Halloween 3D is a playful dress-up scene for iPhone and iPad. A scarecrow stands on a hill under a drifting ring of clouds and a gnarled old tree; you decide what it wears, what surrounds it, and how the night looks. DRESS THE SCARECROW • Six pages of decorations around the edge of the screen: masks and heads, hats, shirts, pants and dozens of props. • Tap an item to put it on the scarecrow, tap again to take it off. Picking a new hat or mask swaps the old one out for you. • Pumpkins, lanterns and other lights glow on their own; pick a moon to hang in the sky. • Three hills to stand on: grass, stone, or snow with real snowflakes instead of leaves. • Clear All puts everything back to the bare scarecrow in one tap. SET THE SCENE • Lights on or off: turn the room lights down and the sky, clouds and tree fade so the glowing props stand out. • Shake the device for a flurry of autumn leaves (or snow on the snow hill) that spiral down around the scene. • Reset brings the camera, lights and decorations back to the start. LOOK AROUND • View mode hides the menu so you can drag to orbit the scarecrow and pinch to zoom; double tap to recenter. • Save a picture of your scene straight to your photo library. • Halloween music and sound effects, with a one-tap mute. Your scarecrow is saved when you leave and is waiting when you come back. No account needed. Halloween 3D is free and supported by a small banner ad that appears only while the decorations menu is showing; a one-time Remove Ads purchase takes it away for good. Happy Holidays!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Snow Globe Maker AR/VR holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Halloween 3D has 895 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Halloween 3D's written reviews are positive against 0% of Snow Globe Maker AR/VR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Halloween 3D ships an update every 6 months, Snow Globe Maker AR/VR every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
