Halloween Jokes with Alexa

You can ask Alexa to tell a Halloween joke by saying “Alexa, tell me a Halloween joke.” One of the replies Alexa gave me was, “What’s it like to be kissed by a vampire? It’s a pain in the neck.” It is certainly not the funniest joke you’ve ever heard, but it’s fine.

Make Your House Haunted with Alexa

If you have multiple Philips Hue devices or Alexa-compatible smart bulbs, lamps, switches, speakers and light strips throughout your entire house, just say “Alexa, make my house haunted.” Alexa will automatically change your device’s settings to create a scary environment in your house. For instance, Alexa will:

• Make all the smart lights orange.
• Play Halloween music and sound effects on smart speakers and cast a Halloween-themed video on your Fire TV devices or an Alexa-compatible TV.
• Turn on smart switches with decoration profiles.
