Are you the type of person who skips the horror flicks and wouldn't be caught dead telling ghost stories around a campfire? If so, then these light-hearted Halloween quotes are the way to go this October. Even if you're not a fan of all things spooky, you can still enjoy the fun of Halloween and all its festivities. These quotes make light of the holiday, focusing in on the candy, the costumes, and the overall imaginative spirit that presides over it. As for witches, terror, and fear? You won't find them here.

Halloween doesn't have to be scary if that's not your thing. Plenty of time can be spent decorating cookies, dressing up in costume, drinking pumpkin-spiced beverages, and eating candy until your stomach gets sick instead. If you're not all about the terror on Oct. 31, then you're not alone. Don't spend your Halloween reading scary quotes if that's not your scene — spend it icing pumpkin-shaped cookies and reading through these light-hearted Halloween quotes instead.

To add to their usefulness, these light-hearted Halloween quotes are also ideal for captioning your Halloween themed Instagram posts and updating your Facebook status on the last day of October. Great captions and light-hearted fun... does it get any better than that? Doubtful.
