Valentine’s Day is supposed to be all about love, flowers, and heart-shaped everything. But let’s face it: the idea of watching a rom-com where everything works out perfectly can be terrifying—especially if you’re single or your idea of romance involves binge-watching horror movies. Fear not! This year, you can embrace the true spirit of Valentine’s Day by watching some horror movies that will remind you that love is actually scary. Grab your popcorn (or maybe a bottle of wine, because you’re gonna need it), and let’s dive into these lovely horror flicks:

“My Bloody Valentine” (1981 or 2009)

Okay, let’s be real: nothing says romance like a masked killer in a mining town and a bloody Valentine’s Day massacre. But hey, at least it’s not you being murdered… yet. Whether you watch the original 1981 version (which is delightfully cheesy) or the 2009 remake (which has a bit more modern gore), you’ll get to experience the thrill of someone really taking the whole “killing your ex” idea a little too far. If you’re single, it’s nice to know someone out there has way worse relationship problems than you.

Pro Tip: Try not to scream too loudly. The neighbors might think you’re actually in trouble. Or they’ll just think you have a strange romantic interest in pickaxes.

“The Bride of Frankenstein” (1935)

Let’s take it back to the classics, shall we? “The Bride of Frankenstein” is everything a Valentine’s horror movie should be: mad science, stitched-up lovers, and a strong female lead with questionable relationship choices. Watching Frankenstein’s monster try and fail at romance is a nice reminder that relationships can be a bit of a monster. But it’s okay—sometimes love just needs a little stitching up.

Pro Tip: If you’re feeling particularly romantic, you can dress up like a mad scientist and start your own “romantic experiments.” Who knows? Maybe you’ll create the perfect Valentine. Or, you know, accidentally summon a horrifying monster. Either way, it’s a fun night.

“Teeth” (2007)

Nothing says “I love you” like the horrifying concept of vagina dentata. This psychological horror-comedy about a girl who discovers that her body has a terrifyingly deadly secret is perfect for anyone who wants a Valentine’s Day movie that’s both awkward and extremely unsettling. If you’re having trouble finding love, don’t worry—at least you won’t have to worry about that kind of surprise on your date.

Pro Tip: Watching this movie on Valentine’s Day will either make you want to run for the hills or vow to never go on a first date again. Either way, you’re in for a wild ride.

So, whether you’re curled up on the couch alone or snuggling with your non-horrifying partner, these movies will remind you that love isn’t always roses and chocolates—sometimes it’s body parts, strange creatures, and a lot of uncomfortable situations. So this Valentine’s Day, embrace the horror of it all… after all, what’s scarier than being alone on February 14th?
