“I’m looking for some Halloween romance/rom-com movies.” -@adrianne_scheib_5501 Adrianne brings up a wickedly fun and often overlooked spooky season subgenre, the Halloween romance. Halloween is typically associated with horror, but there’s something so fun about the genre-bending concept of finding love in a truly hopeless, er, haunted place.
