✨ 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

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