The Best GIFs to Get You in the Halloween Mood

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Washington chapter.

Look out y’all, the holiday season is upon us and you know what that means. Yes, seasonal GIFs. What more could you ask for?

Need a way to spice up your boring text convos? Making a bland slideshow for one of your classes and want to get some laughs out of your peers who are otherwise dead inside? Miss the holiday episodes of your favorite shows? Search no more, you have found just the resource you need.

Here is a compilation of all of our favorite Halloween GIFs to cure your seasonal sadness from rain or midterms, whatever it may be.

The Classic

Honestly, if you don’t see this GIF at least 10 times every Halloween, I’m not sure what you’re doing with your life (probably not living through social media like the rest of us but whatever).

The Perfect Start to That Boring Slideshow

A little bit of spooky and a little bit of spice for your presentation this holiday season.

The Most Relatable

Maybe senioritis is hitting me hard, maybe it’s just week five and I’m tired, maybe it’s walking to class in the rain everyday but I felt this GIF in my soul.

The “Speaks for Itself”

I don’t really have words for this one but it’s definitely useful all spooky szn.

The Parks and Rec

We love Parks and Rec, we love April, and April loves Halloween. 

The “Sexy Bunny”

Monica went for the sexy cat costume, a true classic that most of us have also tried to pull off. Chandler went for the slightly less well known costume, the sexy bunny…with a twist.

The Monday Morning Mood

Who let me take an 8:30 a.m. on a Monday? I wake up like this at the start of every week. Don’t even try to deny it, you probably do too, but at least we all have the perfect GIF to reference.

The Obligatory Office GIF

Okay, I don’t watch The Office but apparently everyone and their mother does so this one is for y’all.

The Childhood Reference

If you didn’t grow up on the Halloweentown series on Disney Channel then you better get yourself on over to iTunes and study up. These classics will put you in the Halloween mood without a doubt.

The “Don’t Judge My Costume Please”

New Girl references are my specialty so you know I wasn’t going to let this compilation escape without a quality New Girl moment. Oh Winston, why are you the way you are?

The Sexy Mouse

Raise your hand if you are attempting “The Sexy [animal name here],” I’m not calling you out, I’m just giving you the perfect GIF to reference when someone else does. Now go kill it in your costume.

The Lacking Halloween Spirit

I’ve always felt a deep connection to Alex’s character on Wizards of Waverly Place, this is no exception. Laziness strikes again, wearing a t-shirt that says “costume” seems like the move this year.

The Party Like You Don’t Have Class Tomorrow

Not that this has stopped y’all before, but Halloween falls on a Thursday this year and we all know this will be you and your friends celebrating spooky season all hours of the night (even though some of you have 8:30 lectures to be at in the morning).

The Work Fit

Feeling extra spunky this year? Try out this look at work on the 31st.

The Hangover Monster

The morning after Halloween a good portion of you wild rascals will be waking up in a completely different costume, The Hangover Monster and she/he/they feel(s) just like this GIF.

Congratulations, you now have 15 relevant Halloween GIFs to get you through the remaining days of the spooky szn. Use them wisely as you celebrate responsibly through the 31st.
