Every October someone at work signs us up for a Halloween trivia night, a costume contest or a pumpkin-carving showdown, and the very first question is always the same: “What’s our team name?” Then ten people stare at each other in silence.
So I made the list I wish I’d had. Here are 160+ Halloween team names, sorted by vibe: punny, spooky, funny, office-friendly, trivia, costume groups, family and group chats. If you’re still stuck, there’s a generator further down that will spit out a new one every click.
What Makes A Good Halloween Team Name?
- It’s a pun on something everyone knows. Song titles, movie titles and sayings with “boo,” “ghoul,” “witch” or “fang” swapped in are instant winners.
- It’s easy to say out loud. A host has to read it at trivia, and your coworkers have to cheer it. Short beats clever.
- It fits the crowd. Gory works for your friends. For an office contest, keep it spooky-cute.
- It can go on a shirt. If your group is doing matching costumes, the name should look good printed big.

Tips For Picking Your Team Name
- Brainstorm out loud. Give everyone two minutes to shout ideas, then vote. The worst pun usually wins.
- Check the vibe of the event. A kids’ party and a bar trivia night need very different names.
- Keep it short for scoreboards. Long names get cut off on whiteboards and screens.
- Match your costumes if you can. “The Hocus Pocus Sisters” is ten times better when you’re actually dressed as them.
- Save your runner-up. Next year’s Halloween is already sorted.
Need names for other teams too? I’ve got lists for study group names, teacher group names and, for your porch, pumpkin names. And if your team is going full spooky, steal a few from my witch names and ghost names lists.
