Jump into your favorite fall outfits and take one or a bunch of photos to create a Halloween lookbook for your audience. This is Halloween chic daaaaaarling.
INSTAGRAM CAROUSEL SPOOKY STORY
Feeling creative? Want to take the cake for Halloween content ideas? Put together a spooky story using multiple Instagram graphics and post them in an Instagram carousel. This is a really fantastic idea if you are a writer, or you have a funny/interesting spooky story idea that you’d like to share with your audience. This type of Halloween content is interactive and really unique, you’re sure to win some brownie points (or should we say candy corn points?) with this one!
SOMETHING SPOOKY BUT CUTESY
A post shared by Squishy Kiosk (@squishykiosk) on Sep 25, 2018 at 8:43pm PDT If you’re not the biggest fan of Halloween (or if just don’t want to spook your audience too much!) you could post something Halloween themed that is a bit cutesy. This is the perfect Halloween content idea for you – search up this account in your Plann repost section and we’ll handle the rest.
INSTAGRAM STORIES MINI-MOVIE
With the addition of music in Instagram Stories, you can now put together a fun series of videos with background music to really delight your followers this Halloween! It could be Halloween music, a tutorial or a video sped-up of you decorating your home for Halloween. Whatever it is, that layer of themed music will really help you to get the party started on the ‘gram.

There’s plenty of treats out there to re-gram this Halloween, or make this even more fun and share your Halloween candy stash on Instagram Stories!
HALLOWEEN COLLABORATION
Is there a fellow business or blogger that you could collaborate to share halloween inspo with? This time of year is perfect for sharing creative and unique content with another Instagrammer with a similar target market. You can swap content (be it stories or grid content!) and post it on each other’s behalf with a link back to their account. This way you can share followers and make Halloween extra fun with some new internet friends!
FUNNY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
Oh great. The time of the year where mom puts these silly clothing on me, promising me all the treats if I just sit still for the picture. Something tells me she isn’t laughing with me…. . . . . #boxersofinstagram #boxerlove #boxerface #boxeraddiction #boxersarethebest #boxerlovealways #boxerlovers #boxerpix #boxergram #boxernation #boxerworld #boxerbaby #boxerpuppy #boxerfanpage #boxerfan #boxeraddict #animaladdicts #boxersofig #boxersofinsta #boxerdogcentral #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #boxerdog #boxerdogs #ilovemyboxer #theboxerworld #dogcostume #halloweencostume #halloweendog A post shared by Lincoln (@lincolnsworld_aboxerstory) on Sep 22, 2018 at 6:00am PDT Rather than sharing your own Halloween costume (I mean, you can if you want!) something that might be fun is sharing funny dog/cat halloween costumes. Don’t they just make you giggle?
HALLOWEEN QUOTES
Looking for Halloween content ideas but need something you can achieve QUICKLY?! Whip a Halloween quote into a graphic or use it as a caption for any photo! Here’s an idea: “She is like a cat in the dark. And then she is the darkness.” — Stevie Nicks, “Rhiannon”
CHILDHOOD HALLOWEEN THROWBACK
Got some cute throwback photos from when you were a kid at Halloween? Why not add a cute Plann filter (they’re freeeee) and post it to the ‘gram! Are you getting excited? We sure are. I have to admit, I am most excited for Reese’s peanut butter cups so if you need me I’ll be in the corner nomming away!
