On Oct. 31, I got married. In honor of the occasion, I'm combining my impending nuptials with Halloween to provide a list of movies with monsters, ghosts or ghouls that have romantic elements.
"Topper" (1937)
A fun-loving couple (Cary Grant and Constance Bennett) dies in a car accident. Their spirits are stuck on Earth and they deduce that a good deed would allow them through the pearly gates. They decide to rekindle the marriage of their stiff friend Mr. Topper (Roland Young) by livening up his life. It is a delightfully imaginative ghost story.
