The Brief: Celebrate the month of October and all the spooky Halloween festivities around it with these Spooktober 2020 memes.
DEEP DIVE
On October 1st, 2020, it’s officially Spooktober and that means it’s time to start carving Jack-O-Lanterns, sipping pumpkin spice lattes, and planning your costume. While many of the usual Halloween celebrations for 2020 have been canceled due to COVID, memes are an easy and safe way to get into the holiday spirit.
September 30 vs. October 1
Each October, people add spooky twists to their Twitter usernames and share their haunted glow ups from September 30th to October 1st.

Have A Spoopy Spooktober
