Halloween memes for the spooky season? Count us in! While October is mostly associated with all things spine-tingling, there is always more room for laughs — and the internet’s dark humor memes are legendary when it comes to these things. Since the season started, we have been collecting some funny memes cooked up by the creative ghouls of the interwebs.
So whether you’re into tricks or treats, we have a bunch of October memes here that are sure to tickle your funny bones.
What are Memes?
It is likely that you’ve come across silly memes before and perhaps even shared one without knowing what it actually is. If you’ve seen a funny photo or video online, especially one that has gone viral, that is what your basic meme is.
Pronounced as MEEM, these are content shared through different social media platforms. They often relate to internet culture and its subcultures. It might seem like nonsense to some, but a funny meme can also carry symbolic meaning and represent a phenomenon unique to that particular point in time. In this case, it’s Halloween.
With most of us staying at home and foregoing trick or treating this season, finding humor in our current situation is important. How does one celebrate without all the usual traditions? These should help ease the doom and gloom.
Pumpkin Spice Meme
Aside from your usual Halloween memes, pumpkin spice-related humor is also among the most popular. If you’re wondering what’s so funny about this seasonal drink, then you’d be surprised by all the creative twists the internet has given.
You can’t consider yourself a true autumn lover if you’re not familiar with this particular subgenre of funny Halloween memes. Curious? Check out our list below.
It Be Like That Sometimes
Fans of this seasonal drink will agree: it can get pretty darn addictive. Just make sure you don’t try this one at home. Snorting cinnamon spice powder is the last thing you would ever want to do—no matter how much you love it.
One of Those Offensive Halloween Memes, But Only if You’re A Karen
Call this one meme-ception. The term Karen, as you might know, originated from a meme and pertains to a particular type of entitled woman who has made a habit out of wanting to “speak to the manager.” Add pumpkin spice on top of that and you have an entirely new monster in your hands!
They Aren’t Called “Pumpkin Spice Tribe” For Nothing!
We hate to stereotype, but we’re sure even the “tribe” will agree with this one. Close your eyes and you can almost see them walking around in their Christian Girl Autumn best, with a pumpkin spice latte in one hand.
Spice Girls, But Extra Spicy
One of these spices isn’t like the others. Pumpkin spice is hard to miss with her chunky scarf, black tights, and super comfy Ugg boots. Just don’t mistake her for a Karen, because they are often two very different concepts.

If you’ve ever wondered what a pumpkin spice tribe might look like, this is an accurate representation. From their tousled hair, down to their chunky boots!
Halloween Movie Memes
What are some of your favorite Halloween movies? There are many classics that we always go back to during the season. Some of the best Halloween movies include Beetlejuice, The Addams Family, and The Witches. Then there are nostalgic ones like HalloweenTown, Practical Magic, and Harry Potter. Make sure you don’t miss out on horror greats such as Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Child’s Play, either!
When it comes to the best Halloween memes, however, nothing is sacred. Even the worst nightmare fuels can be turned into something hilarious once the internet gets its paws on it. Don’t believe us? Just check out some of these horror classic memes!

We Still Think It’s The Ghosts, Manny.
It’s Halloween and we think gravity is just another word for, “The ghosts are messing with me… again.” Besides, you can’t see gravity like you can’t see ghosts. Who’s to say that only one of the two is responsible for it?

Witch Memes
Never poke fun at a witch, especially during All Hallow’s Eve. Not that we’d ever need to, because witches are often a self-deprecating bunch. It is their dark humor that makes for some funny Halloween memes. From wholesome to morbid memes, here are some of the best we’ve found online!
Everyone Wants The Tea, But witches? They Have All The Dirt
