Swinging Wake

Swinging Wake font by Sinister Fonts is a free scary display font. Built for dread on demand, it drips with splintered edges, thorny spikes, and inky clumps that feel torn from a weathered headstone. Its jittery rhythm and ragged texture pull the eye at large sizes, delivering instant haunted‑house energy without extra graphics.

Using Swinging Wake, headlines jump off haunted house posters, Halloween party invites, horror movie titles, escape-room branding, spooky podcast covers, and goth band merch. This free font shines when you give it space to breathe and crank the size; pair it with a clean condensed sans for body copy to amplify the menace while keeping everything readable.
