Halloween Quotes
Halloween has almost nothing of its own on Wikiquote, so the page is built from fear and death. The one entry filed against the holiday is from Jeffrey Ford’s The Empire of Ice Cream (2006): the narrator says Halloween was close and was the favourite holiday because it lacked the holiness of Christmas.
What you get otherwise is Shakespeare on fear and Bertrand Russell on what it does to people, with comedians in between. It will not be seasonal in tone. If you want scary, search for it. If you want something that works as a caption, start here and check the flags.
And over them triumphant Death his dart
Shook, but delay'd to strike, though oft invoked.

You can behold such sights,
And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks,
When mine is blanch'd with fear.

How easy is a bush suppos'd a bear!

Gives in your weakness strength unto your foe.
We are not apt to fear for the fearless, when we are companions in their danger.
