Halloween Day Creative Ideas

Halloween, traditionally a holiday for kids to enjoy, is also the perfect date night: it promotes fun and frolic, you can become someone else for a day without consequence, and there are many unusual things to do and share with a loved one that can't be replicated any other day of the year.

Create something special for your date this year on Halloween by using one of these date ideas, and you'll be building memories together to last a lifetime.

 Halloween Day Creative Ideas 

Go Pumpkin Shopping Together

Hit a pumpkin patch together as one date idea, looking for the perfect gourd to carve together. Then, when you get home, either make a contest of it to see who carves the best pumpkin, or make it a tandem event. Either way, save the seeds and toast them when you're done, so the two of you can watch a scary movie together while munching on your newfound treats.

Find a Corn Maze

Depending on where you live, taking in a corn maze may or may not be an option. If it is however, it is probably one of the most romantic undertakings in this Halloween date ideas list. Don't bother bringing flashlights if its dark - more the reason for the two of you to get lost together! Just make sure to bring an extra sweater for the both of you so you don't get cold, and stash some hot chocolate in a thermos in your car for when you leave to end the evening.

Snuggle at Home

Of course, the two of you could just stay at home and spend the evening giving out candy to the door-knocking ghouls while watching a scary movie ...or three. You could try for a really scary evening with Saw (in all of its incarnations), or a more flirty and fun evening watching tried-and-true Halloween favorites for kids of all ages like Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Casper or It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Attend a Costume Party

Costume parties are usually a riot, and coming up with a couples-themed Halloween costume is a part of the fun. But why not create a twist and attend a costume party, separately, without each other knowing what the other is dressed as? Then the entire night will be spent in anticipation, trying to figure out if the headless horseman in the corner is your date - or maybe its Cleopatra. Don't forget to make a point of setting a time to reveal yourselves to each other!

Host a Murder Mystery

Invite a group of your friends over for a murder mystery party on Halloween, making sure that everyone comes in an appropriate costume for their character. And don't forget to have lots of fun treats on hand for everyone to enjoy during the festivities! Alternatively you could purchase a murder mystery puzzle for a more intimate soiree.
