19 Horror Villain Nail-Art Ideas That Might Just Be Scarier Than the Movies

Halloween will be here before we know it, and for those of us who are still figuring out our costumes and don't want to put all of our focus on Halloween makeup, over-the-top Halloween nail art is where it's at. While we love a good black cat manicure or any nail look that allows us to pay homage to Hocus Pocus, another slightly more sinister category of nail art we've been considering lately is inspired by some of the most iconic horror movie villains.

A quick search for nail-art inspiration on social media showed us that plenty of people out there are getting into the spirit of spooky season by decorating their nails with tiny portraits of famous movie villains like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and even Pennywise.
