5 Horror Films Perfect For Your Valentine's Day Date

Valentine's Day is the perfect time for a romantic date night. A fancy dinner, a bouquet of roses, a night in watching a film... What's the worst that could happen? Horror films are notoriously good first date ideas because they give an excuse for the "arm behind the head" tactic, especially when your date is terrified. Grab a blanket and your significant other, because these films are sure to get you in the perfect Valentine's mood.

"Scream (1996)."

The romance between Sidney Prescott and Billy Loomis (and, arguably, Stu Macher) is iconic in modern horror due to the twist ending. What could be a better way to spend Valentine's than watching Ghostface tear up a bunch of annoying high school kids while Sidney and Billy argue over their high school relationship issues? The ending will have you and your date shocked, so grab some popcorn.

"My Bloody Valentine (1981 or 2009)."

The original "My Bloody Valentine" and the 2009 3D remake are both suitable for a position on this list, so why not watch both? While the original has that classic eighties slasher feel to it, the remake has 3D gore and Jensen Ackles. Honestly, what more could you ask for? Blood and murder is a great way to set the mood for the night, and if that doesn't work, at least you'll still have Jensen Ackles.

"The Crow (1994)."

While "The Crow" isn't technically a horror movie (more of a supernatural revenge flick), it's still one of the best love stories out there. If you think true love isn't real, this movie will definitely give you a run for your money. Eric Draven and Shelly Webster are yet another iconic horror couple who will make you question whether you've really experienced true love. After all, Eric's love for Shelly is undying.

"The Conjuring (2013)."

I know, I know. Ed and Lorraine Warren's relationship was a bit fabricated by this series. However, this badass ghost-hunting couple turned out to have one of the coolest love stories I've ever seen played out on the screen. Sure, communicating with the dead isn't one of the most romantic hobbies, but it works for them. Maybe after the film, you can play a game of "Hide and Clap" with your significant other.

"Crimson Peak (2015)."

Of course, no romantic movie list would be complete without "Crimson Peak." Sir Thomas Sharpe (played by Tom Hiddleston) is a rich, handsome man who takes a liking to an exceedingly simple woman. Ah, isn't greed beautiful? While Thomas and Edith fall deeper in love, the spirits in their mansion grow stronger. This is a great film to watch with a fiancé, especially one with a large mansion and a mysterious backstory. Just make sure not to drink your sister-in-law's tea.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
