2. The otp+ go trick or treating for their first date.

3. A spends three months on their (slightly impractical) costume. B swings by the pharmacy for a pair of cat ears or a witch hat and wears a black sweat/tracksuit.

4. A member of the otp+ won’t stop making spoopy puns.

5. The otp+ visit a fall festival. The corn maze becomes an inside joke.

6. A goes to a Halloween party dressed as a pun. B’s the only one who gets it and thinks its brilliant.

7. The otp+ spot a cryptid/monster/mythical creature and get tangled up in a mystery.

8. Horror 🔪movie 🔪marathon or Spoopy 🎃 Specials 👻 marathon.

9. The otp+ try to make Halloween treats like popcorn balls and candy apples together.

10. The otp+ play with a ouija board and accidentally summon an annoying but harmless ghost.

11. The otp+ want to do a couple/group costume but can’t decide on what to be.

12. The otp+ stay up in bed telling each other scary stories and/or talking about the weirdest things that have ever happened to them.

13. A member of the otp+ finds a stray cat (or other animal) and brings them inside (out of the rain or for some food or first aid etc). Oops, it’s actually a sorcerer in disguise. This may or may not be the first that’s happened.
