The best Halloween videos take place on a dark and stormy night. Lucky for you, it’s easy to control the weather with iMovie video effects. Lightning, rain and fog will really set the mood in your Halloween videos.

2. Earthquakes for Halloween Videos

The most intense Halloween videos can add earthquakes to the thunder and lightning recommended above.

3. Magic for Halloween Videos

Not all Halloween videos have to be scary. Halloween videos about wizards and witches are welcome as well, and for them there’s the Fairy Dust effect. Use it to add a magic spark to any Halloween video.

4. Insects for Halloween Videos

You know those scary Halloween videos where the insects take over? Well, you can create the fly’s eye effect in your Halloween videos using the N-Square video effect.

5. Haunted House Mirrors for Halloween Videos

Want to create that freaky mirror effect in your Halloween Videos? Use the Bump Distortion effect; it lets you create bulges and elongations in your video, just like those creepy mirrors.
