Got your Halloween costume? Spooky Season is almost here!
Here are some spooky Halloween quotes to read or turn into Instagram captions.
“On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.”
Rodney Dangerfield
“Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn’t even the star of his own Halloween special [It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown].”
Chris Rock
“You know, I think this Christmas thing is not as tricky as it seems! But why should they have all the fun? It should belong to anyone! Not anyone, in fact, but me!”
Jack Skellington, The Nightmare Before Christmas
“[on his fear of the number 13] The number 13 never fails to trace that old icy finger up and down my spine. When I’m writing, I’ll never stop work if the page number is 13 or a multiple of 13; I’ll just keep on typing till I get to a safe number. I always take the last two steps on my back stairs as one, making 13 into 12. There were after all 13 steps on the English gallows up until 1900 or so. When I’m reading, I won’t stop on page 94, 193, or 382, since the sums of these numbers add up to 13.”
Stephen King
“But I love Halloween, and I love that feeling: the cold air, the spooky dangers lurking around the corner.”
Evan Peters
“Magic is really very simple, all you’ve got to do is want something and then let yourself have it.”
Aggie Cromwell, Halloweentown
“It’s all just a bunch of hocus pocus!, let’s light this sucker and meet the old broads.”
Max, Hocus Pocus
“Horror movies don’t date because they were dated to begin with, they were mannered and consciously so–Gothic tales with an unreality. They have the fun of a fairy tale.”
Vincent Price
“Oh, my dear, if you only knew how strange is the matter regarding which I am here, it is you who would laugh. I have learned not to think little of any one’s belief, no matter how strange it may be. I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane.”
Bram Stoker, Dracula
“Yes I now feel that it was then on that evening of sweet dreams- that the very first dawn of human love burst upon the icy night of my spirit. Since that period I have never seen nor heard your name without a shiver half of delight half of anxiety.”
Edgar Allan Poe
“Of all ghosts the ghosts of our old loves are the worst.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
“Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!”
William Shakespeare, Macbeth
“Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be his world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
“It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can’t be seen
On any other night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms
In masks and gown we haunt the street
And knock on doors for trick or treat
Tonight we are the king and queen,
For oh tonight it’s Halloween!”
Jack Prelutsky
“May Jack-o-lanterns burning bright, Of soft and golden hue, Pierce through the future’s veil and show, What fate now holds for you?”
Jerry Smith
It’s said that All Hallows’ Eve is one of the nights when the veil between the worlds is thin – and whether you believe in such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that it used to be their own. Even the air feels different on Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright.
Erin Morgenstern
“And our credo: ‘Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.’ ‘We gladly feast on those who would subdue us.’ Not just pretty words.”
Morticia, The Addams Family
