While you feast on all that candy, laying high on sugar while watching a new Netflix drama about serial killers totally ready to sleep with your lights on like a grown-up child, you gotta make sure to do one more thing, and that’s not opening yet another bag of candy corn.
What I mean is we have to put our beloved spooky Halloween in a much-needed perspective and reflect on both the absurdity and the fun of it. And there’s no better way to do that than to take a good scroll through the Halloween memes we wrapped up for you to enjoy. Scroll down and upvote your favorite ones as you go!

While we all excitedly wait for Halloween, decorating our garden, sorting out the spookily delish menu for the party and getting ready to dress to impress, it may be just as tempting to simply sit on the sofa, watch movies, and munch on candy all day.
So in order to find out how to get the best out of Halloween, we spoke with Maggie Jackson, a lifestyle expert blogger, TV host, and frequent contributor to KTLA Morning News in Los Angeles. Being a mom of two toddlers, Maggie Jackson shares tips to make families' lives more fun, healthier, and easier, including simple recipes and product recommendations.
Halloween is the kick-off to the holiday season, says Jackson, and a great time to start making memories with your family. “Annual family traditions, like visiting the pumpkin patch, carving a pumpkin and baking pumpkin bread together, are important for little ones to create a sense of belonging.”
According to Jackson, “your family Halloween tradition can be as simple as visiting the costume store together or you can go deeper and volunteer at a local pumpkin patch that gives back to a nonprofit.”
For those who don't know where to start, Jackson’s tip is to google local seasonal events. “Your family will love feeling a part of your community as you visit local pumpkin displays, haunted houses and festive hay rides,” she said.
To be honest, if I got to be Professor McGonagall, I'd dress like that all the time
Thank you! If they're not offending anyone, they should be able to wear whatever they like - whether it be silly or sexy.
Load More Replies...I've said it before and got downvoted for it but here I go again. I have done both, I'm a huge nerd and nerdy costumes have always been so much fun for me even if no one knew what I was except me and my partner. I also enjoy feeling confident and sexy, and just dressing up. Halloween is the time of year where I don't feel out of place for wearing something a little more revealing in public so once in awhile I'll do sexy costumes. Why are women being boxed into a category because of one day a year? Can't we just wear whatever the hell we want as long as we're not blatantly offensive and you just mind your own business? You ladies stand on one side preaching feminism and then turn around and judge the girls who have the confidence to show skin. Just live and let be.
There are more than two kinds of women on Halloween. I don't see a creepy, scary costume here, so there are at least three.
Reminds me of a joke. Why do millennial girls hang out in groups of 3? Because THEY CAN'T EVEN! 👻
I like the blueberry... one of my favourite films as a child, although Gene Wilder's W***y Wonka was rather terrifying! (Edited. Apparently little Williams get censored on BP... LOL)
And some people are into the left costume like folks may be into the right costumes. Otherwise this is a silly not like other girls thing.
Look, I have no opinion one way or the other, but exactly what are the three on the right supposed to BE? Clones of each other..? Or have I missed a huge movie/tv series again?
I see camouflage and dog tags, so I'm guessing "sexy soldiers"

ugh. All I ask is that you dress for the club 364 nights a year and dress to scare children just 1 NIGHT A YEAR!
Women: Cat wiskers drawn on and fish nets That's what they've turned Halloween into because they have no creativity
Moreover, traditions at home are important, too. “Bake apple crisp together, deck out the home in Halloween decor, create "boo bags" for your neighbors, and go trick-or-treating, of course!”
When asked what to do when it seems like every year it's becoming harder to make an impressive Halloween costume, Jackson believes that the perfect Halloween costume is one that you feel good in! “It doesn't matter if it's trendy, you made it at home or spent hundreds of dollars on it, as long as you feel confident and can have fun in what you're wearing!"
"Little kids, who could care less about making an impression on social media or at a party, are the perfect examples of choosing a costume that only matters to them,” Jackson said.
This year, Jackson said she was excited to coordinate a family costume, but her 4-year-old “insisted on wearing his exact same dinosaur costume from last year.” She added: “Meanwhile, my 2-year-old refuses to put on any costume I show her. It's been a great practice of releasing control and finding joy in the simple. I'm looking on the bright side: reusing last year's costumes is the most sustainable option - for my wallet and the environment!”
i made zombie cupcakes they were double choclate and had vanilla icing dyed green with pink sparkly brains poking out
We keep our 12 foot skeleton up year round and dress him in different costumes… and we just bought a 15 ft phantom too!
Ah yes how relatable. I also clone myself to look inside the windows. The more I can observe the more accurate i can be when finding the next designated spirit halloween store.
That would be so cool, seasonal ubers- a sleigh paint job for Christmas, a hearse for Halloween - and seasonal music
Probably one of the best Halloween movies for kids! Even had Debbie Reynolds in it!
The Spirit in my old city had a guaranteed home in the building that gym's perpetually tried to set up shop in. Sorry dude bros,. That town would rather get spoopy then get fit lol
I'm sorry, but the bodies orientation is bothering me. Is that an armpit, a neck, or a person on their side?
Ok no comments yet so I'll bite - WTheliteralF is up with the dude in the bottom panel??????? I desperately want to scroll away from this but somehow cannot. I feel like I need answers and will be haunted forever until I do.
What are those things? Seen them a lot but they don't have them here in UK I don't think
If you're in the US, look for where there used to be a Toys R Us or Pier One Imports or some other belly up chain and you will probably find a Spirit Halloween...but hurry
