3. Moonlight
The moon is perhaps the most mysterious sight that exist, its distance feels like an eternity away yet its coating of soft light illuminating the moon's dark patches is clearer than an individual standing 10 yards away in the nightlight .

Overall most moon cycles with clouds lurking around is a magnificent sight when captured.

2. Movie Poster
The popular resurfacing question during Halloween is "favourite horror movie of all time", in light of this a movie poster is the perfect post that well suits the Halloween theme. The movie poster may seem hard to create however it's quite simple with the right photo.
The key is to follow the same format as a standard movie poster with a captivating picture that preludes the movie, large movie title which can be positioned anywhere, a bone chilling phrase aimed to hooks viewers, and most importantly a cinema release date (or Netflix release date given today's society).
1. creative character Video
The final place on the top 5 list is the embodiment of Halloween, which is the time and effort invested in transforming into your favourite character. Put aside the standard selfie, group photo, or blase reel, a video while being in character is ultimately the way to go.
Dressed up as Freddy?...a low angle video shot framing only the bottom half of the legs while walking followed by a mysterious head shot will surely bring goosebumps to life. Dressed up as Harley Quin?...beginning the slow motion video with a close up of her playing with her pigtails while moving the shot to her half crazy smile will provide that surreal cinematic feel. Dressed up as Kylo Ren?...well look no further.
