Thoughts on Valentine's Day horror movies

The obvious three are My Bloody Valentine (1981), Valentine (2001), and My Bloody Valentine (2009). I think the original MBV is a solid 80s slasher, and the remake is great because Tom Atkins is in it. I try to watch them both every year, and this year, I'll get points for it. 😜

I don't remember much about Valentine, but it's due for a rewatch. I remember thinking it was kinda stupid, because his nose is always bleeding. What a loser he was.

It's also come to my attention that X-Ray is aka "By My Valentine, or Else..." (also aka "Hospital Massacre"), and that was another solid 1981 slasher. I don't remember much to do with the actual holiday or love themes, but I want to give it a rewatch anyway.

Also, the 1972 Tales from the Crypt has that segment with Peter Cushing where he receives all those wonderful valentines cards from the children.

Never saw Picnic at Hanging Rock yet, but that's set on V-Day apparently.



I totally googled this list, but it looks like Valentine's Day doesn't have a lot of other horror titles to offer. I still don't understand why MBV never started a franchise. Even the remake was fun, despite it's stupid twist ending.
