Four Classic Quotes to Memorize for Halloween or How to Get Thrown Out of the Neighbourhood

By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes. Open, locks, Whoever knocks.

It’s that time of year again when it’s time for the witches, goblins and scary monsters to take to the streets.

The little eyes sparkling as the costumes are put on, the trips around the neighbourhood to smiling neighbours’ homes, decorated with shining Halloween lanterns.

This year, why not raise the game and throw a few classic quotes into the mix.

By memorising and using the following examples, I’m sure your family and neighbours will remember it for years to come.

Okay let’s begin. Start by practising on your partner.

Its Halloween morning and you’ve’ just got up. Your other half announces that they have received a letter. Here’s your chance, start with a simple film quote:

“You got a letter? I got run over; Helen gets her hair chopped off. Julie gets a dead body in her trunk, and you got a letter?? Oh, that’s balanced.”

Whatever the reaction you get, ignore it and stay determined, and as you take your shower try not to let your mind dwell on the film “Psycho.”

Now it’s that time when the little angels are putting on their costumes, full of excitement for the evening to come.

You want them to make a good a good impression and to return home with arms full of goodies.

Get them to memorise the following line which you insist they must use when the welcoming door is opened to them:

“I have come here to chew bubblegum or kick ass, and I’m all out of bubble gum.”

 That should work.

What about you? How should you answer the door for maximum effect, to the little faces full of anticipation, waiting outside your door?

 Suddenly throw open the door, and with sheer terror in your voice bellow:

 “Angels and ministers of grace defend us!
Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn’d,
Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell
Be thy intents wicked or charitable?”

    Suddenly… it was Halloween again!… That sure was a thrilling read!… Great pictures too, and the quotes… well, they are awsome!… The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is one of my all time favorite ballads (together with some Poe Poems – yeah, I have a rather classic taste… but I love poetry that “sings”, and has rhymes and rhythms… and tells a story too).

    BTW, thanks for your wonderful comments on the music! (My brother was delighted!) (And me too.)

    Love it, Chris, but maybe you can help me out; I may need one more quote. My wife and daughter, though terrified by the lines from Macbeth, still had the presence of mind to snag the cake before they raced, screaming, up the stairs. I was left with a small fork and a half-empty tube of orange icing.

    “If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?”
    (Merchant of Venice – William Shakespeare)

    That might keep their hands off the cake, Rod.
