"Without Valentine's Day, February would be . . . well, January." ~Jim Gaffigan~
|
|
Welcome to February, the month of romance, chocolate and flowers, cozy dinners for two. Love is in the air. Valentine's Day will soon be upon us. Isn't it beautiful? Meh. This month's spotlight is focusing on something a little less. . . romantic. Horror movies! Now don't get me wrong, not all horror movies are created equal. There are zombie movies, slasher films, ghost stories. I also find a good psychological thriller can sometimes be considered horror. I've rounded up a list of movies that I think fall under the horror genre. I hope you agree and I hope you find something you like. So curl up on the couch with your loved one and get comfortable. But not too comfortable; after all, do you ever REALLY know the person you're with? ~Marie~
