As the end of October is rapidly approaching, most families have been busy decorating their homes, planning out costumes and parties, and making some spooky treats to share for Halloween. But what happens when your kids are grown and flown? Here are some great ideas for a Halloween date night at home.

Now that both kids are in college, I admit that my decorating has really taken a backseat. I work full-time outside the home, so when I get off work, I am really not motivated to start decorating. Partly because I am tired, mostly because I want to be with my husband, and generally because I have work to do on the blog.

So what are some Halloween date night at home ideas? Here are a few that will get you started.

Have A Movie Halloween Date Night At Home

Now is a great time to pull out all those movies you have sitting around gathering dust because you are too busy working or doing other household cleaning tasks.

They can be funny, or spooky, or romantic, but no matter what you choose, find one that is great for cuddling. I will warn you though, there are a lot of times hubby and I start watching a movie together and one or both of us falls asleep. No worries, you are at least together.

Here are some suggestions for movies:

• The Little Vampire
• Hocus Pocus
• A Nightmare On Elm Street Collection
• The Addams Family Collection
