Horror Movie Date Night Fails

Horror Movie Date Night Fails

Hey you, serial dater! We all want a memorable date night, but sometimes it turns into a full-blown horror movie. You know the kind...leaving you thinking, “What just happened?!”, ending in tears, or frantically texting your friends to come rescue you.

Fear not!

We’ve put together a guide to the scariest (and funniest) date fails, so you can survive the nightmares and maybe even have a laugh along the way.

 

1. Freddy Krueger: The Nightmare Conversationalist

  • Date Night Fail: Constantly brings up every embarrassing thing you’ve ever done. Your “dream date” quickly turns into a nightmare of awkward memories.
  • Time to run if your date keeps turning sweet moments into cringe-worthy flashbacks.

 

2. Jason Voorhees: The Silent Type

  • Date Night Fail: Doesn’t talk at all. You’re on a dinner date and it feels like you’re dining with a hockey mask.
  • Time to run if your date nods, grunts, or offers zero conversation. Silence will become the new horror in your relationship.

 

3. Chucky: The Short King of Chaos

  • Date Night Fail: Your date is completely territorial and ruining the vibe if another man is around. Trips over the tablecloth, steals fries, or interrupts the conversation with chaos.
  • Time to run if your date is constantly jealous of the other imaginary man.

 

4. Leatherface: The Messy Eater

  • Date Night Fail: Takes “hands-on dining” to horrifying new levels, doesn't use napkins and has zero table manners. 
  • Time to run if your date makes dinner look like a scene from a horror movie.

 

5. Cruella De Vil: The Overdramatic Baddie

  • Date Night Fail: Turns every minor inconvenience into a cinematic meltdown. The waiter forgot a fork? End of the world.
  • Time to run if your date acts like a drama queen every time you leave the house and continues with full-blown theatrical meltdowns all night.

 

6. Pennywise: The Irritating Prankster

  • Date Night Fail: Keeps trying to scare or prank you at the worst times. Laughs maniacally mid-conversation and jumps out from behind chairs.
  • Time to run if your date is unpredictable, mischievous, and a little terrifying around each corner.

 

7. Annabelle: The Overly Smiling One

  • Date Night Fail: Stares intensely across the dinner table and mysteriously makes wine glasses crack or cutlery go missing. 
  • Time to run if your date is silent and forcing an overly large smile.

 

8. Samara (The Ring): The Obsessed Texter

  • Date Night Fail: Keeps texting, calling, and showing up without your go-ahead. 
  • Time to run if your date focuses on their phone notifications more than romance.

 

9. Michael Myers: The Intense Perfectionist

  • Date Night Fail: Every knife is perfectly aligned, every fork polished and he stabs his steak just a little too menacingly. You’re not sure if it’s dinner… or a warning.
  • Time to run if your date is the one who gets oddly serious about table settings, critiques your napkin fold, and somehow makes “medium-rare” feel like a threat?

 

10. Ghostface (Scream) – The Overly Cautious Partner

  • Date Night Fail: Obsessed with “what could go wrong.” and every move other patrons make around the table is analyzed for danger.
  • Time to run if your date is nervous, but testy about the waiter. 

Bonus tip: a Twister Bed Sheet might not stop the The Short King of Chaos Type from stealing fries, but it can make sure the night ends in laughter, not terror.
