Haunted Effects – Ghost, Ectoplasm & Curse VFX (HD)

HD effects for top-down games. 20 ghostly effects for horror and Halloween games: ectoplasm splashes, pools and drips, soul wisps (single, rising and orbiting), ghost mist, a spectral trail in 8 directions, spectral, shadow and ectoplasm spawn-ins, a shadow smoke burst, a void aura and curse sigils in purple and green.

Colour variations and combinations

22 colour variations of the effects in Crimson, Violet, Gold and Emerald (ColourVariations folder), with the same frame size, frames, FPS, pivot and Godot 4 SpriteFrames as the originals, so they swap in without re-aligning.

4 combinations: a curse sigil summon, an ectoplasm sigil summon, a shadow smoke spawn and ghost mist with rising souls. Each is a ready-made chain or layer of the effects in this pack: every clip of a combination shares one frame size and pivot, so they play one after another without re-aligning.
