Today I will use some tricks to get a very interesting scary text. We can get a black, old and petrified wood effect with a nice realistic looking.

To make it, we need to use this free text generator and configure it like informed:
- Stone Style: choose the seventh option image;
- Text: scary (choose yours);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: FFFFFF;
- Dark stone color: 404020;
- Bright stone color: 80A0C0;
- Draw Shadow: checked;
- Shadow offset: 3;
- Shadow dispersion: 2;
