? HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN ?

Give your ghouls a giggle with these franken-tastic jokes!

Did you know that Halloween originates from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain? It was a festival marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. They saw this festival as being ‘liminal’, which means they believed that the spirit world was closer to this world.

Here are some spoooooky jokes to make your fiendish friends chuckle:

What do you get when you cross Bambi with a ghost?

Bamboo

 

What has webbed feet, feathers, fangs and goes quack-quack?

Count Duckula

 

 

What does a skeleton order at a restaurant?

Spare ribs

 

 

What’s a ghosts favourite fruit?

Boo-berries

 

What song does Dracula hate?

“You Are My Sunshine”

 

 

What do you get when you cross a black cat with a lemon?

A sour-puss

 

 

What do you call a fat pumpkin?

A plumpkin

 

Pumpkin Fact!

Traditionally, Irish people carved faces into turnips but when Irish immigrants first arrived in America, they found pumpkins much easier to carve and so the tradition changed from turnip to pumpkin!

 

Stay Safe this Halloween

It’s important to stay safe around this time of year, and not just from thirsty vampires or pesky poltergeists! Please remember to be careful around sparklers and fireworks this Halloween and don’t not wonder away on your own while trick or treating.

We hope you have a fang-tastic day!

 

Why not share this with your friends and family and give them a good laugh instead of a good spook (or maybe both!).
