30 of Our Favorite Spooky Movie Couples

There are all kinds of scary movies that will get you in the mood for Halloween, ranging from hide-under-the-bed horror flicks to the more lighthearted but still supernatural fare. Personally, I'm a fan of creepy, dark movies that have a little humor and romance thrown in. In these spooky movies, the couples may be running for their lives, they may have already died, or they may be the ones doing the killing. There are also star-crossed lovers and a pair that includes one monster and the person who falls in love with him anyway. See some of our favorite couples from hauntingly fun movies now!
