πŸŽƒ Ultimate Haunted House - CSS Art

My submission for the Frontend Challenge: Halloween Edition! A fully animated haunted scene created with pure CSS (and just a sprinkle of emojis for fun).

✨ Features

This spooky scene includes:

  • 🏚️ Haunted House with flickering windows and evil glowing attic
  • πŸ‘» Floating Ghosts with wavy tails
  • πŸŽƒ Three Jack-o'-Lanterns with glowing faces
  • πŸ§™β€β™€οΈ Flying Witch on broomstick
  • πŸ¦‡ Four Bats flying across the moon
  • πŸ•·οΈ Spider & Web in the corner
  • 🐱 Black Cat with glowing eyes and wagging tail
  • πŸ¦‰ Owl perched in dead tree

Everything else is pure CSS shapes, gradients, and clever positioning!

🎯 What I Learned

  • How to layer multiple elements for depth
  • Creating complex shapes with simple CSS properties
  • Timing animations for a cohesive scene
  • Using gradients for atmospheric effects
  • Optimizing CSS for performance

Happy Halloween! πŸŽƒπŸ‘»
