14 “Romantic” Horror Movies
for a Bloody Romantic
Valentine’s Day!

30 Days Of Night (2007): Alaska can be breathtaking, in more ways than one. The sun is out for thirty days at a time and this means it also sets for thirty days, making it the perfect hunting grounds for a pack of vampires. This blood racing vampire film is based on the comic by Steve Niles.

We put this on the list because the main characters include an estranged couple that still has enough love for each other that they fight for each other’s survival.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992): Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and based on the classic book by Bram Stoker, this vampire tale is ultimately about undying love. Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) travels to England to court the reincarnation of his lost love, Elizabeta (Winona Ryder). Also starring Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves!

These two star-crossed loves are one of the ultimate couples to watch for Valentine’s Day horror!

When she tries to bring him back, things go awry and Tiffany ends up in a doll of her own. She and Chucky do what every normal murderous couple trapped in dolls would do, kill everyone.

This movie is corny in all of the right places. It is one of my favorites in the illustrious Chucky franchise.
