The only thing more difficult than deciding on a Halloween costume? Picking the perfect Halloween caption to accompany your spook-tacular snaps on Instagram. Do you get together with your best ghouls (or guys) and do a group costume? Or do you dress up with your partner in crime? Maybe you channel your favorite literary character and wear something your book club would approve of, instead?
We can't answer that for you—but we can provide a slew of good Instagram captions for all your Halloween posts and pictures, whether you're looking for something cute and funny, super scary, or anything in between. Some of these Halloween sayings and puns are ideal captions if you're posting a couple's costume (pro tip: the word "boo" provides endless possibilities for photos with your boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner), while others are great for Halloween pictures with your friends (we highly recommend "#Squadghouls") or, yes, your dog (see: "Keep your 🐾 off my 🍬"). More likely to be inspired by a haunting song or a thrilling movie? We've got you covered with quotes from the ultimate Halloween films (hello, Hocus Pocus), as well as songs that are both classic and contemporary. Even if you're sticking to one of the tried-and-true Halloween costumes (think: witches, ghosts, devils, cats, and pumpkins), we've got a caption that's guaranteed to help you stand out from the crowd.
Ahead, a list of exactly what to say on a Halloween IG post—all of which you (and your followers) are sure to like.
