To the friend I will be sharing a couch with by midnight — thanks for being predictable. Happy Halloween.

May the candle in your pumpkin not blow out, the kid handing out candy be generous, and the friend group be intact by November 1. Happy Halloween.

Cheers to the friend who would help me hide a body. Hypothetically. Tonight, we just need to hide the empty pizza box.

Happy Halloween, my partner in spooky mischief. Long may our pumpkin patches be elite.

To the friend who brings the snacks no one asked for and everyone eats first — you are essential. Happy Halloween.

May your wig stay on. May your eyeliner survive. May your friend group take one good group photo before someone wanders off. Happy Halloween.

Wishing you a Halloween of weird friends, weirder costumes, and exactly the right amount of candy theft from your own bowl.

Happy Halloween to the people I'd survive an actual zombie apocalypse with. You know who you are. Pack snacks.

To my friend in the cat ears — you have worn the same costume four years in a row and we admire the consistency. Happy Halloween.

May your group chat tonight be unhinged. May your photos be unflattering. May the memories be the kind that hold up. Happy Halloween.

Wishing my favorite haunt-mate a wild Halloween. Save me the chocolate. Save me a story.

Happy Halloween to the friend who texted "what are you?" the morning of, because we both forgot to plan. Same time next year.

May the pumpkin we carved together last week not look as bad on October 31st as it did on October 25th. (It will. It always does.) Happy Halloween.

To the friends who survive me on Halloween — patient, kind, somehow still texting me back after the year I made everyone go as cereal characters. I love you. Happy Halloween.

Cheers to the friend who refuses to dress up. We see you. Quiet rebellion noted. Happy Halloween anyway.

May your Halloween be the kind that earns its own group chat the day after. Happy Halloween, lifer.

To my haunted-house-survival-partner — let's keep clutching each other in the dark for years. Happy Halloween.

Wishing you a Halloween of friends in motion, decent snacks, terrible drinks, and a long walk home in the cold that you'll remember next October.

Happy Halloween to my favorite costume conspirator. The group photo is going to be great. The story is going to be better.

The moon is full. The cat is up. The pumpkin is grinning. Tonight, anything is possible.

Listen — at midnight, the wind moves differently. Tonight, leave a candle in the window. Just in case.

They say the veil is thin tonight. Be kind to the strange noises. Some of them are visitors.

The pumpkin you carved is watching the street. Let it. That's its job tonight.

The owls know things tonight. So do the porch cats. So does the wind. Listen carefully.

In the orange light of the jack-o'-lantern, the shadows move a little slower. That's how you know it's working.
