If you’re wondering what you and your date can do for Halloween, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we have a list of 16 date night ideas for you and your boo thang!
If Halloween parties aren’t your thing, or you prefer to do low-key activities at home, you might be wondering, what do couples do on Halloween night?
Whether you’re dating, married, or spending time with your crush, we have something for you to make your Halloween date night special.
First and foremost, and arguably the best part of Halloween, we have #1…
1. Carve Pumpkins Together
What is Halloween without carving pumpkins? You simply can’t go wrong with this fun tradition!
It gets everyone involved, and is so fun when you keep your design a surprise and show each other at the end.
This particular pumpkin carving set is great because it has all the tools you will need, from the stencils to the battery-powered tea light candles, all in one pack.
When I’m done carving, I like to clean the pumpkin seeds and roast them with sea salt or cinnamon in the oven.
2. Make S’mores Together Indoors
Honestly, I think everyone on the planet loves making s’mores! This electric s’mores maker is so cute and would work perfectly for date night.
It reminds me of roasting marshmallows at the neighborhood bonfire on Halloween night.
A warm element like this is perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere and bringing the outdoors into your home – without the fire!
This would be perfect for movie night, or to set up as a dessert station.
Add your significant others’ favorite toppings and dig in! Perfect way to use up mini candy bars too.
3. Watch Spooky Movies
Halloween is the ideal time of year to curl up with a spooky movie! One thing’s for sure, scary movies are 10 times better with something to snuggle and hide under…
This black fuzzy blanket is essential for watching a spooky movie together. The perfect addition to the s’mores maker 🙂
If scary movies aren’t your thing, check out non-scary classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Halloween Is Grinch Night, Snoopy Halloween, or Casper.
4. Make Festive Popcorn
Combine popcorn with your favorite festive treats for the perfect movie snack!
Using a popcorn popper at home and making it yourself gives the best taste. This one is great because you simply microwave the kernels for a few minutes to make fresh popcorn.
I like to use coconut oil and pumpkin pie spice for a seasonal twist.
When it’s no longer piping hot, add in your favorite Halloween candy pieces!
5. Bake Halloween Cookies Together
Who can resist fresh homemade cookies?
Baking is a fun activity to do together, and you get something delicious at the end!
Use a simple vanilla sugar cookie dough recipe (or a chocolate one for a darker effect), and decorate with homemade or store bought royal icings.
The end result is not only yummy but also a sweet reminder of the fun you had together during the spooky season.
6. Make Halloween Themed Paper Lanterns
Paper lanterns create the most beautiful glow in the evening. It’s the perfect ambience for date night!
You could use these indoor or outdoor, though I would recommend battery-powered tea lights to be safe.
You could also draw or paint spooky Halloween themes on them, or write cute messages about each other.
Bonus: leave a few as they are and decorate for Thanksgiving!
7. Play Cute Card Games
If you want to do something different, play a cute card game together.
If you don’t want to go out on Halloween night, you might need something indoors to do.
This one from Amazon has great reviews, and has 3 categories so it’s a little more low-key than a lot of other ones.
It’s a good idea to have different talking points, especially if you’re newly dating, or getting to know each other better.
8. Cook Dinner Together
If you don’t typically like cooking, or think you’re not good at it, I encourage you to give it a try!
Food has its way of bringing people together, and cooking can be a lot of fun as a team.
I am obsessed with these Halloween themed plates paired with the larger, black gothic charger plates.
Serve the white plates on top of the black ones for a monochrome theme. They would look great on a Halloween-themed table!
Next, find a delicious recipe that you have always wanted to try, and give it a go.

9. Throw A Backyard Movie Date Night
If you’re up for something adventurous, then why not try a Halloween backyard movie night?
Bring the Halloween festivities outdoors and do something different.
Gather your outdoor-friendly blankets and pillows and set them up in the backyard. A woven beach blanket would be a great base layer between your blankets and the ground.
If you prefer sitting, you can use loungers and camping chairs too.
A two-person loveseat would be awesome for a backyard Halloween date night. Bonus: it’s collapsible and could be used later for camping or beach days too.
Don’t let the idea of a projector intimidate you – there are so many options these days!
You could get a small mini projector. They’re easy to store, affordable, and connect to your phone or laptop, so you can stream your movies easily. It even outputs sound.
Use a light-colored sheet, projector screen, blank wall or ceiling to project onto.
A projector would also be great for anyone staying in a dorm! You could use it later to watch shows or movies in your dorm.
For sound, use a portable bluetooth speaker.
These are versatile to have because you can use it for music outside too.
10. Make A Spooky Bubble Dome
If you’re wondering, How do you make Halloween romantic? I bet you hadn’t thought of a bubble dome!
Without a doubt, it’s one of my favorite Halloween date night ideas.
Bring out your comfy chairs, floor pillows or cushions, rugs and blankets for the most memorable Halloween evening.
You can decorate inside or outside with some string lights for that glowy ambience.
Of course, you can’t forget the Halloween snacks!
Bring your date’s favorite snacks in this pumpkin tray, like mixed nuts, Halloween candy, or even chips and guac.
For a classy touch, make a charcuterie board on-the-go. It’s a convenient way to bring your favorite cheeses, meats, olives, or nuts. It even holds your wine glasses!
And the pièce de résistance: stainless steel wine glasses. These are perfect for taking in the backyard (or your bubble dome) – and you don’t have to worry about breaking glass.
These definitely are not just for wine – you can bring any drink of your choice.
Bonus: they keep your drink cooler for longer!
11. Make A Hand Cast Together
I think a hand plaster kit would make for a memorable date night!
Plus if you wanted to you could decorate the cast in a spooky way and actually use it as part of your Halloween decor.
12. Pick Out Pumpkins At The Pumpkin Patch
Spruce up your photo frames and your social accounts with a Halloween date night at a local pumpkin patch!
I highly recommend picking pumpkins yourself at a farm instead of buying them at a supermarket.
It’s a cute and festive way to get keepsake photos together, make memories, and support your local farmers.
Many pumpkin farms also offer hayrides!
13. Go To A Corn Maze At Night
Without a doubt this is one of my favorite Halloween date night ideas.
Corn mazes are great whether you attend during the day or night.
Of course the night time is often darker and chilier – so bundle up and bring flash lights.
If you live in a damp climate you might want to bring rain boots too… corn mazes can get muddy!
14. Check Out Your Local Haunted House
Calling all jump-scare lovers! A haunted house is a must if you and your boo love Halloween festivities.
It’s such a fun way to run around screaming, acting like little kids again!
Find a haunted house near you listed at local news sources and community bulletin boards.
15. Do Tarot Card Readings Together
Whether or not you believe in mysticisms of the universe, tarot card readings can be really fun!
Perfect for adding a mystical and fun twist to Halloween date night.
You can purchase a deck of tarot cards yourself, or go to a professional tarot card reader. I think either option would be a memorable date.
Why not dive into the unknown together? Especially for Halloween.
16. Escape Room Challenge
Work as a team in a horror-themed escape room. You’ll have to work together to solve puzzles and escape from a locked room before time runs out.
Most cities have at least one escape room business. Check their website for Halloween specials!
I hope our list has inspired you in some way to have a really fun date night this Halloween. If you give these ideas a try, don’t forget to comment and share! 🍂🐻🤎
