Happy spooky season! Time to plan your best costume (possibly one inspired by a classic Halloween movie), eat all the candy, get in touch with your creepy side, and post a fantastic pic to Instagram -- with a clever Halloween Instagram caption, of course. First, you have to decide which snaps you're going to put out there — maybe it's you and your besties in a fabulous pop culture Halloween costume or a new Halloween boo, or maybe you've just got to take this opportunity to show off all the fun activities you're marking off your fall bucket list.
But once you've got the pic, what about the caption? Maybe you could go with a Halloween movie quote. Or a funny Halloween pun. Or a Halloween joke.

We've rounded up all of our favorite cute and funny Halloween Instagram captions in one place, saving you time on making your post so you can get back to the holiday festivities.
