GhostBayou

GhostBayou font is a free scary display typeface that looks like letters carved from shadow and swamp mist. Its jagged, uneven strokes and dripping silhouettes feel like something half-seen through fog, with shapes that wobble between twisted trees and ghostly faces. The texture is bold and inky, so every word hits like a shriek on a dark path.

Using GhostBayou, horror titles, haunted house posters, Halloween invitations, escape room branding, spooky party flyers, game logos, and eerie YouTube thumbnails all gain an instant chill factor. This free font works best large, where its rough edges and irregular forms can breathe; pair it with a clean, light sans serif for body text to keep everything readable but still ominous.
