Valentine's Day Horror
8 years ago
Commission Info coming soon....
Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Good time for chocolates, netflix and chill on a love day.
It's very small horror films, probably only three that's set on Valentine's Day. Only two are to check it, the last one, Valentine (2001), is just a lame teeny bopper flick that hops aboard the Scream trend like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urban Legend and such.
My Bloody Valentine (1981)
Someone seized the opportunity to snatch up this holiday spot during the slasher film craze of the early 80s. A maniac, Harry Warden, returns to a small mining town after they dare revive the Valentine's day dance 20 years later after he murdered two of his superiors for causing a freak mining accident that killed all the miners except Harry. Whom he cannibalize and drove to insanity after being trapped in the collapse for six weeks. Pick-axe murders and bloody hearts would make any splatter gore lover to offer his heart to this underrated horror flick! While unfortunately the violent gore was butchered by the censors when the MPAA when they first began to crack down on violence in movies (according to the director George Mihalka, it was due to after John Lennon was assassinated), it was thankfully released uncut on DVD by Lionsgate.
The film was later remade in 2009, as a 3D slasher flick. Which I gotta say, it's actually really good. Intentionally done to be the classic early 80s slasher that understands itself and the audience. Plus, splendid amount of fun gore in it.
X-Ray (1982)
AKA Hospital Massacre, AKA Be My Valentine, or Else... What's a good Valentine to celebrate than having a hospital visit turn into a nightmare? That's what happens with poor Susan, who menaced by a psychopath in a scrub seeking revenge against her for humiliating him on Valentine's Day in their childhood.
That's pretty much it. I think it's time to catch up on it, this could use another. Maybe with some lustful monsters.
