6 Of The Most Frightening Dating Sites Ever

Confession: Despite being the ripe, not-that-old age of 26, I'm still a sucker for Halloween. There's something I just can't help loving about a holiday that encourages dressing up and eating candy. And then there's my very favorite part of the Halloween season: the scares.

From the horror movies to the haunted houses, something in me demands to be scared and loves every second of it. But there are a few times terror is not on my to-do list, and online dating is definitely one of them. Fright on a first date? No thanks.

It seems obvious, but humanity is a strange and wonderful thing and...well...it turns out not everyone feels the same way I do. There are those who want their romance to come with a side of scares, and there are dating sites that cater to their special need for fear.

Halloween seems like the perfect time to take a peek into the creepier side of online dating and uncover its spookiest sites, so follow me...if you dare.

1. Date Vampires: Date Vampires claims to be “the premier Vampire dating service that helps blood sucking singles establish their brood.” Is there a lot of competition in that market? I can't imagine so, but if you've got some Edward and Bella fantasies to live out, this is the place to go.
2. Werewolf Passions: Lest the werewolves feel left out while their fanged nemesis gets all the attention, there is Werewolf Passions for “werewolves and werewolf lovers,” as well as anyone into “werewolf movies, werewolf books or television shows with a werewolf theme.”
3. Zombie Passions: Yep, the zombies aren't left out either. Zombie Passions is a place to meet “other zombie lovers, zombie haters, zombie groupies and zombie survivalists.” But beware of anyone whose list of interests includes “Braaaaains.”
4. Clown Dating: The website says “Everybody loves a clown...let a clown love you,” but I, uh, beg to differ. Clowns have never really creeped me out, but for plenty of people they epitomize terror. And if this season of American Horror Story has anything to say about it, I may soon be one of them.
5. Meet An Inmate: What's scary is that this is a real thing. Aren't people already paranoid their online dates may secretly be serial killers? Meet An Inmate makes that fear way too close to reality.
6. Craigslist Personals: Anyone who's been on a Craigslist date knows it's by far the scariest of all possible options. From the scammers to the potential ax murderers to the everyday, run-of-the-mill weirdos, this is definitely online dating's scariest site.
