Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping love songs I’d love to see as horror movies into the ol’ VCR. 

Welcome to the first Alluring Adaptations of 2025! 

I waited until February because I wanted to focus on love songs and love-based horror plots, so it only made sense to wait until the week of Valentine’s Day. 

Additionally, last week marks the first anniversary of this series, so I wanted to release a new edition to celebrate. 

But, let’s back up… 

If this is your first Alluring Adaptations, here’s a quick primer: 

I use my twisted little brain to concoct a plot based on a song. 

Sometimes, lyrics from the song are included in the plot, and other times, I just use the song as a jumping-off point. 

That’s it! 

I also want to go ahead and give one quick disclaimer before anyone comes for me… 

I’m aware that Tiffany’s version of “I Think We’re Alone Now” is a cover of Tommy James & the Shondells’ original. 

I just think Tiffany’s version lends itself more to the vibe I’m going for. 

Alrighty, that should do us with introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are four love songs I think would make good horror movies: 

“Somebody to Love” by Jefferson Airplane 

For her entire life, Josie Jefferson’s overbearing and overly religious mother has told her that her worth is wrapped up in finding a husband and becoming a dutiful housewife, aka she “needs somebody to love.” However, Josie is closeted and is starting to fall for the new girl in school, Mya. 

When Josie’s mother finds a note in Josie’s backpack and realizes her daughter isn’t straight, she flies off the handle. As Josie tries to defend herself, there’s a tragic accident, leaving her mother dead. She turns to Mya for help, who promises she can help bring her mother back, but things take an unexpected turn when Josie’s mother comes back more overbearing and overly religious than ever. Can Josie finally stand up to her once and for all, or will “all the joy within [her] die”? 

“You Belong to Me” by Patsy Cline 

Jess Cline has been dating their partner, Parker, for over three years now, and they trust him…really. It’s just that…they’ve been hurt before, and he travels a lot for work. Unbeknownst to Parker, Jess has put a tracker on his phone, and when some of the locations don’t quite align with where he should be, Jess starts to get suspicious. Also, they swear they see Parker’s ex in the background of some of the photos he’s been sending. 

The longer they’re alone, the more Jess starts to believe Parker’s being unfaithful, even though he denies it. Are Jess’s past insecurities starting to emerge, or is Parker cheating? Either way, Jess is going to make sure Parker remembers that he belongs to them. 

“Heartbeats” by The Knife 

After a nasty breakup, Karin decides to be spontaneous and have a one night stand with Ryan, a charming yet mysterious guy she met out at her local bar. As it turns out, Ryan is actually a vampire who turns Karin after not having the heart to simply drain her. When Karin wakes up, Ryan is nowhere to be found, only leaving behind a note with basic instructions and a mixed CD (which includes “Heartbeats” by The Knife). 

That was over 20 years ago. 

Since then, Karin has adjusted to her life as an undead creature of the night fairly well, but has continued to try to find Ryan. When she finally tracks down a lead, Karin learns that being a vampire may be the least complicated part of Ryan’s life. 

“I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tiffany* 

Jay and Mark have been married for the past 10 years and are your normal, average couple. There are just two problems: Jay and Mark are both serial killers, and neither one knows about the other’s secret. On one fateful night, their secrets are revealed, and it turns out that their shared passion might be the spark they’ve been looking for to reignite their marriage. But as the bodies start stacking up, so do the problems. Can Jay handle Mark’s new level of infamy, or is their marriage headed for a killer breakup?

(I see this playing out as a horror comedy)
