multiple levels, towers, and pointed roofs—perfect for practicing straight lines and architectural shading.
- Moonlit Skies: Almost every page features a giant moon, wispy clouds, and swarms of bats, giving kids a chance to experiment with deep purples and blues.
- The Path to the Porch: Intricate stone paths leading up to mysterious front doors, surrounded by carved Jack-O’-Lanterns.
- Gnarled Forests: Twisted, leafless trees that frame the houses, creating a perfect “spooky forest” atmosphere.
- Cozy Frights: Some designs focus on smaller, “witch-style” cottages that pair beautifully with our Funny Cute Witch Coloring Pages.
If your kids enjoy a more “pop-culture” style of haunt, they’ll also love our Wednesday Addams Coloring Pages or the whimsical world of the Nightmare Before Christmas Coloring Pages.
Tips for Coloring Haunted Scenes
Because these pages have so much detail, they are a great way to practice some advanced coloring techniques:
- The “Glow” Effect: Use a bright yellow or orange marker for the windows. Then, lightly shade the area around the window with the same color to make it look like light is spilling out into the night.
- Texture Shading: Use gray and black to create a “weathered wood” look on the house siding. Short, vertical strokes help make the house look old and creaky.
- Mist and Fog: Use a light touch with a gray crayon or a piece of cotton to smudge some color around the base of the house. It creates a “creepy fog” effect that really sets the scene.
3 Creative Ways to Use Your Haunted House Pages
1. The “Who Lives Here?” Game
Once the house is colored, have your child draw a character in one of the windows! Is it a ghost? A Werewolf? Or maybe a Halloween Hello Kitty? It’s a great way to spark their storytelling.
2. Spooky 3D Windows
Carefully cut out the windows of the Haunted House and tape a piece of yellow tissue paper behind them. If you tape the whole page to a window, the “lights” in the house will actually glow when the sun hits it!
3. Build a “Ghost Town”
Print out several different houses, color them, and cut them out. Glue them onto a long piece of black poster board to create a neighborhood of haunts. You can add Pumpkin Patch Coloring Pages elements and Scarecrows along the “street.”
