halloween.js / Webflow

Add Halloween effects to Webflow

Webflow does not let you edit the <body> tag directly, so the snippet below adds the classes from a script. Custom code needs an active Site plan or a paid Workspace plan.

Steps

Open Site settings → Custom code.
Paste the snippet into Footer code (the end of <body>).
Save, then publish the site. Custom code does not run in the Designer, only on the published site.

The snippet

One paste, no other files. It loads halloween.js 1.0.3 from jsDelivr and turns on webs in two corners, blinking eyes, flying witches, a dropping spider and a rising tombstone.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/halloween.js@1.0.3/dist/halloween.iife.js"></script>
<script>
(function () {
  function apply() {
    document.body.classList.add("halloween", "halloween-screen-left-top", "halloween-screen-right-bottom", "halloween-eyes", "halloween-witches", "halloween-spider-drop", "halloween-tombstones");
  }
  if (document.readyState === "loading") {
    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", apply);
  } else {
    apply();
  }
})();
</script>

Make it yours

Pick corners, effects, intensity, color and season dates in the playground and open the Paste-only tab. It produces this same snippet, library line included, with your choices.

Good to know

The effects only appear in a window around Halloween, 18 October to 2 November by default. Change the dates in the playground to see them on another day.
Ambient effects stop when a visitor has reduced motion turned on. The screen-corner webs stay.
The effects sit in a fixed layer and never shift your page layout.
To enable it on a single page, paste the snippet into Page settings → Custom code → Before </body> tag of that page instead.
Nothing showing? Reload without cache, then check that the snippet is on the live site and that no content blocker is stripping it.
