175 Cute Halloween Instagram Captions

Christmas tests your funds, and Thanksgiving tests your domestic skills, but Halloween relies on sheer brain power. Your costume brainstorming is one task, but then you also need to dream up Hollywood-level Halloween decor, or an envy-inducing Halloween function with solid cocktails and memorable activities.

Plus you'll want to brag about all of that action online of course, so that requires captions that can match the energy. Whether you're stepping out solo this year, have a meticulously planned group costume ready, or are going the matching couples costume route, a genius Halloween costume is nothing without a genius IG post to serve as proof of its existence. But if you're too overwhelmed to brainstorm something good, don't worry. Consider us your caption ghostwriters.

Below, find the 175 best and cleverest Halloween costume captions to use for your official grid post. Maybe some of them are mildly corny, but we kindly ask that you lean in. It's Halloween!
