Halloween Quotes and Sayings

As though it were a slightly sour sweet.
Let terror, then, be turned into a treat…

Is pretend that nothing can frighten you
And if somethin’ scares you and you want to run
Just let on like it’s Hallowe’en fun.

Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!”
Dexter Kozen
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

On Halloween…
The witches fly
Across the sky,
The owls go, “Who? Who? Who?”
The black cats yowl
And green ghosts howl,
“Scary Halloween to you!”

Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said, “Never take candy from strangers.” And then they dressed me up and said, “Go beg for it.” I didn’t know what to do! I’d knock on people’s doors and go, “Trick or treat.” “No thank you.”
Rita Rudner
Proof of our society’s decline is that Halloween has become a broad daylight event for many.
Robert Kirby
Where there is no imagination there is no horror.

Nothing beats a haunted moonlit night on All Hallows Eve…. And on this fatal night, at this witching time, the starless sky laments black and unmoving. The somber hues of an ominous, dark forest are suddenly illuminated under the emerging face of the full moon.

Come with me All Hallow’s night. We’ll frighten everyone in sight. Such pranks for once, are justified. And fun and frolic amplified.

‘Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.

‘Tis the night – the night
Of the grave’s delight,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The wild winds shout,
But no, it is they – it is they.
Arthur Cleveland Coxe
They that are born on Halloween shall see more than other folk.

What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.
Carolyn Wells
On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

Hark! Hark to the wind! ‘Tis the night, they say,
When all souls come back from the far away-
The dead, forgotten this many a day!
