10 Craft Ideas to do With Horror Movie Characters Coloring Pages
Once those spooky coloring pages are beautifully brought to life, don't let them gather dust! These easy, affordable crafts will give your favorite horror icons a terrifying new purpose.
1. Terrifying Trading Cards
Cut out your colored horror characters and glue them onto individual pieces of cardstock. On the back, write “scare stats” like fear factor, weapon rating, or body count, then decorate the card edges with creepy designs. Create your own set of horror character trading cards to battle your friends!
2. “Haunted House” Diorama Box
Decorate the inside of a shoebox to look like a creepy room or scene from a horror movie using construction paper and markers. Cut out colored characters and glue them standing inside or peeking out. Add small “furniture” or details from pipe cleaners and cardboard to set the stage for your gruesome display.
3. Jump Scare Pop-Up Cards
Fold a piece of construction paper in half to make a spooky greeting card. Cut slits inside the fold to create pop-up mechanisms. Glue your cut-out colored horror characters onto these mechanisms so they spring out with a fright when the card is opened.
4. Monster Mash-Up Puppets
Cut out your colored horror characters. Glue each character onto a popsicle stick to create simple hand puppets. Set up a “stage” using an upturned box or a large piece of construction paper with a curtain drawn on it, then put on a gruesome show for your friends and family.
5. “Wanted” Poster Wall Art
Take a large sheet of poster board or construction paper and distress its edges to look old. Glue your cut-out colored horror character prominently in the center. Add “WANTED” in bold, eerie letters, along with a fictional bounty, “crimes,” and a spooky reward message below to complete your macabre decor.
6. Creepy Character Mobile
Punch a hole at the top of several cut-out colored horror characters. Tie varying lengths of string or fishing line through the holes and hang them from a coat hanger or two crossed sticks. Add extra spooky elements like construction paper bats or spiders hanging between them to create a chilling mobile.
7. “Beware!” Door Hanger Signs
Draw and cut out a door hanger shape from cardstock or thin cardboard, remembering the hole for the doorknob. Glue your cut-out colored horror character onto the front. Write a spooky warning like “Beware!” or “Enter if you Dare!” using scary fonts to ward off intruders.
8. Eyes on You Peephole Magnets
Carefully cut out just the eyes from your colored horror characters. Glue these eyes inside bottle caps or onto small cardboard circles. Attach a magnet to the back of each, creating a set of creepy “peeking” eyes for your fridge or any metal surface that will give your guests a fright.
9. Character Silhouette Window Clings
Cut out your colored horror characters, ensuring their iconic silhouettes are clear. Stick them onto one side of clear contact paper. Place another piece of contact paper on top, sealing the character inside. Trim the edges, and then stick your terrifying silhouettes to any window for a haunting effect.
10. “Mystery Meat” Lunch Bag Labels
Decorate plain brown paper lunch bags by gluing your cut-out colored horror characters onto them, perhaps peeking out from the top edge. Write “Mystery Meat” or “Human Snacks” in creepy lettering on the front. Use them to pack a “ghastly” lunch for a themed party or to give your schoolmates a chuckle.
