Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Valentine’s Day horror into the ol’ VCR. 

Friends, it’s that wonderful time of the year where love is in the air…along with blood and body parts. 

Like with many of the horror subgenres, there aren’t a TON of Valentine’s Day horror movies, but the ones that do exist are some heavy hitters. 

Sure, you have movies like The Love Witch and Bride of Chucky that have love as a focal point, but we’re going to hone in on the movies with a Valentine’s Day setting. 

With this criteria in mind, I’m here today with three full-length films and one segment as offerings. 

I’m sure you can already guess one, and yes, I’m choosing the original over the remake. The remake does have a special place in my heart because it’s in 3D and also just goofy, but you can’t beat the original. 

Without any further ado, let’s dive into some Valentine’s Day horror. 

She’s everything. 

My Bloody Valentine (1981) 

We’re starting strong. The original My Bloody Valentine is a true classic. Hearts in chocolate boxes? Corpses in washing machines? Bitchin’ outfits? This movie has everything. 

Now, the 2009 version isn’t unwatchable by any means; it’s a real who’s who of the 2000s, and the 3D aspect is fun. But, when given the choice, I’ll choose the original every time. 

The “Valentine’s Day” segment from Holidays 

We’ve talked about this before, but I love Holidays. Some segments are stronger than others, and the “Valentine’s Day” segment is definitely one of the stronger ones. In fact, I’d watch an entire feature film adaptation. 

I don’t remember this episode of The O.C. 

My Valentine 

Man, I miss Blumhouse’s Into the Dark series so much. I was downright giddy to see what the movie of the month would be. And My Valentine is definitely one of my favorites. It’s like if Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was a horror movie, and I love every single second of it. 

Valentine 

This movie has more plot holes than the kids at Camp Green Lake could ever dig, but it’s just so bad in the best way. They basically cast some of the hottest actors of the early 2000s and then asked questions later. I don’t rewatch this one as often as I should, but when I do, I always have a good time.
