Pumpkins, fog and candles

Spooky Portrait: candle-lit halloween. Spooky Portrait gives your photo the feel of a Halloween movie still. Candles set a moody glow, carved pumpkins light up nearby, a light fog rolls in and autumn leaves scatter around you, while your outfit becomes a subtle gothic costume. It's dark and dramatic, made for a Halloween post or profile picture. Your face, identity, skin tone, body shape and expression are written to stay exactly as they are. It's featured in the Spooky season row on Explore from 1 October to 2 November, and you can use it from Edit › Styles all year.
