41+ Spooky October Bullet Journal Inspirations and Ideas

A fun way to approach a Halloween theme is just to fill in your pages with cute themed doodles. It looks lovely and you get into the spirit of the holiday right away.

I'll be honest with you; I could never decide if this should be a Halloween theme or a Christmas one.

Let me know what you think in the comments! I'm guessing it can work well for both.

Julia has an adorable and very unique style for her doodles, and I'm glad to see how wonderful it fits a Halloween theme.

I knew about Charlie Brown Christmas, but never thought Charlie Brown Halloween was also a thing and could be so cute.

I kind of itching to add bright oranges to those pumpkins, but that's just me and my endless love for bright Fall colors.

I love how amazing the black and kraft paper looks in this October Bullet Journal setup. It really helps to add to the spooky feeling of the setup.

Here is my take on a spooky theme for my October Bullet Journal setup. As you can see, I kind of just crammed tons of different Halloween doodles here.

As you probably already noticed, I'm a huge fan of contrast, so of course, in contrast with black and white doodles, I had to add some bright orange.

Nabaa is definitely one of my favorite BuJo artists; her style of so beautiful and unique, even when she does a spooky Halloween theme.

As you can see, she is absolutely rocking using acrylograph pens by Archer and Olive. If you want to get yours, remember to use code MASHA10 for 10% off your order!

I love this fun concept of a frame from wood and plants. It goes very well with the magic doodles inside.

Also makes me want to try colored pencils; they created a beautiful effect on this page.

Black and white stripes are classic and will, of course, always remind me of Nightmare Before Christmas.

Obviously a perfect match for an October theme.

I was so happy to discover this little account; how amazing this cover page is.

I can't exactly say what it is, but somehow this reminds me of Japanese drawing style, like maybe a Miyazaki movie. Very cute and cozy.

Remember I mentioned before how you can take that haunted house idea and make it more cartoony? Well, here is a wonderful example!

You'll definitely need a lot of black ink for this one, but I'd say it's absolutely worth it.

Skulls are classics for a spooky Halloween Bullet Journal theme.

I like how with grass and all the other lines, this particular skull has an even spookier aura.

This is my take on a witchy theme. I feel that the various paper colors and the wooden elements create a pretty spooky atmosphere, much like a witch's cottage.

I don't usually like huge monthly logs; they seem to occupy too much space. However, this one is super cute, and for some reason, it doesn't look that huge.

Such a fun and cartoony take on a Halloween theme; I love it.

I do have to say that I'm not really a huge fan of a calendar like this - turning your journal seems like a bit of a chore. But it does look very interesting.

Such a cool setup, and I'm incredibly impressed with how detailed and true to the original these drawings are.

It's also a pretty fun way to decorate the letters.

I won't lie here - this is one of the most creepy ad eerie Halloween pages I've ever seen.

There is something about the black eyes and their smiles that just brings chills to my body.

I love this spread and that there is a special space for goals. Also, again - here is a wonderful take on a haunted house idea.

I love how at first, it's just a mish-mash of doodles and color, but it's all actually well organized, and the colors are the perfect match.

Here is abeauytoful mponthly log and I love how the creator made the atmospjhere and theme very clear by just uysing a few small doodles and the fitting colors.

I'm out of words for how incredibly beautiful this tracker is! Gold and black are such an absolutely stunning combination.

Oh, and tarot is such a cool idea for an October Bullet Journal setup.

If you think about it, kitty ghost is very sad, but this little guy is so adorable.

I really wish I could see this tracker finished; the oranges must look absolutely gorgeous.

I love this one, in many ways, because it so smoothly incorporated mandalas into this Halloween theme.

I love mandalas; it's really a wonderful way to destress and have a creative moment. They also are awesome at decorating your journal pages.

I love this more medical approach to drawing skulls, and honestly, I admire that she could draw the entire skeleton to be anatomically correct. 

If I tried that, it would definitely be disproportionate.

Incredibly cute mood tracker! And I find that it's a very fun idea to add expressions to your ghosts instead of colors.

Julia makes everything look so pretty!

I must say that eventually, the colors kind of blend in, and it's not like you clearly see what the dominant mood was that month. However, it's complete with it, as it transforms this page into a stunning illustration.

I don't know how this tracker can be so creepy, but at the same time, so cute. Freddy is kind of adorable here.

Also really love all the fonts used here on the theme, and looking great.

I can't remember where this illustration is from, but I know it's a martian, and it's hands down creepy.I can't remember where this illustration is from, but I know it's a martian, and it's hands down creepy.

Hayley has such beautiful and well-organized weekly spreads. Her signature is definitely the awesome tabs she's creating for all her monthly setups.

I don't use this weekly format - it's a bit too disorganized for me.  But I can't help but love this spread with the most beautiful and adorable drawings ever.

Beautiful drawings, and I like how she made The Wizard of Oz a Halloween theme. I guess it makes sense with the two witches.

Also, isn't it amazing how she created different textures for the dresses with simple lines and dots?

I really like this format; it's well-organized, but you also have a lot of space in the middle for decoration.

The gentle colors of this pumpkin illustration are absolutely magical.

These pumpkins are perfectly creepy, and I love the font she used for the header.

Also, it's a fun concept for a weekly spread; I never tried that before.

Barbara has such a fun and cartoony style to her pages!

I'm also loving that for decorating, she has an entire blacked-out part. She really made her doodles work on a black background.

Addams's family is, of course, a Halloween classic. I was so so happy to see that it finally came to Netflix.

This would be a wonderful illustration for a cover page as well.

So bright and happy, and yet it's all orange; you can feel the Halloween on this page.

I also really like the structure of this spread; there is so much space and place for everything.

Here is my weekly spread from a Halloween setup. That month, I went all-in with Dutch door weeklies.

I mention using a blackout book a lot, but you should know that, of course, not all the pens work there, but any metallic gel pens would work marvelously! My top choice is Sakura Gelly Roll pens.

Beautiful page, and so much effort is put into coloring it all!

I also really enjoy that there is a quote of the week section. I'm all for a good quote; it's always a powerful instrument to give you more motivation and energy.

CIrcle weekly is not my favroite format or the most practical one, but it is fun to play with, and it givesy ou so much space toa dd any doodles or other elements you need in your wekely layout.

Such a lovely weekly spread; I just had to include it in the list. It's so cute and bright!

Weekly spreads don't have to be overcomplicated to look good; here is a wonderful example.

Black, white, and orange, and bang - you have a beautiful Halloween-themed weekly spread.

For some reason, this hat makes me think of Sir Terry Pratchett and his Discworld book series.

Whether this was the intention or not - I love this cute little illustration.
