‘Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.
~William Shakespeare
Hold on, man.
We don’t go anywhere with
“scary,” “spooky,” “haunted,”
or “forbidden” in the title.
~From Scooby-Doo
When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween.
Bring forth the raisins and the nuts-
Tonight All-Hallows’ Spectre struts
Along the moonlit way.
~John Kendrick Bangs
One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
~Emily Dickinson
Where there is no imagination
there is no horror.
~Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.
A gypsy fire is on the hearth,
Sign of the carnival of mirth;
Through the dun fields and from the glade
Flash merry folk in masquerade,
For this is Hallowe’en!
Once in a young lifetime
one should be allowed
to have as much sweetness
as one can possibly want and hold.
~Judith Olney
Being in a band
you can wear whatever you want -
it’s like an excuse for Halloween everyday.
~Gwen Stefani
You wouldn’t believe
On All Hallow Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.
~Carolyn Wells
