How to actually use them

Match the pun to the moment. Under a costume photo, keep it to a single line and let the outfit do the rest. On a card, match the pun to the person. On a shirt, pick the pun that reads clearly across a dark party, because that is the one people quote. Brevity is what makes a pun stick.

Put the pun on a shirt

If a Halloween pun makes you laugh, it belongs on a tee. We print original spooky-season designs in Canada, on soft tees and hoodies from S to 3XL, printed and posted inside Canada so duties never apply and no border wait. A funny Halloween shirt beats a full costume for the office party or the candy run.
