5 Couple-Centered Horror Movies That Will Make You Glad to Be Single This Valentine's Day
Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for our ghoulish Valentine's Day horror movie picks. Read on — if you dare! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner — y'know, that time of the year where stores sell overpriced goods like flowers and chocolates. If you’re a singleton, Valentine’s Day is also the time when your singledom is emphasized. For example, you can’t take advantage of couples' discounts (sigh). I especially shudder to think what’s going on inside movie theaters at this time of year, with couples sneaking kisses rather than paying attention to the movie. What better way to avoid the Valentine's madness than cosying up with a movie at home? You definitely won't feel so lonely — or dare to switch the lights off — after taking your pick from these horror flicks.

The Top 10 Best Horror Remakes
I've seen a lot of remakes in my 24 years on this planet, and one theme seems to reign true with every film; it's either a hit or a miss. There's no in between. The remake either leaves you feeling satisfied, or makes you ask "WTF DID THEY DO TO MY CHILDHOOD?" I'm all about positivity at the moment, so I'll be counting down the 10 best horror remakes in my opinion (film numero uno being the very best).

The Darkness
Reegan was ready for bed. After a long day, she knew it wouldn't take long for her to fall asleep. She did her nightly routine and then crawled into her warm bed. After snuggling under her big comforter, she was asleep in under five minutes. Reegan never had nightmares, not really. If she did they were few and far between. But right now, she was experiencing a bad one.

The Origin of 'Sleeping Beauty'—More 'Crime Watch' Than Fairy Tale
We all remember fairy tales from our childhood. They were sweet and cute, had a princess and a prince, a frog and a witch, and they all lived happily ever after. The bad guys always got what was coming to them in the end, but it was never a thing to dwell on. We don't want to sully the happiness by thinking too much about what befell them.

I Am Eli
I AM ELI As I walk, I can hear the small branches cracking under my boots. The forest sways and the trees whisper as I’m on my way to kill. I've thought this through time and time again. I have been carefully waiting and planning the perfect time. I have every detail I need to be ready for this kill. She’s single, no family, lives alone, and doesn't attend a college. Pretty much non-existent in any type of community. She has no pets, so there will be no disturbance to me upon entering her home. She lives on the edge of these woods. In fact, I can see her home now.

Planning on Having Some Fun This Easter Weekend? Watch out for Ferocious Demon Babies!
When I was a kid, we were always advised not to go out during Holy Week (as a form of penance). So when we stayed at home, aside from Biblical movies on television, there are also horror movies that depict exactly why you wouldn't want to go out on Holy Week.

9 Reasons You'd Be Accused of Witchcraft in the 17th Century
If my ancestors had settled in a predominantly Christian/Puritan area in the late 16th century — and in the Western side of the world — I'd probably never have been born. Because they were mostly healers (and women), they'd likely have been accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake after correctly diagnosing that the neighbor's kid went insane because of a rabies-infected dog; or the neighbor's milk spoiled because they totally forgot they had milk in the first place.

The Doctor Is In
Dr. Robert Alaric was a professional plastic surgeon. He helped people perfect the flaws they saw in themselves. It was something that he secretly enjoyed not for the happiness after the surgery, but the misery before. He enjoyed them coming to him depressed and self loathing. He often enhanced that by telling them they were right the body parts they hated were hideous. The truth was the doctor was a twisted person, but they were too caught up in their own hate that they did not catch on to it.

Nightmares and Demons
During the night sleep can be fleeting. a branch against a window and sound like witches fingernails, or the house settling can sound like ghoulish moans. being afraid of the dark is a primitive reaction, and most of the time our minds can churn out tons of logical explanations when things get weird.
