2. “Every day is Halloween, isn’t it? For some of us.” — Tim Burton

3. “We were a family that made our Halloween costumes Or, more accurately, my mother made them. She took no suggestions or advice. Halloween costumes were her territory. She was the brain behind my brother’s winning girl costume, stuffing her own bra with newspapers for him to wear under a cashmere sweater and smearing red lipstick on his lips.” — Ann Hood

4. “There is nothing that gives more assurance than a mask.”— Colette
