My Halloween Experience

Last year, I didn’t just scroll Pinterest for inspiration—I actually put a list like this into practice with my girlfriend.

We carved pumpkins, sipped pumpkin spice lattes, and stayed up until 2 a.m. watching horror movies. We laughed, screamed, and created memories that still make us smile. From building a blanket fort to making silly DIY crafts, it turned into a night we’ll never forget.

That’s when I realized the real magic of Halloween isn’t just the costumes or the candy—it’s the connection. And if you try even a handful of these things to do on Halloween with your boyfriend, I promise your night will be just as unforgettable.

Final Thoughts

Halloween only comes once a year, but it’s the perfect chance to celebrate love, laughter, and a little bit of fear. Whether you’re a spooky thrill-seeker or someone who prefers cozy nights in, this list of 250 things to do on Halloween with your boyfriend has you covered.

So grab your pumpkins, put on your costumes, and get ready to make this Halloween the best one yet—with the person you love most by your side.

Save the pin for later
