The Halloween season is my busiest time of year, but no matter what, I still make time for my Honey-Bunny. He has perfected the art of planning a date night for a Halloween-loving partner. In this post, I will share some of our fun spooky date night ideas from the 20+ years he has made the Halloween season extra special for me.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Did you know that recreational fear (i.e. going to haunted houses) can bring people closer<\/a>? The Gainesville Fear Garden<\/strong><\/a> (Gainesville, FL) has conducted multiple studies into the psychology of fear. Their findings indicate that people consistently feel closer to others after going through a haunt. In in-depth interviews with guests, two themes emerged:\u00a0<\/p>

  1. People talked that doing something unusual and “out of the ordinary” created shared anticipation and excitement. It was a sense of “we did this together”.\u00a0<\/li>
  2. The time together after the haunt was just as important as the haunt itself. Laughing, talking, and teasing each other about the experience helped cement the bond between participants.<\/li><\/ol>

    Therefore, going to a haunt – and making sure to grab a snack or drink afterwards – is a great way to strengthen your relationship with that spooky someone. More and more haunts offer midways, food vendors, and entertainment to make it a full night out.<\/p>

    Whether it be a night out at the movies to watch a new release or a cozy evening in on the couch, being together is what counts. I especially love to watch my favorite horror movies with my Honey-Bunny. Firstly, they always make me excited for the Halloween season. Secondly, I love to share them with my Honey-Bunny, who watches significantly fewer movies than me. And lastly, I know them by heart so it doesn’t matter if we end up snuggling and missing the end of the movie.<\/p>

    Either way, be sure to make some popcorn, have a drink handy, and hold each other close at the scary parts!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    There is nothing more endearing than coming home from a long day at work to find that my Honey-Bunny has planned a homemade meal and went all out to create a spooky atmosphere. A few LED candles, Halloween plates, and just the right decor make a night in just as exciting as a trip to a fancy restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>

    Who says that dates have to be a full sit-down meal? With all the different pumpkin spice and harvest apple specialty drinks out at every coffee house in the U.S., sometimes instead of a full dinner we opt for pumpkin spice drinks and dessert at a local cafe. It is nice to just sit and talk while indulging in a seasonal sweet.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    To make a full day of a date, try going to a pumpkin patch to pick out your pumpkins and then coming home to carve them. Nothing gets me into a Halloween mood more than roaming aisles and aisles of orange pumpkins. Many patches also have hot apple cedar, donuts, and more for a nice meal. Then go home, put on a Vintage Halloween playlist<\/a>, and carve. For an extra treat – make some pumpkin seeds to enjoy together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
