Trendy Halloween Wallpaper Backgrounds & October Wallpaper For Your Iphone

As the seasons change and autumn officially sets in, my iPhone background needs get reinvigorated. I’ve already set a spooky Halloween theme – a tad early, perhaps, but I’m thrilled with the result. While curating my Pinterest board for Halloween wallpapers, I stumbled upon an abundance of adorable options (and even created a few myself) that I’m eager to share.

This collection features a diverse array of Halloween-inspired backgrounds, including witchy and astrology-themed designs, vibrant pop art, clever sayings, eerie woodland shots, and nods to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. What’s more, some of these designs were actually shot in my own hometown of Salem – a true treat for any horror fan or enthusiast.

To capture a new wallpaper for your iPhone or Android device, first select the desired image by long-pressing it until the ‘Save Image’ option appears. Tap this button to save the photo to your device’s camera roll. After saving the image, navigate to your device’s settings menu and explore the options to customize your wallpaper.
