What is romance but a chance to scream bloody murder with the love of your life? For many creeps, ghouls, and horror-obsessed maniacs out there, Halloween is the perfect time for a romantic date! After all, who needs dinner and a movie when you have zombies, ghouls, vampires, and a variety of chainsaw-wielding manic chase you in a haunted house? For most stars, ‘Halloween Date Night’ will be a Shudder marathon and an extra-large pizza. For Ashley Benson and G-Eazy, the couple visited Nights of the Jack. During the 2020 date night, the two experienced an interactive drive-thru production, which included installations made out of carved pumpkins and a few shocking surprises.
Ashley Tisdale and Chris French have set Halloween couple goals for years. The High School Musical star and hubby were seen hitting up Universal’s Halloween Horror nights in 2015, posing with another couple while inside a creepy looking set. One year, they kept it normcore/low-key while attending a Halloween party. Ashley wore a pair of skeleton tights and an oversized black sweater while Christopher wore what appeared to be a chipmunk onesie.
Chris Pratt and Anna Faris also set ‘Halloween ex-couple goals’ in 2018. Weeks after Chris and Ana finalized their divorce, they went on a double date with their respective partners – Katherine Schwarzenegger and Michael Barrett. It was mainly a way to take Chris and Anna’s son, Jack Pratt, trick or treating, but seeing these two couples have a fun Halloween was truly inspiring for all the “Jacks and Sallys” out there.
Unfortunately, unlike Laurie Strode, Alice Hardy, Sally Hardesty, and other “final girls,” some romances didn’t survive after mixing horror and Halloween. Kylie Jenner and Tyga hit up Horror Nights in 2015, posing with a few characters. The couple broke it off for good in 2017. That year, Ariel Winter and Levi Meaden visited Knott’s Scary Farm in California.
Their romance would end in 2019, and unlike Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger, it wouldn’t come back from the dead. Vanessa Hudgens and then-boyfriend Austin Butler visited Knott’s Scary Farms Black Carpet Event in 2016. They split in January 2020, after nine years together. Selena Gomez and The Weeknd visited Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in 2017. Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran visited the attraction in 2015, as did Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes. All those couples have since broken up. Wow. It seems that Halloween has quite a body count when it comes to relationships.
