These Are the Best Spooky Romance Movies You Haven’t Watched Yet

1-21

Cropped About

About this gallery:

For this list, we focused on movies that blend horror and romance – in more ways than one. That means you’ll find a few films where the love interest is, well… not exactly human. (Hey, love is love, even if your partner has fangs, scales, or a habit of lurking in the shadows.) To keep things organized, we’ve listed the movies in order of their release year.

Think we missed a spooky romance gem? Let us know in the comments – we’re always up for more eerie love stories!

Cropped My Bloody Valentine

My Bloody Valentine (1981)

Ah, nothing says romance quite like a deranged miner wielding a pickaxe, right? My Bloody Valentine takes the slasher genre and gives it a love-infused twist, proving that Valentine’s Day isn’t always about roses and chocolates – sometimes, it's about heart-shaped candy boxes filled with actual human hearts. The film follows a group of small-town folks trying to revive their Valentine’s Day dance, only to be terrorized by a masked killer with a grudge. There’s young love, forbidden romance, and enough suspense to make your own heart race. If you’re into old-school horror with a side of tragic backstories and lovers caught in a deadly game, this one’s for you. Just maybe don’t watch it right before a romantic dinner. | © Paramount Pictures

Cropped Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her (1992)

Some love stories last a lifetime – this one lasts way longer. Death Becomes Her is an outrageous dark comedy that asks: what if immortality came with... side effects? Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn play two self-obsessed women battling over eternal youth (and Bruce Willis, of all people), thanks to a mysterious potion that makes them unkillable – but definitely not unbreakable. It's got sharp wit, jaw-dropping visual effects (literally, heads get twisted 180 degrees), and a satirical take on vanity and relationships. If you like your romance served with a heavy dose of camp, some light necromancy, and a pinch of moral ambiguity, this one will have you screaming (with laughter and mild horror). | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Tammy and the T Rex

Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)

This movie is as ridiculous as it sounds, and that’s exactly why it belongs on this list. Imagine a rom-com where a teenager’s boyfriend is murdered, only to have his brain implanted into an animatronic T-Rex. Yes, that happens. Tammy and the T-Rex follows Tammy (Denise Richards) as she reunites with her now-dino-fied boyfriend, leading to a bizarre, hilarious, and oddly heartfelt love story. Originally intended as an R-rated horror flick (before getting hilariously edited into a PG-13 comedy), it’s a wild mix of absurdity, camp, and genuine emotional moments. If you ever wanted a love story that features both tragic romance and a prehistoric rampage, congratulations – you’ve found it. | © Imperial Entertainment

Cropped Corpse Bride

Corpse Bride (2005)

Tim Burton has made a career out of making the macabre look absolutely magical, and Corpse Bride is no exception. It’s a love story, sure, but one that features accidental marriages, an undead bride, and a journey between the land of the living and the dead. When the awkward yet endearing Victor accidentally proposes to a corpse (as one does), he finds himself torn between two women – one alive, one not-so-much. The animation is stunning, the music is hauntingly beautiful, and the romance is genuinely touching. It’s a love triangle like no other, proving that sometimes, "till death do us part" is just the beginning. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Cropped Let the Right One In

Let the Right One In (2008)

Vampires and romance are a classic combo, but Let the Right One In ditches the gothic castles and brooding bad boys for something far more intimate – and chilling. This Swedish horror masterpiece tells the story of a lonely boy named Oskar who befriends Eli, a mysterious girl who only comes out at night and may or may not have a... taste for blood. Their bond is equal parts sweet and unsettling, capturing the innocence of first love with a backdrop of eerie, snow-covered horror. It’s atmospheric, heartbreaking, and deeply human – despite, you know, the whole vampire thing. If you want a spooky romance with genuine emotional depth (and a little bit of bloodletting), this is one you don’t want to miss. | © Magnolia Pictures

Cropped Thirst

Thirst (2009)

Nothing screams romance like a doomed love story between a Catholic priest and a newly turned vampire, right? Thirst is a beautifully twisted take on vampire mythology, brought to life by Oldboy director Park Chan-wook. It follows a well-intentioned priest who volunteers for a medical experiment – only to end up undead and craving blood. Things get even more complicated when he falls in love with his best friend’s wife, leading to a passionate, deadly, and morally messy affair. The film balances sensuality, horror, and dark humor in a way that only South Korean cinema can. If you want a vampire love story that’s as tragic as it is steamy (and a little gory), Thirst delivers. | © CJ Entertainment

Cropped Warm Bodies

Warm Bodies (2013)

If Romeo and Juliet had zombies, you’d get Warm Bodies. This quirky horror-comedy flips the script on the usual zombie outbreak – because, apparently, love is the cure. R, our undead protagonist, is just trying to enjoy a normal post-apocalyptic (after)life when he falls for Julie, a very alive human who awakens something inside him... like, literally, his heart starts beating again. It’s self-aware, charming, and full of surprisingly heartfelt moments, proving that even brain-eaters deserve a shot at love. Plus, Nicholas Hoult makes for an oddly adorable zombie, which is not something I ever expected to say. If you like your romance with a side of undead awkwardness, this one’s a no-brainer (pun absolutely intended). | © Summit Entertainment

Cropped Only Lovers Left Alive

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)

What if vampires were less about biting necks and more about existential crises, deep conversations, and vintage rock records? Enter Only Lovers Left Alive, Jim Jarmusch’s slow-burning, melancholic love letter to immortality. Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston play centuries-old vampire lovers, Eve and Adam, who spend their eternal existence brooding about art, literature, and the sorry state of humanity. The film is dripping with gothic atmosphere, effortlessly cool performances, and a romance that feels both cosmic and deeply intimate. If you’re in the mood for a vampire love story that’s less horror and more poetic meditation on time, love, and meaning – this one’s an immortal classic. | © Sony Pictures Classics

Cropped CRIMSON PEAK

Crimson Peak (2015)

Imagine falling in love, getting swept off your feet by a mysterious yet dashing stranger, and then moving into his haunted mansion, only to realize – whoops! – there are ghosts. Crimson Peak is Guillermo del Toro’s gothic horror masterpiece, dripping in gorgeous visuals, eerie ghostly figures, and a romance that is as tragic as it is twisted. Mia Wasikowska plays an aspiring writer who marries Tom Hiddleston’s brooding, possibly murderous aristocrat, while Jessica Chastain lurks in the shadows, being terrifying. The movie is less about jump scares and more about unsettling dread, unraveling secrets, and a love story wrapped in tragedy. It’s lush, it’s haunting, and it will make you think twice about moving into a creaky old mansion. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped The Love Witch

The Love Witch (2016)

If 1960s Technicolor horror and feminist satire had a baby, it would be The Love Witch. This delightfully bizarre film follows Elaine, a modern-day witch who is looking for true love... even if it means leaving a trail of dead men in her wake. Anna Biller, the film’s director, writer, and production designer, crafts a stunning visual homage to vintage horror and romance films, complete with bold colors, dramatic eyeliner, and enough camp to make even the most serious horror fan crack a smile. But beneath the stunning aesthetics, there’s a sharp critique of gender roles, desire, and obsession. It’s sexy, spooky, and darkly hilarious – just like the perfect love spell gone wrong. | © Oscilloscope Laboratories

Cropped The Shape of Water

The Shape of Water (2017)

They say love knows no bounds, but The Shape of Water takes that idea to a whole new (aquatic) level. Guillermo del Toro’s beautifully weird fairy tale tells the story of Elisa, a lonely mute woman who falls in love with – wait for it – a humanoid fish creature. And honestly? It works. Their romance is tender, moving, and somehow way less weird than it sounds. Against the backdrop of Cold War paranoia, this film blends stunning visuals, heartfelt emotion, and a killer score to create a love story like no other. If you ever thought Beauty and the Beast could use more water tanks and government conspiracies, this one’s for you. | © Fox Searchlight Pictures

Cropped A Ghost Story

A Ghost Story (2017)

If you’ve ever wondered what happens after we die, A Ghost Story has an answer: you walk around in a bedsheet, watching life move on without you. This film takes the idea of a haunting and turns it into a slow, meditative, and surprisingly emotional look at love, loss, and the passage of time. Casey Affleck spends most of the movie as a literal ghost, watching his grieving wife (Rooney Mara) eat an entire pie in real time – yes, really. It’s a hauntingly beautiful film that lingers long after the credits roll, proving that love, much like ghosts, never really goes away. | © A24

Cropped Thelma

Thelma (2017)

Imagine finding out you have supernatural powers at the same time you’re falling in love for the first time – yeah, Thelma is Carrie meets Call Me by Your Name, and it’s every bit as intense as that sounds. This Norwegian psychological thriller follows Thelma, a shy college student who starts experiencing strange, uncontrollable abilities when she falls for her classmate, Anja. Cue the repressed emotions, religious guilt, and some truly eerie supernatural occurrences. It’s a slow burn, but one that delivers a mesmerizing mix of horror and romance, making you question whether love is magic or just really, really dangerous. | © SF Studios

Cropped Ready or Not

Ready or Not (2019)

Weddings are already stressful enough without the whole “your in-laws are trying to murder you” thing, but that’s exactly what happens in Ready or Not. This darkly comedic horror flick follows Grace (Samara Weaving), a new bride who quickly learns that her ultra-rich husband’s family has a very... unconventional wedding night tradition: hunting her down in a deadly game of hide and seek. What follows is a bloody, hilarious, and surprisingly empowering story of survival, love, and in-law horror stories taken to the extreme. If you like your romance served with a side of absolute carnage, this one’s a must-watch. | © Fox Searchlight Pictures

Cropped Titane

Titane (2021)

Where do I even start with Titane? It’s a love story, yes – but also a body horror fever dream, a meditation on identity, and a film that asks the question, “What if a woman fell in love with a car?” (And no, I’m not joking.) Julia Ducournau’s mind-bending masterpiece follows Alexia, a woman with a metal plate in her skull, a penchant for violence, and, uh, a very unusual connection to automobiles. Amid all the shocking twists, there’s an oddly touching romance that emerges between her and a grieving firefighter who mistakes her for his long-lost son. It’s bizarre, it’s brutal, it’s beautiful – and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Buckle up. | © Neon

Cropped Bones and All

Bones and All (2022)

Who knew that a tale of young love could be so... appetizing? Bones and All serves up a unique blend of romance and horror, following Maren (Taylor Russell) and Lee (Timothée Chalamet), two star-crossed lovers with a peculiar craving for human flesh. As they embark on a cross-country road trip through 1980s America, their relationship deepens amidst a backdrop of self-discovery and, well, cannibalism. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, this film proves that the couple that dines together, stays together – just maybe keep your distance during mealtime. | © Frenesy Film Company

Cropped Lisa Frankenstein

Lisa Frankenstein (2024)

Ever wished your high school crush could come back to life? Be careful what you wish for. In Lisa Frankenstein, misunderstood teen Lisa (Kathryn Newton) accidentally reanimates a handsome Victorian corpse (Cole Sprouse) during a lightning storm. Set in the neon-soaked 1980s, this horror-comedy, directed by Zelda Williams and penned by Diablo Cody, offers a fresh twist on the classic Frankenstein tale. As Lisa attempts to navigate the challenges of teenage love and undead suitors, hilarity and horror ensue. It's a love story that's truly electrifying – just don't forget the jumper cables. | © MXN Entertainment

Cropped Your Monster

Your Monster (2024)

Breakups are tough, but when your ex leaves you with an actual monster in your closet, things get a tad more complicated. Your Monster follows Laura (Melissa Barrera), a soft-spoken actor who, after being dumped by her longtime boyfriend, discovers a creature lurking in her home. As she confronts both the literal and metaphorical monsters in her life, Laura embarks on a journey of self-empowerment and unexpected romance. This genre-blending film offers a wickedly delightful mix of horror, comedy, and musical elements, proving that sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones we create ourselves. | © Bombo Sports & Entertainment

Cropped Nosferatu

Nosferatu (2025)

Vampires are back, and they're more hauntingly beautiful than ever. Robert Eggers' Nosferatu reimagines the 1922 classic, weaving a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her. With a star-studded cast including Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, and Lily-Rose Depp, this film delves deep into the shadows of desire and dread. It's a love story that bites – literally – reminding us that some passions are eternal, even if they come with a side of bloodlust. | © Focus Features

Cropped COMPANION

Companion (2025)

In a world where technology and emotion intertwine, Companion explores the boundaries of love and artificial intelligence. Set in the near future, the film follows a human protagonist who forms an unexpected romantic connection with their AI companion. As their relationship deepens, questions arise about the nature of consciousness, love, and what it means to be truly alive. This thought-provoking narrative challenges our perceptions of intimacy in the digital age, proving that sometimes the heart wants what it wants – even if it's programmed. | © New Line Cinema
