Funny Halloween Phrases, Expressions, Quotes

Simon Nguyen
Halloween is the perfect excuse for children to do what may not be possible on any other day of the year. On Halloween, they can dress up in "pretty" costumes (for no particular reason), play scary pranks on their neighbors (without being disciplined), and consume as much sweet as they want (without a permission slip from their dentist). This makes up for the fact that the U.S. and UK do not officially observe Children's Day like the rest of the world. Let us enjoy this "scary day" with some amusing Halloween phrases, expressions, and quotes.
