We don't know what's scarier: Halloween itself or choosing an Instagram-worthy photo from one of your many Halloween parties! Listen, it's an actual ordeal. Some of us spend more time than we'd like to admit planning these original costumes. Others may have opted for the last minute Halloween costume-route, but nonetheless, pictures were taken! Though, once we've got our selection all sorted out, we come face-to-face with another challenge—creating a clever caption. Lucky for you, we came up with a list of the eeriest, funniest, and cutest Halloween Instagram captions that should help you with your photos this year!

As you begin to prep for the spookiest night of the year, we'll save you some time from having to come up with your own witticisms—or should we say witch-icisms? We've rounded up a batch of Halloween puns, Halloween jokes, and Halloween wishes that'll work for any October 31 post! Whether you're in need of captions for family, friends, or just a selfie, you'll find an idea ahead that'll fit. For instance, a snap with your closest friends calls for a "#SquadGhouls" caption, while a cute couples shot pairs perfectly with a simple, "You bewitch me!" Why stop there? You can also draw inspiration from Halloween quotes inspired by your favorite Halloween movies like Beetlejuice or Hocus Pocus. "I am the Pumpkin King!" is great for any The Nightmare Before Christmas fans who take Halloween very seriously. Whatever the case may be, we're sure there's a caption here for you!
