October is the one month a year when being into bats and black lipstick counts as festive instead of a phase. The rest of us spent today buying a pumpkin candle and calling it a personality, and I bought two. This is The Nightcap, a fresh round of funny memes every night, and the Nightcap from earlier this week is still up if you missed it. Light the candle and start scrolling.

Funny memes for the first night of October

If the Doom one actually got you to drink a glass of water, that is the most useful thing late night memes have ever done. The Morning Commute is back at breakfast with a fresh stack, and the Nightcap returns tomorrow night. Until then, there are spooky memes for the year round goths and a pile of creepy facts from the start of the season. Hit a share button on your way out, preferably toward whoever already has the fog machine plugged in.
