Start by assigning all of your guests a role to play, one of which is the murderer. During the course of the party, your guests will try to figure out is the mystery. Not only will your party be unique, but it will be a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit with your partner and your friends.
4. Scary movie marathon: What better way to get comfy and cozy with your partner than by watching a scary movie? Take a night and pick out a slew of movies that you and your date will enjoy. Try watching an extra scary movie like ‘Saw,’ and if that’s not your thing, find a more “feel good” Halloween movie like ‘Hocus Pocus.’
