Hey fellas, are you looking for cute date ideas for this spooky season to impress your girlfriend? Well, get that LED mood lighting ready because we here at The Squirrel have the best way to get your girlfriend cuddling up to you all night long with the perfect horror movies that we know she’ll love.

Starting with the movie that is revered for breathing life back into the slasher genre, try Scream. Your girlfriend will love all of the 90s fashion, and she’ll definitely appreciate that you picked a movie where every single female character is absolutely girlbossing their way through the people in their town being murdered. Even better—she’ll cling onto you every time it gets scary, throwing all of her womanly power out the window in favor of having a big strong man protecting her from the fictional terrors that have zero chance of actually hurting her.

If slashers like Scream don’t tickle your fancy, the 2000s classic Jennifer’s Body is a surefire way to get your girl excited. You get to watch hottie Megan Fox on screen while your hot girlfriend lays next you in real life, and she gets to have the most essential and important experience of her entire life. A Jennifer’s Body date is certain to awaken all sorts of new feelings and appetites in her—for you, of course! Totally all for you. And when she gets more excited by the sight of Jennifer’s demon jaw unhinging as she bites a guy’s a head off than she has any time you have ever touched her or can’t tear her eyes away from the screen as she stares transfixed at Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox kissing sensually in their underwear while Megan lovingly plays with Amanda’s hair and the camera angle switches to an intimately close shot of their tongues and Amanda follows Megan down onto the bed until they’re laying on top of each other and their hands longingly slide up each other’s shirts, don’t fret! That just means she’s loving your movie choice, go you!

But, if that’s still not up to your standards, then we recommend the 2019 critically acclaimed, award-winning showstopper that is Midsommar. Every girl loves a flower crown, and combine that with some good ol’ high budget creepiness for the Halloween season? She’s sold! She’ll snuggle up to you for the scary parts and be cheering Florence Pugh on for the entire movie. Not to mention, there’s a sex scene that will undoubtably put both of you in A Mood. When she gets really, really excited about Florence’s character joining a cult and everything that comes after, that’s a sign that she’s into you! We guarantee that if you choose Midsommar for date night, your girlfriend will undeniably be smiling by the end of it.

And if she suddenly has tons of spooky movie and TV show ideas—like The Haunting of Bly Manor, or the Fear Street trilogy—that’s a great sign! You’ve successfully put your girlfriend in the festive fall mood. Prepared to be curled up with her watching Dani and Jamie making out in a greenhouse or Deena and Sam making out after beating a psycho killer for the rest of the spooky season.
