These Hilarious Halloween Puns Will Scare You Silly

By the time October rolls around, every grocery store aisle is bookended with huge bags of candy. Costume coordination becomes a standard topic of conversation, and…hey when did that Spirit Halloween show up? But out of all of those things, we know that the real treat of the season is the Halloween puns and jokes.

For this horror-filled holiday, we’re leaning less into what’s scary, and more into silly humor. After all, jokes are allergen-friendly, they don’t melt in your pocket, won’t give you cavities, and are a whopping zero dollars.

Sure, slinging jokes to trick-or-treaters might have them egging your house for years to come. But who doesn’t love a good post-Halloween omelet?

For those in the mood for a Hocus Pocus Joke-us, we’ve put together more than 60 Halloween puns that’ll make you the comedic equivalent of the house with the king-sized candy bars.
