For Movie Buffs: Have a Halloween Movie Marathon. 🎥

A Halloween movie marathon is a perfect idea for horror-film-enthusiast couples. Cozy up on the couch with some of your fav treats, turn off the porch light (so the trick-or-treaters stay away), and pick a movie that'll scare the literal shit out of you. Who said romance is dead?

For Crime Doc Junkies: Binge that new crime doc you've been putting off. 📺

If scary movies aren't your forté as a couple – but you're both in the mood to self-induce a little anxiety – this one's for you. You know that crime doc that's been sitting on your "Watch List" gathering cobwebs for weeks now? A Halloween date night would be the perfect time to binge-watch it.

For "Boo"zy Couples: Open up the home bar and indulge in some seasonal brews. 🍸

If you and your "boo" are "boo"zers (see what I did there?), then you'll surely enjoy a Halloween date night indulging in your favorite adult beverages. Mix some Halloween-inspired cocktails. Throw back Halloween-y brews. Taste-testing some Halloween wines. Proceed with caution, though. Because this date night idea can get real messy real quick.

For Couples Who Can Cook Together (Without Killing Each Other): Try out some Halloween-inspired recipes. 🥘

If you happen to be a more cooking-inclined duo (can't relate), there are so many cool-looking Halloween treats out there. For visual folks, I've included the link to the #HalloweenRecipe hashtag on Instagram below, but there are soooo many more to pick from if you just search Google and Pinterest.

For Artsy Folks: Paint some Thrifted Ghost Paintings. 🎨

I don't know if thrifted ghost paintings are even still a thing – but back in 2023, they were all the rage. Anyway, for artsy couples, making some thrifted ghost paintings would surely provide ample entertainment. And even if you aren't artsy, you'll surely get some laughter out of trying to paint something half-decent.

For Crafty Couples: Play with pumpkins. 🎃

Paint them. Gut them (i.e. carve them). Do whatever you want to them, I don't care. But if you're a pair of crafty crafters, you're bound to enjoy a Halloween date night in which you turn regular pumpkins into cool pumpkins. Bonus points if you caught that reference.

For Couples Looking For Some Saucy Fun: Release your inner incubus/succubus. 😈

If you aren't fluent in the world of mythology, incubus and succubus refer to demonic, sexual beings. So this Halloween, if you're looking for some real spicy fun as a couple, release your inner demons. Set the mood by lighting some candles (or pick up some SmartBulbs), and – well, you know the rest.

For those of you feeling really ambitious, you can even throw some costumes into the mix and let your roleplaying imagination run wild. It's Halloween, after all.
