Love Bites: 35 Horror Movies to Watch on Valentine’s Day
“So, what’s the V-Day plan?”
“Well, Miranda and I are going to dinner and then a very violent slasher movie.”
“Perfect.”
This line from Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City probably resonates with more viewers than you might think. Not everyone craves a romantic love story or a heartwarming rom-com on Valentine’s Day. Some people want just the opposite. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place, because RT is here with your Valentine’s Day horror watch list.
While you won’t see Sex and the City here, you will find a slew of terrifying and bloody tales about vampire lovers, toxic romances, demonically possessed high schoolers, and more. There are even a few films centered on the holiday itself, like Josh Ruben’s Heart Eyes. When the Certified Fresh horror film hit theaters last February, critics praised it as smart, funny, and intense, with one critic reporting, “[It] has something for everyone in this season of love and beyond.” Another wrote, “If your Valentine’s Day date doesn’t mind a little red in their gift, this is probably your best bet.” The movie joins our lineup of 35 V-Day-appropriate horror movies, from the Certified Fresh to the Rotten, all ranked by Tomatometer.
