What do you call a witch's best friend at school?

Her ghoul-friend!

Why This Joke Works

"Ghoul-friend" swaps the "girl" in "girlfriend" for "ghoul" — one syllable different — to bring in the Halloween creature. The school context makes it sweet: witches need best friends too, and a ghoul makes sense as a companion monster. The friendship framing makes it wholesome rather than just punny.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say "ghoul-friend!" with the warmth of a genuine friendship announcement — like the witch and ghoul have been BFFs since middle school and everyone knows it.

Perfect for:

  • When two friends show up to a Halloween party in witch and ghoul costumes together
  • At a Halloween-themed school event for kids
  • During a Halloween playdate when kids are playing as monsters together
