LT Halloween
Joomla template for costume and party shops: a balloon counter showing how long each balloon floats, a Halloween floor, costume catalogue rows and a party year.
The Joomla demo is coming. The preview shows the same design on its WordPress version.
The Joomla version of this design is being rebuilt on the stack below. Until it is released, the download is the current version of LT Halloween for Joomla.
Key features
LT Halloween starts at the helium counter: each balloon is drawn as high as the time it stays up and as wide as its size, with its price under the string. Pages cover Halloween costumes, decades and themed parties, wigs, masks and face paint, party supplies, balloons, tableware, the shop and visiting, and every item has an ask-about link.
- The balloon counterBalloon height shows how long it floats and width shows its size, with the example price written under each string.
- Costume catalogue rowsCostumes, wigs, masks and face paint are listed with sizes, example prices and a link to ask about each item.
- A Halloween floor and a party yearA midnight band covers the busy season, and a party year lists what the shop stocks month by month.
- Quickstart or template packageStart from a full copy of the demo site (the quickstart package of the Pro editions, restored with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser) or add the template to a Joomla site you already run.
- Fonts that ship with itDynaPuff and Krub are bundled with the template, so pages make no requests to Google Fonts.
- Change it without codeColours, fonts, logo, header and footer are Helix Ultimate template options; page sections are edited in SP Page Builder Lite.

Two ways to install
- Quickstart package (Pro)A complete Joomla site with the template, the extensions and the demo pages, menus and modules, in Pro Standard and Pro Unlimited. Best for a new site: upload it to an empty folder and restore it with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser, then replace the sample texts and images.
- Template package (all editions)Only the template, and the only package in Free. Install it in System > Install > Extensions on a Joomla site you already have, then build your pages; the demo layout is not imported.
What an AI assistant can do for a Joomla site
No AI writes into your Joomla site by itself. These are the honest options today; you stay in control of every change.
- AI help in ticket support Available now with Pro Open a ticket and you get an instant AI-drafted answer; a person from our team follows up. Ticket support
- Texts for your pages Works with any AI assistant Ask an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to draft your page texts in your own words, then paste them into the SP Page Builder text editor and your Joomla articles.
- Small design changes Works with any AI assistant Describe the change and ask for CSS; paste it into Helix Ultimate's Custom Code tab and check the page before you save.
- AI kit WordPress version only The kit that lets an assistant edit pages safely (instructions, ready prompts, a checked import tool) exists for our WordPress themes only. Nothing in a Joomla site is changed by AI unless you paste it in. See the WordPress version

Questions
Is it only for Halloween shops?
No. Party supply stores, fancy dress hire shops and balloon decorators that trade all year can use it for their catalogue.
Do I need SP Page Builder Pro?
No. The pages use the free SP Page Builder Lite, with Convert Forms Free for the contact form; Helix Ultimate is free too.
Can customers pay online?
Not in this version. The shop pages are a product catalogue with example prices; each product links to the contact form (“Ask about this”).
Quickstart or template package: which one do I need?
Take the quickstart package for a new site that should look like the demo. Take the template package to restyle a Joomla site you already have; your content stays and the demo pages are not added.
Why does the preview open a WordPress site?
The Joomla demo of this design is not online yet. The Joomla version uses the same design and pages, so the preview shows what you get; the Joomla demo will replace it.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free is the template package with the footer credit. Pro adds the quickstart package (a full copy of the demo), credit removal and ticket support: Pro Standard for one website with a year of updates, Pro Unlimited for unlimited websites with lifetime updates.
