spooky season

Trick-or-treat time

Spooky season is the period surrounding Halloween, roughly from late September through October, when people embrace horror movies, haunted houses, costumes, and macabre decorations.

The phrase captures both genuine enthusiasm for the creepy and playful, campy enjoyment of all things eerie: It's spooky season—time to watch horror movies every night.
