Halloween stories for your costume, the party and the ghost trend
On 31 October everyone posts at once, so a story that looks designed stands out. This category has templates for a single costume shot, the whole party, and this year’s ghost photoshoot trend.
- The ghost photoshoot trend. White sheet, sunglasses, a spooky or silly shoot: Ghost Photoshoot · Viewfinder (1 photo) frames it like a camera screen, Ghost Photoshoot · Paws (2) is made for a shoot with your dog, and Ghost Photoshoot · Booth (4) lays the shots out like a photo booth strip.
- One costume photo. Golden Witch Night gives a single portrait a dark, gold, mysterious look – the easy choice for a costume reveal or a masquerade.
- The whole night. Pumpkin Night (3 photos) has a retro trick-or-treat feel, Halloween Boo Night (3) brings ghosts and pumpkins to the party, Gothic Altar (3) suits a vampire or gothic costume, Haunted House (4) sets the night around a spooky house, and Halloween Polaroids (5) shows the evening as instant photos with candles and pumpkins.
How to make a Halloween story
- Pick your photos in Allapulla – one costume shot, or 2–5 from the night.
- Open Halloween; only templates for that photo count appear.
- Choose one – the photos drop into the frames automatically. Move or zoom them if a face is cut off.
- Change the text to the date or a short line and share to Instagram Stories or WhatsApp, or save it.
Halloween caption ideas
- “Boo.” – one word is enough with a good costume photo.
- “Guess who.” for a costume reveal.
- The name of the party or the date, like “31.10”.
- “Trick or treat?” over your pumpkin photos.
Tips
- Night photos are often dark; put the brightest shots in the biggest frames.
- Keep text in the middle – Instagram covers the top and bottom. See the story size guide.
