"COSTUME PARADE THIS WAY" is a Halloween direction sign for a community kids' event, in a bold, playful style. Glowing orange rounded letters with green slime drips are stacked in two lines beside a large orange arrow, set against a purple night sky with a full moon, bats and a haunted house. Swap in your own event name, direction and wording to make a sign for your party or parade.

Create a finished, wide landscape Halloween directional sign for a school carnival, designed to read instantly from several steps away. Render only the exact words “COSTUME PARADE THIS WAY”; no other lettering, numbers, labels, or symbols that resemble text. Set the phrase in two large lines on the left: “COSTUME PARADE” above “THIS WAY”. Use thick, upright, wide-set rounded block capitals with open counters, simple shapes, even heavy strokes, and generous spacing; preserve every letter and keep the words crisp at thumbnail size. Letter faces are vivid pumpkin orange with a clean pale-cream keyline and a restrained warm inner glow. Add only a few small green slime drips at the bottom of selected letters, never crossing or obscuring the letterforms. On the right, place one oversized, unmistakable orange arrow pointing right. Add three small black bat silhouettes as sparse accents near the arrow and upper corners, clear of the lettering. Keep all critical elements inside generous print-safe margins. Use a deep spooky-purple background, with a softly glowing full moon tucked behind the arrow and only faint, low-contrast Halloween-night silhouettes at the far edges; keep the area behind the words plain and uncluttered. Strong flat contrast, sharp edges, simple graphic shading, no gore, no busy texture, no extra props near the text. Print-ready sign composition, clear reading order, bold shapes, high legibility.
