How to Cast Your Spell

Joining is simple. No midnight rituals or forest sacrifices required.

1. Choose a Halloween look that speaks to your dark side: a wicked witch, a fallen angel, or your own seductive spin on the theme. Or, create an eerie backdrop with pumpkins, cobwebs, bats, and candlelight. Do both if you want your room to feel like a true den of temptation
2. Record a 30-second video (MP4, MOV, or MPEG)
3. Go to My Details → Stream Specifics on your broadcasting page
4. Select Halloween: After Dark and upload your sample video
5. Wait for approval and be ready to open the doors of your haunted playground when the event kicks off

After You’re Approved

After your preview video is approved, the Halloween: After Dark category will appear in your Stream Specifics. Select it each time you go live during the event dates.

And remember, every Halloween stream has to meet the event requirements. It might take a bit of effort, but that’s what sets your show apart. The time you put into your look and setup is what transforms an ordinary stream into a real Halloween experience.

Last but not least, match your Tip Menu and show topics to the event. Add a few wicked twists or playful dares to keep your audience under your spell.

Tired of streaming from a creaky old attic? Mix it up with your usual shows. And remember, turn on your Halloween: After Dark stream only if you're ready, with your outfit on and (or) props in their places.

Ideas to Awaken Dark Fantasies

Here’s some inspiration to awaken your alter ego. Try:

Costumes: Anything goes. From classic Halloween icons to fantasy creatures, superheroes, or playful original looks. Choose whatever fits you and your brand best. Want to be a flower fairy or a fierce Kratos from God of War? Go for it. Or invent your own spooky-sexy persona. Let your creativity run wild. We’re cheering you on.

Pro tip: Choosing a costume isn’t an all-or-nothing thing. Celebrity Halloween looks can be super inspiring, but they usually take hours and a full team. Heidi Klum’s transformations are iconic, yet not something most of us can pull off at home every day. Plan your costume and makeup, focus on the details, and you’ll nail the vibe without layers of prosthetics.

Note: Fake blood is allowed, but please use it in moderation. Avoid violent or disturbing imagery. We’re here for thrilling pleasure, not actual nightmares.

Makeup: Just like with costumes, you’ve got complete freedom. Think smoky eyes, glitter skulls, neon accents, blood-red lips, pale, glowing skin… You do you, literally.

Pro tip: Leaning into a fantasy vibe? Try colored contacts for an otherworldly stare. Pitch-black, cat-like, or a secret third thing, they can transform your image in mere seconds. Masks are another timeless way to add mystery and captivate your audience. Speaking of masks, Catwoman’s black half-mask is seductive by default, but if you can make Michael Myers look sexy, we’re all for it.

Decor: You’ve seen it a thousand times, but it never gets old. Jack-o’-lanterns, cobwebs, bats, skulls, dripping candles, and more. If you want a more cohesive backdrop instead of just scattering pumpkins around, take inspiration from haunted houses, Halloween parties, or your favorite horror movie.

Mood: Dark and seductive. Go for a blend of mystery, thrill, and playful fear that keeps your viewers intrigued and wanting more.

Pro tip: Borrow a trick or two from haunted attractions. Lighting does most of the work when it comes to creating that creepy atmosphere everyone pays to experience. Keep it dim, throw in some color, maybe a flicker or two. Add sound effects, and let your fans feel like they’ve just entered your lair.

Don’t miss your chance to thrill, tease, and terrify. Step into the dark, and give your fans something to scream for.
