Why so negative? – Color filters for your video
Speaking of unforgettable color effects, saturated yellows and reds can make your video as spooky as the grim and dark tones black.
Pro tip: Invert the colors in your clip for a second or so to make the viewer question their sanity. Was what they just saw really on screen or was it a figment of their Halloween-fueled imagination?
Who knows?
Bloody Marry – Mirror effects for your video
If there’s something horror films have taught us, it is that the mirror on the wall doesn’t necessarily show Snow White’s beauty. Sometimes, on very special nights such as the 31st of October, a reflection – any reflection – holds the power over a portal to a realm you really don’t want to be in.
How about bringing that dimension “to the big screen”?

Collages are a boring means of showing vacation picks to a group of visibly uninterested friends you say?
