While Valentine’s Day and Christmas are often thought of as the most romantic of holiday seasons, there’s no reason you can’t find love on Halloween.
We’ve seen romance in horror plenty of times. Think The Corpse Bride, Bride of Frankenstein… even Chucky is wifed up!
Although Halloween’s festivities tend to rely on jump-scares, freaky films and creepy costumes, this October you could opt in for romance instead. Take inspiration from some of these cheesy Halloween-themed pick up lines and you’ll be partnered up before you know it. Who says romance is dead?
Are these Halloween pick up lines a trick or treat?
Trick-or-treating might be reserved for the younger generation of Halloween-goers, but it serves as inspiration for some pretty cornychat up lines:
“I don’t know what the trick is, ‘cause you are definitely the treat.”
“You don’t need Halloween because you look like a treat everyday.”
“Went trick-or-treating but I didn’t get any Hershey’s. Can you share some kisses?”
“I don’t want candy, I just want your number.”

Verging on silly, these flirting lines have taken their inspiration from classic Halloween monsters and characters:

“I’m no clown, but you’re definitely It.”
“Isn’t it spooky how your number isn’t in my phone?”
“I don’t need to suck your blood to know you’re my type.”
“Even on Halloween, I promise I won’t ghost you.”
While there’s no guarantee that these lines will help find you a future ‘ghoul-friend’, they will certainly make an impression this spooky season.
