🎃 Spooky Season is Here – A Halloween Landing Page Experience

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

🕸️ What I Built

For this year’s Halloween Frontend Challenge, I created a spooky interactive landing page titled “Spooky Season is Here” 👻.

The idea was simple:
I wanted to design a dark, atmospheric webpage that instantly feels like Halloween—with moving fog, flying bats, glowing pumpkins, and creepy effects that surprise visitors.

So I built a fully animated single-page experience using HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript (no libraries, no frameworks—pure front-end fun).

🧟‍♂️ Main Highlights:

Dynamic fog layers floating across the screen for atmosphere
Animated bats, ghosts, and spider webs that make it feel alive
Floating pumpkins that react when clicked
A “Join the Fright Night” button that triggers an explosion revealing a scary creature 👹
Reset button to restore calm after chaos
Random spiders dropping every few seconds 🕷️

Every effect was crafted with simple CSS animations and JavaScript DOM magic.

🧙‍♀️ Journey

Building this project felt like mixing a digital potion of CSS gradients, keyframes, and emojis.

Here’s what I learned and enjoyed along the way:

💨 Layered Animations: Creating a fog effect using multiple transparent SVG layers drifting at different speeds made the atmosphere more realistic.
💡 Pure CSS Glow: Using text-shadow and gradient tricks gave the Halloween lights that eerie orange-red glow.
💥 Event-Driven Fun: The explosion effect that reveals the monster was made using simple JS class toggles, @keyframes, and a sprinkle of timing with setTimeout().
🧩 No Framework Needed: I realized how much can be achieved with clean HTML and CSS alone—perfect for small creative challenges like this.
🕷️ Attention to Detail: The random spider drop script was my favorite part—it adds subtle, ongoing movement that keeps the scene “alive.”
