See the number of days countdown until Halloween via Push Notifications on the App's icon badge (or Apple Watch, also with complications), listen to music (built-in or your own), and see animated characters that get bigger as Halloween gets closer displayed on the included background images or use your own picture. • The number of days until Halloween is displayed on the icon's badge and it is updated every morning without having to run the app (Push Notifications). • Apple Watch app displays days remaining, graphical indicator, day of the week and date. The number of days until Halloween can be displayed as a watch face complication. Changing the color of the countdown text from your mobile device will change the color of the text on the Apple Watch. • Select one of 12 haunting background musical soundtracks. Select one or automatically play all the songs in a repeating sequence. Select Airplay to play the music to your Apple TV. • Pick music from your own music library. The title and album art of the playing song are displayed. • Shake/tap a character to see and hear an effect. • Select to display either days or hours/minutes/seconds. • Tap the countdown text to cycle between 8 different colors. • Update your Facebook with the days to Halloween. • See the animated character grow to full size and then shrink back down based on the number of days left until Halloween. The closer the date gets to Halloween, the bigger the animated character will grow. The character will then move off the screen in different patterns. • Animated characters include a skull, pumpkin, ghost, cat, zombie, witch, frankenstein, pirate and a bat. • Select any background image from your device's photo album or use one of the 3 included haunted images. • Enable/disable/hide the character animation. • Enable/disable device sleep. • See the day of the week for October 31 each year and for the next 4 years.
