Halloween Night
🍷 A sinister cocktail brewed with the finest vampire blood, a splash of spiced pumpkin juice, crushed spider legs for texture, a dash of clown hair for an eerie twist, and topped with a sprinkle of grave soil for that final touch of dread. Sip... if you dare. Bon appétit!

The beloved Halloween Night theme, now ported to Zed. Originally built for VS Code, this dark Halloween-themed color scheme brings its signature moody purples, blood-red keywords, pumpkin-orange strings, and ghostly whites to your Zed editor.
