# Vocal Halloween Apps Sainsbury's Voice-Changing App Lets Kids Take Costumes to a New Level By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-10-20 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voice-changing-app References: [fastcocreate](http://www.fastcocreate.com/3037261/this-brand-app-gives-kids-spooky-halloween-voices) & [youtu.be](http://youtu.be/j4lSr-6gHlk) This voice-changing app takes your Halloween costume beyond the visual format. Children can use it to make their disguise more convincing. From UK grocery store chain [Sainsbury's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mood-bears-sainsburys), the Spooky Speaker app transforms the speaker's voice into a terrifying tone. The brand worked with ad agency AnalogFolk London to develop the mobile application for iOS and Android. To use the voice-changing app, kids can record words or sentences (like [trick or treat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-pack), for example) into the app and play it back in a distorted way. The app's voice options include Frankenstein's monster, a pirate, a skeleton, a vampire, a witch or a zombie. The free app lets people dressing up for Halloween to take their outfits to the next, audible level so your voice can match the costume. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Voice-changing Apps:** There is a growing trend of voice-changing apps that enhance the Halloween costume experience. - **Augmented Halloween Costumes:** Augmented reality technology is being integrated into Halloween costumes to provide an immersive and interactive experience. - **Mobile App Development:** The development of mobile applications for Halloween costumes is becoming more popular, allowing users to enhance their disguises with digital features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the growing trend of voice-changing apps by offering specially designed costumes and accessories that integrate seamlessly with these apps. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage augmented reality technology to create unique and engaging Halloween experiences, such as interactive haunted houses or virtual reality Halloween events. - **Mobile App Development:** The mobile app development industry can seize the opportunity to create innovative and user-friendly applications that enhance the Halloween costume experience, opening up new avenues for creativity and self-expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spooky AR Yogurt Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-edition-halloween-packaging.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Creepy Autumnal Snack Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkers-halloween-packs.md) - [Real-Time AI Voice Changers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supertone-shift.md) - [Financial Support Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-haunt-me.md) - [Sensorial Horror-Inspired Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prank-pack.md) - [Spooky Interactive Yogurt Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chobani-flip-greek-yogurt.md) - [App-Only QSR Halloween Deals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/app-deals.md) - [Halloween-Themed Beverage Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-onpack-promotion.md)
