All Hallows’ Eve isn’t just about kids and candy. Why not get into the festive spirit by including your motorcycle into your Halloween plans? We’re all about safety out on the road, but there’s no reason that you can’t have a little fun with it. We assembled a collection of helmets that could easily be incorporated into a costume, or used all year-long.

Check out some of our favorite Halloween-inspired motorcycle helmets that will be sure to earn you a few double takes:

Venom

If you’re ready to turn some heads this Halloween, check out the HJC RPHA 12 N Venom 3 Helmet. Huge rows of sharp teeth line the aerodynamically refined shell, and a wild tongue wraps around the back of the lid. Get ready to make this Marvel character come to life out on the road.

Bumblebee

HJC teamed up with Hasbro to create a unique helmet that features a fan-favorite character from the Transformers universe. The Bumblebee design adorns the F71 helmet to not only offer protection, but also a collector’s item for fans.

Sonic the Hedgehog

If you’re nostalgic for the classic Sega games you played as a kid, or perhaps a fan of the film franchise of the same name, you may be interested in channelling your inner Sonic the Hedgehog. Just be careful to watch your speedometer so you don’t get yourself into trouble with law enforcement by hitting supersonic speed.

Glow in the Dark Skull

This Icon helmet would be ideal for any night riders out there. The skull looks epic in the daylight, but when night arrives, the entire helmet glows in the dark. Get ready to creep out your friends and fellow passersby. Added bonus: it will actually make you more visible.

Zombie Motorcycle Helmet

If you’re a fan of The Walking Dead, or anything zombie-related – this is the Halloween helmet of your dreams…or nightmares. Dallas Airbrush created this creepy, bloody, downright ghoulish lid and we think it’s perfectly spooky for the season.

Black Cat

Superstition dictates that a black cat crossing your path is a bad omen, but no one said anything about dressing up as one. This helmet makes any riding outfit into something fun and festive.

Creepy Clown

If you want to get in the Halloween spirit, but already have a helmet you love – check out these affordable helmet covers that will give you the most bang for your buck.

Evil Pumpkin

If you’re craving some attention out on the road, you’re in luck with this helmet cover. Fellow riders and drivers won’t be able to miss you while wearing this bright orange pumpkin cover. You might get a few points and stares, but it’s all in good fun.

Evil Rabbit

This rabbit is definitely creepy, but we’re not so sure about evil. Either way, you’re going to turn some heads in this bad boy.
