About this
Note: this page is a quote roundup article, not a single film, series, book, podcast, album, game or attraction; 'book' was selected as the closest available media type and confidence is therefore low. YourTango collects 51 Halloween quotes meant to cover every mood of the season, from creepy to comedic to romantic. Sources include romantic horror films and novels such as Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, Frankenstein and The Corpse Bride, alongside Shakespeare, Tim Burton, The Addams Family and Hocus Pocus. The lines are grouped into general spooky quotes, love quotes, funny quotes, movie quotes and cute quotes, and are offered as caption or message ideas instead of a plain "Happy Halloween." The page's own numbering repeats 13 and skips 21, so the entries below are ranked sequentially.
