Curse & Code: A Haunted Hackathon Landing Page

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Halloween Edition, Perfect Landing

What I Built 🕸️💀

I created “Curse & Code”, a Halloween-themed landing page for a fictional spooky hackathon. The page invites developers to “code to survive the night”, complete eerie challenges, and win haunted prizes 🧙‍♂️🕷️.

Key features:

🖤 Glitchy hero section: “Hack or Be Haunted” with terminal-style typewriter effect.

🧹 Challenge Rules: Clearly presented with a Halloween vibe and a floating witch GIF.

🪦 Prizes Section: Tombstone-style cards with glowing text and shadow effects.

✨ Sign-Up / Call-to-Action: Pulsating email form to join the haunted hackathon.

🕸️ Footer: Social links with spooky hover effects and a fun copyright line.

👻 Animations: Floating fog, drifting radial lights, typewriter effect, flickering lights.

📱 Responsive design: Looks great on both desktop and mobile.

The design combines dark Halloween colors, glowing accents, and creepy typography to immerse visitors in a haunted coding experience. 🎃

Journey🕯️🧛‍♂️

Building this landing page was a thrilling challenge!

Highlights from my process:

• Planned each section: hero, rules, prizes, signup, and footer. 🧙‍♀️
• Combined CSS animations: fog drift, floating witch, flickering lights. 🌫️
• Used glowing and stroke text effects for headings to create a Halloween glow. ✨
• Implemented a typewriter effect in a terminal to give a haunted coding feel. ⌨️
• Ensured responsive design for mobile and desktop users. 📱

Next steps:

• Add background audio for subtle Halloween ambiance 🎵🦇
• Include interactive terminal challenges 🖥️👻
• Possibly implement light/dark mode toggle for day/night versions 🌗

I’m proud of how the design captures both the Halloween spirit and a developer-focused challenge 🎃💀.
