Now that October has arrived, you know what time it is… Halloween! Sure, it may officially last for a single day but, personally, I pretty much start to celebrate right when fall begins. So by the time October 1 comes around? I am all the more ready for the celebration of the spookiest season!

I do this through decorating my house, watching movies, and enjoying tasty treats, of course, but today I want to celebrate by sharing with you some of my favorite Halloween-time quotes. Some are from movies and songs while others come from everyday folks — but no matter their origins, they’re sure to get you in the spooky spirit!
