Halloween is almost upon us! Time to whip out your best costume (anyone considering a Sabrina Carpenter-inspired look this year?), prep some spooky-themed cocktails, and tell a Halloween joke or two. Let's face it, whether you're going to a blowout Halloween party or have a costume happy hour with your coworkers planned this season, chances are you could benefit from having a (yes, slightly cringe, and yes, slightly dad joke-like) spooky story to tell.

Maybe it's when you want to lighten the mood after watching a horror movie, or in the middle of a truly terrifying haunted house tour? No one is above a pun! These could easily serve as witty Instagram captions, quips to drop in your group text, or even as a timely Hinge profile prompt. The possibilities that holiday-themed puns hold are endless. With that, here are the best seasonal one-liners to have up your sleeve.
