Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What are the best Halloween quotes about witches and spells?
The strongest are Shakespeare’s “Double, double, toil and trouble” and “Something wicked this way comes,” the Wicked Witch’s “I’ll get you, my pretty,” and Winifred’s “I put a spell on you.” All are quoted accurately and credited here.
Q2. Where do the most famous witch quotes come from?
Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” (1606) gives us the Witches’ chants, “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) gives the Wicked Witch’s lines, and “Hocus Pocus” (1993) gives the Sanderson sisters’ cackles — all three are quoted here.
Q3. Why are witches so tied to Halloween?
The witch is the season’s favorite figure of mystery and power, rooted in folklore and dressed up for fun, so she has become as much a part of October as the pumpkin.
Q4. Are these witch quotes all real?
Eight are real, verified quotes — three Shakespeare chants, two “Wizard of Oz” lines, two “Hocus Pocus” lines, and one line from Roald Dahl’s “The Witches.” Everything else is Original — Kaveesh Mommy.
Q5. What does “Double, double toil and trouble” mean?
It is the Witches’ chant in “Macbeth” (1606), spoken as they brew over a cauldron — a line that has become the shorthand for every spooky spell ever stirred.
Q6. Is “Something wicked this way comes” from Shakespeare?
Yes. The Second Witch speaks it in “Macbeth” (1606) as Macbeth approaches, and it later became the title of a Ray Bradbury novel.
Q7. What is a coven?
A coven is a gathering of witches — and, in the warmest sense, a circle of women who support one another, which is the spirit of the sisterhood lines in this post.
Q8. Can I use a Shakespeare witch quote freely?
Yes. “Macbeth” is public domain, so its lines can be quoted and shared without a license.
The movie and book quotes are credited but remain under their own copyrights.
