Love isn’t soft this week — it’s sharp. In Valentine’s Week Horror History (Feb 9–15), we trace the anniversaries where romance curdles into obsession, suburbia turns sinister, and the holiday’s heart-shaped sheen hides something mean underneath.
Inside this episode (Quick Hits + Spotlight):

  • Feb 11, 1981 — My Bloody Valentine: blue-collar slasher dread in a mining town where the tunnels feel alive and the “tradition” is murder. (U.S. this week: free via Kanopy / buy-rent on major VOD.) 
  • Feb 13, 2009 — Friday the 13th (reboot): Jason’s modern-era brutality — fast, nasty, and built like a greatest-hits mixtape of the franchise’s worst impulses. (U.S. this week: Netflix and Tubi, plus VOD.) 
  • Feb 14, 1991 — The Silence of the Lambs: prestige terror and psychological horror that changed the culture — and proved “thriller” can still be nightmare fuel. (U.S. this week: AMC+.) 
  • Feb 13, 2019 — Happy Death Day 2U: time-loop mayhem with real heart and a wicked sense of humor. (U.S. this week: HBO Max.) 

Deep-Cut Spotlight:
  • Feb 12, 1975 — The Stepford Wives: no monster suit required — just a perfect town, perfect smiles, and a nightmare hiding behind domestic bliss. (U.S. this week: Tubi.) 

Birthday Roll (4): Emma Roberts (1991), Natalie Dormer (1982), Simon Pegg (1970), Claire Bloom (1931).
Weekly Recommendation (Valentine’s “bouquet” stack): Misery (1990) (MGM+), Audition (1999), The Fly (1986) (Tubi), plus modern Valentine carnage with Heart Eyes (2025) (Netflix) and Companion (2025) (HBO Max). 
If you like your romance with slashers, psychological dread, body horror, and suburban nightmares, this week’s timeline is a whole box of chocolates… and at least one of them bites back.

1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:07.160
It's the week of February ninth through February fifteenth, Valentine's Week.

2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:13.119
The calendar is all roses and heart shaped candy, but horror,

3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:18.160
as always shows up with work. Boots on picture, a

4
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.640
mine shaft, damp rock, stale air, the thud of boots

5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.800
echoing down a tunnel that doesn't want you in it.

6
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.480
A headlamp flickers somewhere in the dark, a breathing mask

7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.079
hisses like a snake. Now snap to a different kind

8
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.920
of hunting ground. Fluorescent hallways, locked doors, a file folder

9
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.200
full of missing women, and the soft, terrifying calm of

10
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.799
a man who smiles without warmth. And then, because this

11
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:54.439
is horror history, someone inevitably says, let's go to Crystal Lake,

12
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.000
as if that sentence has ever ended well. In other words,

13
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.840
if you're planning a date night, this is the week

14
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.000
where horror History hands you a bouquet and hides a

15
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.519
blade in the ribbon. This week's anniversaries are a Valentine sampler,

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.359
platter for monsters, blue collar slasher, dread prestige, psychological horror,

17
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.840
a reboot built like a roller coaster, and a sequel

18
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.760
that turns dying into homework, and instead of a single recommendation,

19
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.560
I've got a stack of love turns sick horror recommendations

20
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.200
to carry you through the holiday, whether you're curled up

21
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.280
with your sweetie or you think you're alone and you're

22
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:43.439
suddenly suspicious about what exactly's in those chocolates and where

23
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.640
they came from. So light a candle, put on something nice,

24
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.319
and if the room gets a little too quiet, don't worry.

25
00:01:51.920 --> 00:02:05.959
That's just horror history setting the table. Welcome to this

26
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.599
week in horror History, your fast fun tour through the

27
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:16.520
creepiest anniversaries in film, TV, books, and games. Tonight we're

28
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.120
talking about February ninth through fifteenth coming up. A Valentine's

29
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.439
party that goes underground and comes back up with fewer

30
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:32.240
people than it brought. A masked legend returns faster, meaner,

31
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.199
and way too comfortable in the woods. A prestige nightmare

32
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.039
where the monster doesn't need a blade because the voice

33
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.400
is the weapon. And a sequel that turns dying into

34
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.719
a weekly appointment until you crack the rules. So let's

35
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.439
flip open the creepy calendar and see what dates are

36
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:02.800
circled in A little heart made of human Blood. February eleventh,

37
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.240
nineteen eighty one. My Bloody Valentine is released in the

38
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.240
United States. A miner's town throws a Valentine's party. Hey,

39
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.159
how nice A killer shows up dressed for the shift,

40
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.400
heavy boots, mining gear, and that cold industrial look that

41
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.199
makes every hallway feel like a trap. My Bloody Valentine

42
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:32.080
is pure blue collar slasher, tight spaces, hard shadows, and

43
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.719
a villain who feels like he belongs underground, and he does.

44
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:41.560
It also has a weird, infamous afterlife. It was heavily

45
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.879
cut for violence in its original run, then spent decades

46
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.039
as the one that got trimmed, which only made fans

47
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.159
want it more, which led to a great blu ray

48
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.639
and inevitably a four k UHD release with all the

49
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.439
gooey sticky parts put back in, and I do recommend them.

50
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.080
It looks great, as good as the film could ever

51
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.719
hope to. My Bloody Valentine is a phenomenal example of

52
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.919
Canadian made slasher fun right at the beginning of the

53
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:18.040
boom for the hack and slash genre. Box office wise,

54
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.199
it did about five point seven million dollars on an

55
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.839
estimated two point three million profitable but treated like a

56
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:32.160
disappointment by its distributors, which makes its later cult status bittersweet,

57
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:37.120
like finding a human finger in your chocolates. As far

58
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.399
as where to watch it, you can, of course rent

59
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.079
or buy it on Amazon, Prime Video, Apple TV, and

60
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.759
Fandango at home, and if you want to watch it

61
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.319
for free, you can check it out on Canopy with

62
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.199
your Library card. And the remake My Bloody Valentine three

63
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.399
D is definitely a hoot, even if you do have

64
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.560
to watch it in two D. Come on, would it

65
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.000
even b Valentine's Day without a killer minor running a muck?

66
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:12.120
I think not. February thirteenth, two thousand and nine, the

67
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.240
Friday the thirteenth reboot is released in theaters. This one's

68
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.040
a speed run through everything people expect from the brand.

69
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.399
It's got sexy camp counselors, a fast physical Jason, and

70
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.399
a we'll just take a quick look attitude toward abandoned

71
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.560
cabins that should be punishable by law but instead are

72
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.040
by machete. What's interesting in hindsight is how cleanly it

73
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.800
represents late two thousand studio horror. It's slick, it's mean,

74
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.160
and it's built like a roller coaster. I've had a

75
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.600
back and forth personally with the Friday the Thirteenth reboots.

76
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.240
Sometimes I feel like I don't give it a fair shake,

77
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.680
but then I revisit it and it doesn't quite click

78
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.279
with me. But I know there are many of you

79
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.079
out there who adore this, and I would never yuck

80
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.720
You're yum. One thing though, that's always blown my mind

81
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.240
is the box office seemed very very happy about ninety

82
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.160
two million dollars worldwide on a nineteen million dollar budget.

83
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.560
In this era, that's a hit. Yet it didn't spawn

84
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.360
a ton of sequels or additional Jason content. And this

85
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.879
was before the big kerfuffle between Sean Cunningham, the director

86
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.680
and producer of Friday the Thirteenth, and its writer Victor Miller.

87
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.399
As far as where to watch, you can rent or

88
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.759
buy it via Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at home.

89
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:47.879
February fourteenth, nineteen ninety one. The Silence of the Lambs

90
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.399
hits theaters. On paper, according to the Academy, it's a thriller,

91
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.240
but we all know the truth. It's horror, basements, captivity,

92
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:04.040
skin crawling, psychological dread, and a monster who doesn't need

93
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.000
a mask because his mind is the weapon. The Silence

94
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.959
of the Lambs didn't just scare people, It validated a

95
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:18.399
whole lane of serious horror storytelling, and the industry was

96
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:22.639
forced to admit it. Financially, it's the kind of lightning

97
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:27.079
that almost never happens. Making roughly two hundred and seventy

98
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.000
two point four million dollars worldwide on a nineteen million

99
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.319
dollar budget. That's not just a hit, that's a cultural event.

100
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.079
And I think if you're listening to this, you have

101
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.079
to at least know of Silence of the Lambs, even

102
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.040
if you've never seen the film. And if you haven't, well,

103
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.519
now is the perfect time, because would it even be

104
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.199
date night without some fine dining. I ate his lever

105
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.759
with some father means and a nice gunty. As far

106
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.839
as where to watch it, well, it's streaming on AMC

107
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.800
Plus with subscription and is rentable on Amazon Prime Video,

108
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:16.560
Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and YouTube. February thirteenth, twenty nineteen,

109
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:22.160
Happy Death Day to You, a personal favorite of mine. Yes,

110
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.040
it is a sequel and the first film was Groundhog Day,

111
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.160
but make it a slasher film on a campus. The

112
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:33.440
sequel does the bold thing. However, it doesn't just repeat

113
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.919
the trick. It expands on the rules. It leans harder

114
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.440
into science fiction, keeps the breezy horror comedy rhythm, and

115
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.200
still treats death like a punchline that lands because the

116
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.399
stakes are oddly sincere. It's one of the reasons I

117
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.000
feel like these two films do stand out so well.

118
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.320
And at the box office it did around sixty four

119
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.840
point six million dollars worldwide on just a nine million

120
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.279
dollar budget. Solid business for a genre sequel that takes

121
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.720
quite a left turn in a lot of ways. I

122
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.879
think intentionally the filmmakers made Happy Death Day to You

123
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:17.120
reference Back to the Future Part two in the musical

124
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.200
flourishes in some of the ways the characters are interacting,

125
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.080
some of the decisions they make, and honestly, I welcomed it.

126
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.000
It was a lot of fun. So if you get

127
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.000
a chance, please watch Happy Death Day, and of course

128
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.519
it's sequel, Happy Death Day to You. As far as

129
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.919
where to watch it, you can rent or buy it

130
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.720
on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and h Fandango at home.

131
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.399
All right, my spookies and all the lovers out there,

132
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.679
time for a quick breather. But when we come back,

133
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.840
we're heading into Our Deep cut Spotlight to February twelfth,

134
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.919
nineteen seventy five, a suburban nightmare where the smiles are

135
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.759
far too perfect, the neighbors are far too friendly, and

136
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.559
romance starts to feel like a set of instructions. And hey,

137
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.360
don't forget this Friday, we'll have a brand new episode

138
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.120
of cutting Deep into Horror and it's our Valentine's Day

139
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:21.720
special on one of my favorite films, twenty twenty two's Pearl,

140
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:26.840
directed by Ty West. Love obsession and that slow, sweet

141
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.840
slip into something sharp. You do not want to miss it,

142
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.440
So make sure you're subscribed on your favorite podcasting app.

143
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:40.480
And speaking of sick love, tomorrow right here on Weekly Spooky,

144
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.399
We've got a brand new horror novella, Will You Be

145
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:49.799
My Undead Valentine? By Bruce Haney. It starts like a sweet,

146
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:54.960
small town winter romance, a lonely wallflower, a Friday night dance,

147
00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:00.799
a Valentine's promise, and then it lurches into something colder,

148
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:06.120
because on Valentine's Day nineteen fifty eight, love doesn't just

149
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.679
break your heart. It crawls back out of the ground

150
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:29.080
to collect the rest of you. Welcome back, Let's go

151
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.240
to a neighborhood where everything looks perfect, and that is

152
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:40.200
the problem. February twelfth, nineteen seventy five. The Stepford Wives

153
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.519
hits theaters. If you want proof that horror doesn't need

154
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:50.480
a monster suit, Stepford is that proof. The dread is polite,

155
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.840
It smiles, It offers you something to drink, and it

156
00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:00.480
tells you you're simply overreacting. Joanna Eberhart moved to a

157
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.159
picture perfect Connecticut suburb and starts noticing a pattern. The

158
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:12.120
women are off, not quirky, not an unfortunate new haircut,

159
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:18.639
oft in a way that feels manufactured, like personality sanded

160
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.440
down into something shiny and compliant. The film is built

161
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.799
on paranoia, but it's the kind that creeps in slowly.

162
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:33.159
You're the only one noticing, which makes you doubt yourself,

163
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.480
which makes it worse. And the ultimate reveal is less

164
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.679
jump scare than existential punch horror as the fear of

165
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:48.559
being erased. And what makes it stand out is how

166
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:55.000
ordinary the horror looks. No cobwebbed castle, no forbidden tome,

167
00:12:55.320 --> 00:13:00.559
just pta smiles, cocktail chatter, and the slow realization that

168
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.360
everyone around you has agreed on a version of reality.

169
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:09.039
Where you are the only problem. It's based on Ira

170
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.519
Leven's nineteen seventy two novel and it plays like a

171
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:17.480
sattire with sharp teeth, Funny for a second, then chilling

172
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:21.080
when you realize the joke is on you. It's also

173
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.399
one of those rare films that minted a term that

174
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:29.240
outgrew it. Stepford Wife became shorthand for a specific kind

175
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:33.600
of cultural dread, and that's a kind of immortality. Most

176
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.320
films and books would kill for Give Stepford Wives another watch,

177
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.039
and I assure you it holds up just as well

178
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.080
as you remember, And if you haven't seen it before,

179
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.080
maybe you actually have. As far as where to watch

180
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.240
it right now, you can check it out with your

181
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.799
subscription on Paramount Plus or rent it at the usual suspects,

182
00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:03.559
Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and Apple TV. Now,

183
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:08.360
let's light a romantic candle for all the horror birthdays

184
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:15.039
we're celebrating. February tenth, nineteen ninety one. Emma Roberts is Born,

185
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.799
a modern scream queen staple from Scream Queens to American

186
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:25.120
Horror Story and lots of other fun and fearful films

187
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:30.000
and television series in between. Have a very happy birthday,

188
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:37.480
Emma Roberts. On February eleventh, nineteen eighty two, Natalie Dormer

189
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:42.639
is born sharp edged menace and gothic glamour across her

190
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:48.360
genre work make her highly memorable in her performances, especially

191
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.279
in the highly underrated horror film The Forest, which I've

192
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.080
always liked even if everybody else doesn't, and I'm not

193
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.000
changing my mind, so deal with it. Happy Birthday, Natalie Dormy.

194
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.799
And on February fourteenth, Valentine's Day, nineteen seventy, Simon Pegg

195
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.879
was born a man who's grown to horror comedy royalty

196
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:15.320
thanks to his starring role in Sean of the Dead,

197
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:19.720
as well as films like slaughter House Rules and Inheritance.

198
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:26.320
Happy Birthday, Simon Pegg, and Happy Valentine's Day two And

199
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:32.080
On February fifteenth, nineteen thirty one, Claire Bloom is born

200
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:37.360
a classic era legend with genre roots including the nineteen

201
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.679
sixty three classic The Haunting, giving her all in every

202
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.039
performance she does, which allowed The Haunting to be far

203
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:53.320
more haunting. Have a great birthday, Claire Bloom, and for

204
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:58.440
our then and now, Back then Valentine's Horror was blunt

205
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:04.039
coal dust, and the idea that the holiday itself could

206
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:09.039
be a trap. Now the fear gets curated, its prestige

207
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:13.960
and psychology. It's time loops and genre mashups. It's the monster,

208
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:18.480
is the system hiding behind a perfect marriage or a

209
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:23.600
perfect smile. But the core hasn't changed. Valentine's Day is

210
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:29.600
a ritual about closeness. Horror loves rituals because every ritual

211
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.679
has rules, and horror lives in the moment you realize

212
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.879
the rules can be used against you. Back then, you

213
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.759
caught these movies at a theater or a video store,

214
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.080
and the fear traveled by word of mouth, hushed tones

215
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.919
of don't watch that alone. Now the fear is just

216
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.440
one click away, and it's also one click away from

217
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:57.519
disappearing to another service. Horror has become easier to find,

218
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.120
yet harder to pin down, which is a very on

219
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:08.000
brand way for the genre to live. All right, Valentine's

220
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.839
Week calls for a different kind of bouquet. Instead of

221
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.440
one pick for the weekly recommendation, Here's a stack of

222
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:21.480
horror movies where love kurdles, devotion turns into fixation, and

223
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.480
the sweet stuff gets sharp edges perfect to watch with

224
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.519
your sweetie, or to watch alone while you eye that

225
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:34.119
candy box like it's got a pulse. First up from

226
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.640
nineteen ninety is Misery, a film directed by the recently

227
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:44.440
lost Rob Reiner. Devotion as captivity, love becomes ownership, and

228
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:49.759
ownership becomes violence. Misery is a lot of fun, especially

229
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.880
if you want to show someone how much you love

230
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.960
them by breaking their legs. As far as where to

231
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.519
watch it, it's streaming on MGM Plus right now with

232

234
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.799
from nineteen ninety nine. It starts like a lonely romance,

235
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:13.799
then turns into a nightmare you cannot unsea. You're gonna

236
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.400

guessed it Apple TV. Next up is The Fly from

240
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.000
nineteen eighty six, one of the best love and body

241
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:35.640
horror tragedies ever made, Intimacy colliding with transformation in the

242
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:40.279
most gooey way possible. It's free to watch right now

and Apple TV. Now, for a more modern take, we

246
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.200
have twenty twenty five's Heart Eyes. It's got Valentine's energy,

247
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.440
but with all the murder that you've come to expect.

248
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.079
If if you're listening to the show, I loved this one.

249
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.039
I saw it in the theater and had a blast

250
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.559
with it. I really do recommend if you haven't seen

251
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.519

252

Fandango at Home. And another one from last year, Companion

255
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.720
twenty twenty five a date night setup that curdles fast

256
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:26.759
and I tell you why, but I don't want to

257
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.599
ruin the twist. If you haven't heard anything about this one,

258
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.720
but it is a doozy, you can watch it on

259
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:36.359

Enjoy the movie, enjoy the chocolates, and if one of

262
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:49.400
them tastes off, well, maybe switched to potato chips instead.

263
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.960

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:35.319
