Halloween hasn’t always been a time for loading up on candy. At one time, people dressed in costumes not to impress their friends and neighbors in hopes of sweet treats but to hide from ghosts![1]
Additionally, the original “Jack-O’-Lanterns” were carved into turnips, beets, or potatoes rather than pumpkins.[2]
Some things about the holiday have remained the same, though, like the involvement of cats, which once took part in a fortune-telling ritual during the Celtic Samhain festival that predates Halloween.[1]
Our modern Halloween rituals involve parties, parades, and trick-or-treating.
Halloween team names for trivia and other activities can play up the scary side of the October holiday or be purely fun.

Halloween Team Name Generator
How to Create a Great Halloween Team Name
A great Halloween team name can be horrifying, humorous, or recall classic Halloween legends.
Brainstorm with your team to create a cool Halloween team name using the following tips:
- Get spooky Halloween inspiration from movies and songs. Putting on a Halloween playlist or watching your favorite Halloween movies is a great way to get inspiration for creating a unique Halloween-themed team name. You can use the name of a song or movie, a lyric, a character, or a quote and adapt it into a name that’s perfect for your group.
- Think about scary and mythical creatures. Ghosts, ghouls, monsters, and werewolves haunt our minds during the Halloween season — and they make great subjects for team names! Instead of using just a single word as your team name, add a spooky descriptive word to create a chilling phrase like “The Lost Souls.”
- Look into the history of Halloween. Halloween’s history can be a great source of less common words and phrases that may make a unique Halloween team name. Consider forgotten traditions and the origins of the holiday for ideas.
- Ghost stories and urban legends may provide inspiration. From Casper, the cute and friendly ghost, to the horrifying headless horseman, everyone loves a good ghost story or urban legend. Whether the stories are widely known or have been passed down in your family, a word or phrase inspired by a spooky story can make for an awesome team name.
