Born from its culture of curiosity and creativity, full-service marketing agency Pounce has turned the parental headache of Halloween costumes into a fun, fast and free AI-powered Halloween Costume Generator ahead of this year’s spooky season.

Designed for families and anyone else who loves getting into the Halloween spirit, the online tool asks a few simple questions about the kids (or grown-ups), taking into account their personalities, favourite themes and creative prompts before generating unique costume ideas.

The generator pulls together creative design ideas inspired by pop culture, film, and imagination and for families with more than one little monster to dress, it acts as a tool to find costumes that pair well.

For Pounce, the project is more than a seasonal campaign. It’s a reflection of the agency’s belief that creativity should connect people, not just brands.

“Halloween is my favourite holiday in the world and every year the team finds a way to lift their game,” said Sim Kaur, founder and CEO of Pounce, a full-stack marketing agency in Australia and Malaysia.

“As a new mum, this project feels extra special to me. It’s playful, creative, and the perfect blend of family fun and Pounce’s curious spirit,” she said, adding that “it also helps me with some ideas for what to dress my little one up with when she’s a little older.”

The campaign, which began as a light-hearted idea in a team brainstorming session, with a few parents joking about how AI should be able to solve the “costume crisis”, quickly turned into a group passion project.

Within days, designers, developers, and copywriters came together to create something that celebrates what Halloween is really about: imagination and togetherness.

The Pounce Halloween Costume Generator is free to use on any web browser. Once ideas are generated, they can be shared in the online Costume Gallery, a space to showcase the season’s most creative (and occasionally chaotic) AI-inspired looks.
