Forget about romantic comedies, scary movies are just as ideal for date night. What other movie genre warrants consecutive hours of clutching each other for dear life through jump scares and extra spooky scenes? Rather than waiting until October 31 for a marathon, build the anticipation all season long by catching screenings of classic horror movies all around town. We've put together this guide to Halloween movies in Orlando, happy haunting!
