Halloween is a time for human creativity. We build lawn dummies out of leaves and clothes, we convert cardboard boxes into vending machines, we turn our dogs into mops…
Then we sit down to write a simple Halloween greeting to our customers or employees, and for the life of us, we can’t. The horror 😱.

Oh my gourd
Halloqueen
Jerk-o-lantern
Eerie-sistible
Witchful thinking
Under a spell
This is a hip joint
More boos, please
We extend our deepest fangs
Get this party startled

Creep it real
By the glow of the moon
Shivers down your spine
Lazy bones
Bone appetit
Love at first fright
Whoo ghost there

May your candy supply last you well into the Christmas season.
May your treats be many and your tricks be few
Hold onto your broomsticks
Without a scare in the world
Witching you a Happy Halloween

Beware and take care on Halloween night.
Pumpkins a ‘blazing, hope your Halloween is amazing.
If you’ve got it, haunt it
You light us up like a jack-o-lantern
If you really want to get into the spirit with some creative copywriting techniques, take these Halloween rhymes and quotes for a spin:
When witches go riding,
And black cats are seen,
The moon laughs and whispers
‘Tis near Halloween.
Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
voices whisper in the trees, tonight is Halloween!” —Dexter Kozen
Time for shivers, scares, and thrills, for pumpkin grins in windowsills, for black cats in the full moon’s glow, and a happy Halloween hello!
As the sky grows dark and the moon glows bright,
strange creatures and critters appear in the night,
as the goblins growl and the werewolves whine,
shivers and chills run up and down your spine!
On Halloween, what bothers some
About these witches, is how come
In sailing, through the air, like bats
They never seem, to lose their hats? —David McCord
There is magic in the night when pumpkins glow by moonlight.
At first cock-crow the ghosts must go
Back to their quiet graves below. —Theodosia Garrison
