Horror fans rarely need an excuse to watch more horror movies. However, Tinder just participated in a science experiment with Peacock to determine the best horror movies for date night. This came as a result of a 42% increase in Tinder users referring to horror movies in their bios. Now, as you can see below, they’ve shared the Top 5 horror movies for date night.
Additionally, the dating app has given users the opportunity to use “Horror Movies” as an official interest in their bios. Now 1,000 app users have been surveyed by both Peacock and Tinder, where it was discovered that both 63% of respondents enjoyed the idea of watching a horror movie on a date, and 49% agreed that a mutual interest in horror would make for high partner compatibility.
Here’s a graph below including the findings, which also had 51% of users prefer horror movies as they create “an opportunity to get physically close,” while 46% prefer them to “share a thrilling experience.” Additionally, they believe the 3rd date “is the most common for watching a horror movie together.”

The top horror movies to watch with a date on Peacock are as follows:
5. Saw
4. The Purge: Anarchy
3. Cult of Chucky
2. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
1. Halloween (2018)
It’s no surprise that horror is so popular at the moment. The science experiment was conducted around October, which would obviously mean everyone was eager to get into the Halloween spirit. But horror fans know that the genre is popular year round, so hopefully this will inspire some great horror watches in the near future. Regardless of whether or not it’s close to Halloween.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional horror news as we have it. For now, it certainly seems as though Peacock is a good place to start for any Tinder users looking to show their date some horror movies. Especially with Blumhouse‘s Halloween being the most popular.
