17 Halloween Templates Instagram Story Designs for a Spooky October
Halloween Templates Instagram Story packs solve the one problem every October brings: stories vanish in 24 hours, yet the season only lasts a few weeks. Designing each frame by hand is time you do not have — opening a ready file and swapping the text takes two minutes.
The 17 collections below cover every workflow. Some are Canva links you edit in a browser, several arrive as layered Photoshop, Illustrator and EPS files, three are PowerPoint decks, and one is a set of ready-to-upload PNG highlight covers. Party promos, spooky quotes, product drops and trick-or-treat countdowns are all in here.
Template Instagram Story — Make Halloween
Six modern vertical Halloween Templates Instagram Story frames with a moonlit, slightly gothic mood — pumpkins, silhouettes and night skies handled with restraint rather than clip-art spookiness.
Built on master slides in PowerPoint, so image placeholders accept a drag-and-drop photo and the typography updates from one place. Export to JPG or PNG and the story is ready to upload.
Format: Microsoft PowerPoint
Delivery: .PPTX file + documentation
Quantity: 6 story templates
Size: 1080 × 1920 px
Editable: Text, resizable graphics and images (placeholders)
Template Instagram Story — Pumpkin Eyes
The playful sibling of the set above: glowing pumpkin faces and warm orange accents across six frames that suit parties, decorations and greeting-style content.
Free web fonts throughout and a documentation file for the first run. Preview photography is not part of the download, so your own images fill the placeholders from the start.
Format: Microsoft PowerPoint
Delivery: .PPTX file + documentation
Quantity: 6 story templates
Size: 1080 × 1920 px
Editable: Text, resizable graphics and images (placeholders)
Template Instagram Story — Hello Cakes
A sweeter reading of the season aimed at bakeries, cafes and dessert brands — six frames that carry a Halloween menu without scaring anyone away from the counter.
Same reliable structure as the rest of the series: master slides, picture placeholders, drag and drop, clean export. Elegant enough to reuse for autumn content after the 31st.
Format: Microsoft PowerPoint
Delivery: .PPTX file + documentation
Quantity: 6 story templates
Size: 1080 × 1920 px
Editable: Text, resizable graphics and images (placeholders)
Neon Halloween Story Templates
Cartoon-scary neon Halloween Templates Instagram Story graphics — skulls, bats, witch hats and bones — designed for party promotion, club nights, concerts and live events rather than for gentle seasonal greetings.
Everything is vector, so the artwork scales to a poster without losing an edge, and the text stays live for editing with the type tool. Layers are organised and only free fonts are used.
Format: Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Photoshop
Delivery: .AI and .PSD files (vector graphics)
Quantity: 6 story templates
Size: 1080 × 1920 px

A Quick Plan for Your Spookiest October Yet
Rather than deciding which pack looks best, decide what your October actually needs. A single event to promote? Five to six frames are enough. A shop running offers all month? Go for one of the 15–25 design sets so you can post daily without repeats. Want the profile itself to look seasonal from the first glance? Add highlight covers — they are the cheapest visual upgrade on this page. And check the file type before buying: a PSD is useless without Photoshop, just as a Canva link is useless if you only work offline.
Prepare everything in the last days of September, schedule it, and you can spend the 31st enjoying the evening instead of exporting graphics. For ideas that work the rest of the year, look through our other Instagram Templates collections, and if you want a wider choice of styles and seasons, our partner keeps a large catalogue of Templates Instagram that grows every week.
