What Halloween Horror Movies Teach us About Dating...

It seems scary movies can give you more than a helpful reason for romance this Halloween and actually contain more dating advice than your average self-help book.

Hocus Pocus

Tackle a project together 
If battling the forces of evil doesn’t bring a couple together, nothing will. Instead of hunting down three witches with a talking cat for an accomplice why not pick a goal together. How about signing up to run a marathon or cooking a meal for your families?

The Addams Family

Learn a language together
Gomez and Morticia maybe a little odd but you must catch yourself musing at their passionate exchanges longingly. So why not learn from them and learn a language together – saying I love you in Spanish or Italian just sounds far sexier after all

Casper

Remember to share
Casper was ready to share his mother’s wedding dress and his much needed resurrection juice for the one he loved and your being territorial over your popcorn? It all ended well didn’t it – besides it works both ways after all.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it
Ok we’d be a little shocked if we came home to our significant other dressed in a corset garter combo sporting a perm too, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try something new. Your fit of daring could range from a weekend away to watching Rocky Horror.

Corpse Bride

Forgo the research
Blind marriages are a little extreme, but forgoing the Facebook investigation once you have started chatting to someone isn’t. We’re all guilty of checking someone out online past their online dating profile, but why not limit the preconceived ideas and see what happens – you may be pleasantly surprised.

Sleepy Hollow

Don’t jump to conclusions
So he likes rock music and she likes Sex And The City – that doesn’t make him a leather wearing biker with a goatee beard and it doesn’t make her a shopaholic chain smoker. Have an open mind; dating’s fun and people are looking for the same thing you are.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Listen to each other
Listening to Sally’s premonition of Christmas-tinged doom would have saved Jack a lot of trouble. You might not have to agree on everything, but getting their opinion on the Cheryl-esk leg tattoo you’re contemplating might be worthwhile. They must have taste to be with you of course.

Beetlejuice

Take stress in stride
We all can be a little short from time to time but the flannel-house dress duo from Beetlejuice keep it together don’t they; they leaned on each other and worked towards a common goal – ahhh

Scary movie

Stick together
Partners fare better; the buddy system will help you escape zombies, ghouls and make for great life adventures. As intimidating as dating can be, it could be a life saver.
