Scary Coloring Pages – (Not Only) For Kids

No matter how you look at it, coloring with the children is one of the highest-quality activities you can do with them. Coloring allows them to develop their motor skills (fine motor skills, if we understood the definitions correctly) and imagination. She shows children why it is important to keep boundaries, literally, or even how to express what they see or know creatively. But we are on a site dedicated to horror, so we will not tell you about the traditional coloring pages of animals, Mickey Mouse, Disney’s Princesses, Winnie the Pooh, or other friends. Scary coloring pages are not the first gift you want to buy for your children in most cases, but for fans of the genre and those who want to raise “heirs,” this can be a great choice.

The Benefits Of Scary Coloring Pages

So why even think about considering scary coloring pages for your little ones? On the face of it, you can think of coloring pages that are more suitable for the age when the little ones start to babble, color quite freely, and at a later stage, also choose appropriate colors and keep them within the lines. Coloring pages from the world of horror – and later, we will address some widespread options in this context – can also add visual appeal to the equation. You can find a wide variety of designs and styles here according to your preferences or your children’s. This type of coloring can be an experiential activity that you perform together with your children (“Remember the clown from your last birthday? So it’s Pennywise, and he’s a little scarier than him”) or if you want a way to teach them a little about the images that have accompanied you for decades.

Coloring pages, traditionally, are a way of self-expression. So much so that many treat coloring as a therapeutic activity in the full sense of the word. In this context, a scary coloring page can allow children to express their feelings, even those considered deeper and more complex. At some point, they may ask questions about topics considered more complex, like death, for example, and coloring pages can be a creative way to bridge them. In vampires and ghosts, for instance, they can also come across other texts adapted to them – hell, our girls plow through the songs about the ghost and Count Mikola from “Mickey Mouse Friends Club” – so why not also in their coloring pages?

It is important to note that we do not absolutely and unequivocally recommend exposing your children to coloring pages that are considered scary. They may not be suitable for your children’s stage or may scare or confuse them. There is nothing wrong with drawing animals, unicorns, or Raw Patrols’ dogs. You ultimately know what is right for your children and should also use your parental intuition concerning usage of horror coloring pages.

The first booklet we will review contains 33 coloring pages, combining well-known quotes from horror movies and designs of serial killers and famous villains. Don’t expect second-life quotes from philosophical horror movies here, but rather sayings we can quote already in our sleep: the famous “want to play a game” that appears on the page dedicated to Billy the Doll from the Saw movies, or “No. You hang up first!” Appearing on the page devoted to the illustration of Ghostface from “Scream” with a telephone in his hand.

Creepy Chibi Horror Coloring Book

Creepy Chibi Horror Coloring Book


“Cute” isn’t the first connotation that comes to mind when we think of great horror icons, but the following booklet may prove otherwise. The booklet from the Adorable Chibi Horror Coloring Series by an artist named Gary Lawson includes the familiar villains in a small version, drawings… and cute, to a certain extent. They may look like figures from some of the more typical horror collections, such as Funko Pops, Horror Bobble Heads or various action figures, but they have some unique characters.

In practice, Chibi is a Japanese drawing style designed to express “adult” characters exaggeratedly and childishly, partly with the help of huge heads, simplified facial features with large eyes, small to non-existent noses and mouths, short limbs (which makes the characters “chubby” “) and sometimes an exaggerated expression.

We have found eight notebooks of horror coloring pages in this very cool style; in each, you will find about 30 scary coloring pages. The notebook presents the famous icons, such as Freddy Krueger (“A Nightmare on Elm Street”), Pennywise (“It”), Michael Myers (“Halloween”), Jason Voorhees (“Friday the 13th”), Pennywise (“Texas Chainsaw Massacre”), “Annabelle” (the “Annabelle” films and the cinematic universe of “The Conjuring”), Sam (“Trick R Treat”), Pinhead (“Hellraiser”) and many, many others.
