Jonathan Bennett On How 'Halloween Wars' Led To His Epic Love Story

Jonathan Bennett remembers meeting his husband in Advocate Channel interview

"I went on his show, Celebrity Page, to promote my show, Halloween Wars, a few seasons ago," Bennett says. "We met during the interview and it was like literally love at first sight."

Bennett recalls the interview being a "complete mess" after he and Vaughan realized their connection. He continues: "We could barely speak. We were both just like a couple of little girls. But at the end of it, I was like, 'So can I get your number?' And he goes, 'You better.'"

Now, Bennett says Halloween "has a special place in my heart" for helping him meet his husband. The holiday also holds significance to the host, as it is what he's dubbed "the gayest holiday."

"I felt like being back on Halloween Wars, I was representing the queer community on television during a holiday that so many queer people celebrate and love for so many reasons," he explains, adding, "It's a time when you can actually escape anything that you're feeling and just be whoever you want to be for that evening. It's campy, it's dress up, it's glitter, it's be what you want to be. And so I think having queer representation on a show like Halloween Wars makes sense"
