With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to take a look at some spooky ideas to get the best out of your Rivian for Witchin’ Night!
We’re going to dive into some Rivian owner-created spooky inspirations down below, but before that, let’s take a look at what Rivian is delivering soon with its upcoming Halloween Update!
Halloween Mode
Every year, Rivian delivers a Halloween-themed update to its vehicles, and this year isn’t going to be any different. Actually – it is! Rather than one thematic flavor, Rivian is delivering at least two this year!
While it's less spooky than bats, Knight Rider ought to send a shiver up some criminals' spines as it watches over your house for Halloween. Maybe Gear Guard Garry will moonlight as K.I.T.T.?

Next up, Rivian also included another classic – we’re going Back to The Future! This one is super cool, and we’re sure someone is going to have their Rivian equipped with a Flux Capacitor this coming Halloween. Just make sure you get all 1.21 gigawatts of electricity you need! Gear Guard Garry will likely be rockin’ that Doc Brown outfit, otherwise he’ll be dressed up as Marty McFly.

Rivian always has plenty of goodies with their yearly Halloween Mode that comes in October. Be sure to check out what Rivian included in the 2022 and 2023 versions of Halloween Mode.
Owner Inspirations
Most of these creations are from the Rivian community forums – but we’re going to highlight our favorites.
Up first is Killer95Stang, with a vampiric Rivian and tentacles!
Next up, DTown3011 made an absolutely spectacular display with a skeleton and spooky mist! The cobwebs and spiderwebs over the headlights really complete the look.
Over on Reddit, user whoshartedmypants put together an ECTO-R1 on photoshop to go ghostbusting with. Maybe someone will put it together in real life?
Another Reddit user, Needs_More_Boost, put this cool display together. The next step is to fill that frunk with candy! Or so we say, but user ejb8705 on Reddit did just that and lit them up, too!
And last, but not least, back from the Rivian forums is user PeterSK, with a truly horrifying hand hanging out of the mid-gate of their R1S.
All of these are inspiring and we’re looking forward to what the community comes up with this year, especially with the new light bar effects. If you’ve put something cool together, give us a tag on social media. We look forward to your spooky Halloween Rivian displays!
