“'Tis the night - the night Of the grave's delight, And the warlocks are at their play; Ye think that without The wild winds shout, But no, it is they - it is they.”

“'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world”
William Shakespeare
“It's Halloween! It's Halloween! The moon is full and bright And we shall see what can't be seen On any other night. Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls, Grinning goblins fighting duels, Werewolves rising from their tombs, Witches on their magic brooms. In masks and gown we haunt the street And knock on doors for trick or treat. Tonight we are the king and queen, For oh tonight it's Halloween!”
Jack Prelutsky
“Hobgoblins know the proper way to dance: Arms akimbo, loopy legs askew, Leaping into darkness with delight, Lusting for the ecstasy of fright, Open to the charm of horrors new....”
Nicholas Gordon
“Come with me All Hallow's night We'll frighten everyone in sight Such pranks for once, are justified And fun and frolic amplified.”

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.”
Edgar Allan Poe
“Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen, Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween”
