With it being officially October and Halloween soon approaching, everyone’s in the mood for some early holiday prep: getting their Halloween decorations up, browsing for Halloween costume ideas, and making a list of ghost movies to binge-watch on All Hallows Eve. Yet, there’s one more thing missing on the to-do list: a list of scary jokes to keep the horror meter in check.
According to a recent survey, almost one-quarter of polled Americans revealed that Halloween is one of their favorite holidays. Halloween remains popular because it satisfies humans’ fundamental need to explore and even celebrate the enigmas that frighten us.
However, to relieve the tension, the humor element is often needed. Therefore, many horror movies tend to utilize it by incorporating creepy jokes or funny elements into the context. This is also why the conjunction of two utterly opposing film genres, horror-comedy, has been making bank at the box office.
So it’s fair to say that often, comedy and horror come hand in hand. And for all the adrenaline junkies, the tension and the mix of emotions created by throwing some horror jokes and laughs to neutralize intense scares is precisely what they are looking for.
While scary Halloween jokes are not meant to startle, they provide quality entertainment for the fans of the genre and all things ghoulish.
To keep the tension and frights at bay, we’ve compiled a bunch of ghost jokes and spooky skeleton jokes to tickle your funny bone! Do you know of any more Halloween jokes, maybe dad jokes? Was there a scary joke you will equip at the upcoming Halloween shindig? Let us know!
