40 Witch Quotes to Read Aloud on a Magical Halloween Night
"Everyone deserves a chance to fly." 🧹✨
By 
It's time to get in the mood for the spookiest night of the year: Halloween! And besides setting out candy bowls and pumpkin decorations, there's no easier way to get in the spirit by reading through this list of the best witch quotes. Whether you're hoping to get inspired for your annual Halloween party with a few decidedly on-theme lines of Shakespeare prose ("Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble...") or are looking to creep out the younger set with words from Roald Dahl's The Witches, you'll find something that fits the bill here. There are even witch-centric Halloween puns on this list!
And if a simple Halloween Instagram caption is what you're after, these witchy Halloween quotes are also a worthwhile read: Eerie one-liners from beloved books, movies, and poems double as fodder for unforgettable social media posts. For instance, you could pair a photo of your DIY witch costume with one of the Wicked Witch of the West's famous lines ("I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too") for a frightful—or frightfully funny—result.
So what are you waiting for? Grab the kids, turn down the lights, and cue up a favorite Halloween song in the background—then settle in for a dramatic reading of these delightfully scary sayings.
