It’s that time of the year: there’s a frightful chill in the air, one that cuts to your very bones. And though you may seek solace in the comfort of a warm, delicious cappuccino, to wrap you up like a frothy caffeinated blanket and make you feel safe, there will be no respite. Not when these ghoulish baristas and their scary latte art are afoot.

For 364 days, these groovy ghoulies pour you tulips, hearts, and rosettas to keep your Instagram double-taps churning. But for just one day of the year, as though under a blood moon spell, they etch, color, and free pour to their sinister dark heart’s delight. Ghouls, goblins, jack-o-lanterns, vampires–these underworld class latte artists are conjuring up something a little more macabre for All Hallows’ Day.

And while the laxative properties of coffee are widely known, these 13 frightful works of latte art will no doubt make you poop a little…from fear!
