Halloween is coming soon, a time for scary costumes and a marathon of horror movies. But not everyone likes the horror genre. Does this mean that this holiday is not for them? Not at all!

Buzzfeed has put together an unexpected Halloween selection. It includes romantic comedies, the plot of which could easily become the basis of a real horror movie. Here are the top 5 films from this list.

50 First Dates

The main character Lucy suffers from amnesia. Every morning she wakes up in bed with her legal husband, who is essentially a stranger to her. Moreover, she is pregnant, and this is news to her every day. The only proof that all this is not a surprise, but a logical continuation of a beautiful story is the home videos. Yes, her husband is trying to help her, and there is nothing sinister about his actions. But put yourself in Lucy's shoes – it would be really scary to spend the first day of your life like that.

While you were sleeping

Once again, the main character is Lucy. She manages to fall in love with Peter without even knowing him. One day Peter falls under a train and she saves his life. However, the man falls into a coma, and his family begins to perceive Lucy as his fiancée because of an inappropriate comment. She does not correct them. The girl is immediately accepted into the family, but gradually she begins to realize that her feelings for Peter are illusory, but her love for his brother Jack is real. Isn't there too much lying and manipulation for the story to be romantic? Even if we try to look at it from the perspective of Lucy's good intentions.

When in Rome

The story here centers on Beth, who is disappointed in love. She travels to Rome to attend her sister's wedding and finds herself at the fountain of wishes. However, instead of throwing a coin into the fountain, she takes out several. And she is immediately noticed by the men who threw the coins. They immediately begin to win her attention and start competing with each other. It's a funny movie, but imagine for a moment that you are a lonely woman in a foreign country, and suddenly a bunch of strange men start chasing you. A love curse is still a curse, isn't it?

Overboard

The arrogant and capricious billionaire Joanna, the owner of a luxury yacht, once falls overboard and loses her memory. And she finds herself under the sway of a widowed carpenter, whom, let's be honest, she has managed to annoy quite a bit. He decides not to tell Joanne that she is married, takes her to his house, and passes her off as his wife to the mother of his four naughty children. In other words, he is essentially using her trauma to take revenge. Eventually, Joanne learns the truth. But her life is ruined and there is no going back. She decides to associate herself with the man who kidnapped her and used her for his own purposes.

Sleepless in Seattle

It's pretty simple. We have Sam, who is still grieving the death of his wife. Out of desperation, he calls into a national radio show to share his emotions and tell them how wonderful his marriage was. Of course, this leads to hundreds of letters from women who are impressed by his sensitivity and brave display of emotional availability. One of these women is a journalist named Annie, who is in a relationship that is not going well. Although Annie is engaged, she begins to stalk Sam and, as if by magic, appears wherever he goes. Nowadays, this is called stalking. However, the man falls in love with his stalker. Mostly because he considers it a sign of fate that she often comes across his path. Yes, everything ends well in the movie. But how many similar stories do you know in your life that don't result in serious problems for the person being stalked?
