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 that we have to put our beloved spooky Halloween in a much-needed perspective and reflect on both its absurdity and its fun. And there’s no better way to do that than to take a good scroll through the Halloween memes we've 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.
Pits are a scary breed of dog without giving them demon looking horns. You should have giving him a wig with pigtails or something to make him look less threatening. pitbull-wi...b07b34.jpg
My pit bulls will only wear hats lol, they would never let me do this lol
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.”
every damn year,I cut my candy pieces in half and test on them to find that they were perfectly good and normal 🤬
Load More Replies...really tired of not finding free drugs or being offered like the Raegans promised.
Me too! I've lived for 30 years and I've never been offered free drugs by a stranger!
Load More Replies...No idea where these rumours come from - no one likes your kids enough to give them free drugs. Those things are expensive!
Reminds me of one of the early episodes of Degrassi Jnr High- two girls say their mothers told them there would be pushing drugs on them at Jnr High, but they haven't been asked even once and are disappointed :) so then a guy who overheard them sells them drugs, which turn out to be vitamins
ikr im truamatized i need at least 8 years of therapy
Load More Replies...Horrifying???!!! How DARE you?!! That is an *adorable* ghost caught on tape
OMG. Went right over my head until this second. Must get some sleep.
Load More Replies...It's a ghost...stuck on a roll of tape...caught on tape, like 'caught on camera'
Load More Replies...There will be people who don't get this joke becauythey don't know that things used to be recorded on tapes. Now that's spooky!
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
wait... she wears green, right? emerald green? the Slytherin House color? despite being head of Gryffindor?
Load More Replies...I love Prof. McGonagall, I’m on the 6th book. Haven’t stopped crying over Padfoot and Filch missing 1 and 2. (I’m trying not to spoil anything. 😅
That cloak is AWESOME. If I had that cloak, I'd wear that thing EVERYWHERE.
not trying to be rude but how is that dark humor?

Load More Replies...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.
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!"
My snickers contained the doorway to the Beyond portion of Bed Bath and Beyond.
I'm jealous this kid gets a gateway to hell and I get plain rolos instead🤬
This is so my significant other and me, only I'm the one on the left and she's the one on the right. 🤣🤣
Both! (Even after waking up to find I hadn't got all of last night's make up off)
I was so into making my costume work so I could go hang out at my friend's haunt and scare some folks this year. Then stuff happened and now I can't be scary :( I mean, getting covid is scary, but not the kinda scary I wanna be.
And always crying at the one toy aisle in every other store imaginable... but it was Toys R Us where we could cry anywhere, any aisle, tantrums available in all sections!

"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!”
Miraculous...simply the best...up to the test when things go wrong...(lol reply if you get the reference)
It’s way more amusing now knowing the Michael mask is a bleached Captain Kirk mask
i made zombie cupcakes they were double choclate and had vanilla icing dyed green with pink sparkly brains poking out
Halloween month starts, I load into Halloween mode, I stand too close to a pumpkin, I explode. Repeat.
And we eat that right up without fail. BBL gotta hunt some pumpkin-headed monsters.
I always like to think the candy companies are like this at the big meetings. "Alright guys. We got most of our old overhead batches out for Halloween. Now we'll send off the rest for Christmas. We got our graphic designers creating some festive artwork for the wrappers. Maybe change the colour of the coating on the M&Ms. Those kids won't care there's no difference. But we gotta hustle now to make room for the new stuff we're now making for next year." (I know it's not super funny, but I'm sure it's very accurate.)
Halloween candy is getting more and more expensive to buy in the large packages @_@
And more places don't do the half off sale the day after!
Load More Replies...Candy companies counting der halloween cash until nov 1st then its christmas choc
Always make sure to get two; they're social creatures and get lonely!
There should be no Christmas isle in October. Preferably no mention of Christmas until late November.
ash someone who loves christmas more then halloween. i totally agree with you
Load More Replies...Then forget Black Friday because it's going to be a straight massacre!
Walmart is replaceing Halloween with Christmas already :D it was fun to look at 'cause Halloween has never been my favorite holiday
I was about to start yelling at you, then I saw your username and can't stop laughing 😂

All the stores in my area are already decorated for christmas. They had Halloween stuff for like three weeks.
I’ve been playing “shake shake shake señora” all morning! Now I’ll never get it out of my head lol
We keep our 12 foot skeleton up year round and dress him in different costumes… and we just bought a 15 ft phantom too!
One of my neighbors got two of those 10 foot inflatable figures (a reaper and a ghost) that they leave on overnight and every morning the Reaper is bent backwards, and it's the funniest thing about my Halloween season.
My co-worker bought one of those, but it was stolen last week. She said she was mad, but she also has the footage from her Ring system showing the thieves, and them trying to get the 12 foot skeleton into their tiny car was ten minutes of comedy gold.
So many people in my neighborhood have the 12ft skeleton and one even have a werewolf. I want them both!
As a former Home Depot worker, dude, you have to buy your large Halloween decorations in before October 1st. The year I worked there the giant skeletons were gone by the middle of September. Same with Christmas stuff.

Load More Replies...No true introvert is actually having trouble with this. Only the band wagoners. Lights off.
Load More Replies...Exactly. So obvious a choice I don't even think about it.
Load More Replies...Set cauldron of candy outside. Or you can be the nice adult that doesn't make kids do anything for candy (like say trick or treat) cause you understand there are introverted kids too
Where I grew up we never got trick or treaters. Last year was my first time being home at my house that is close to downtown in my little town. Do people actually try and make people jump through hoops to get the candy? I just complimented costumes, and encouraged the kids and parents to take as much as they like. Later teens came by and they seemed surprised that I was still hanging out candy and they only took a little, even after me telling them I didn't want leftovers. The teens sounded like they were ready to be turned away. They want to be kids still and have fun. I hope they had a good night and I hope they come by again this year.
Load More Replies...Halloween stresses my pup out every year. We’re ‘lights out’ kinda people. So, when someone rings the doorbell, the plan is to ignore and go about our business. The dog, however, never gets the memo. Doorbell goes. Pup leaps to his feet and races to the front door to be first to confront the danger. Waits for us to walk up the hallway to the door to back him up…after a few seconds, charges back down the hallway and looks at us with incredulity sitting on the couch. Bell goes again. Dashes back to front door. We don’t appear. Races back down the hallway to stare frantically at his humans. Rinse and repeat. Days of confusion and him questioning everything he’s previously known to be true ensue. 😉😂
My driveway is 100m long. In 25 years of living here, not one trick-or-treater has even made the attempt.
They said “I am evil because I think skeletons do not immediately make something hilarious!” I’m furious
Load More Replies...bah, who needs plastic skulls when you've got real ones lying around. (I do, but not human ones. xD)
"Here Lewis! This is corn that tastes like candy!" (eats it) "This tastes like c**p"' And every year since then, Halloween is returned and I, like an Alzheimer's patient, find myself in a room, and the room has a table in it, and on the table, is a bowl of candy corn. And I look at it, as if I've never seen it before. "Candy corn," I think. "Corn that tastes like candy. I can't wait." (eats it) "SON OF A B***H!" I love AND agree with Lewis Black
I hope every person who glorifies that sh*tstain of a human learns their mistake.
Actually even watching the show would support it. If you’re saying “it’s bad” to dress up, and then go home and watch it you’re a hypocrite. Don’t support it at all or else more content like that will be released.
If you're going for truly scary, serial killers certainly qualify, though you don't need special clothes to "dress up" as one, since the scariest part is that they look just like normal humans. I mean, there are multiple iconographic characters that were inspired by Ed Gein, including Leatherface and Hannibal.
I'm not taking sides here, but I fail to see why this is a problem when a lot of people throughout the years have dressed as real serial killers, Bonnie and Clyde come to mind. And don't downvote me! I'm genuinely curious as to why some are ok, and some are not.
a girl i know at my school failed nnn to jeffry dahmer i really hate my school
the fact girls simped for a killer is bad what's dumb is the killer was gay
I know,happy Halloween have some updoots Screenshot...f15b90.png
Can we not judge people on what they do and don't celebrate?! Some financially can't do it and others just don't care for it
My youngest is at the "Halloween decorations are scary" stage, so no decorations this year.
This! Just moved last Feb. and only two houses out of 20 have Halloween decorations. This street is a bunch of fuddy duddies.
My classmates and I years ago were walking to the school from my house for the Halloween dance, we passed someone on the way who commented on my friends scarecrow costume by saying "nice Halloween costume", friends response: "Halloween, what's that?"
this year we are handing out full sized bars no more of that fun size
They're sugar cookies with pumpkin designs on them. They come in a tube, you just slice the dough and bake them.

I'm not really into horror, but I complimented a kiddo on his Pennywise costume.

Probably one of the best Halloween movies for kids! Even had Debbie Reynolds in it!
For kids? Pfft for all ages! Yup 35 and watching this movie on Halloween is on my checklist.
