13 Horror Movie Quotes About Love For Instagram Pictures With Your Boo
Let's talk horror, and then lots of love. Truth is, you wouldn't expect these two things to go hand-in-hand. But, some of the most classic films of all time combine the two subjects to tell a story. They create monsters and then reveal that their real motive was landing a kiss, or that very first date. (Can't you just shoot a cute text like everybody else, Frankenstein? Ugh!) This time of the year, those movies are getting watched on the reg. You and your boo are planning to watch your favorite ones well-past midnight, and gathering up some horror movie quotes about love for Instagram, too. (Let's be honest: Not posting a picture on Halloween night would give every single one of your followers quite the fright.)
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of horror movies. I've spent most of my life thus far dodging them. You won't catch me talking about goblins or witches in my spare time, even during the spookiest season of the year. Nor will you find me sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories with a flashlight. It's just not my style. (Sorry, but also not sorry.)
Truth be told, my version of the horror genre is just a few episodes of Stranger Things, and reruns of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. (Excuse me! Can we bring that hilarious black cat back on the pop culture scene, please?) I've been known to be totally freaked out by E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but can totally get behind the adventures of Millie Bobby Brown in the Upside Down. (It's all quite backwards, I know.)
Don't get me wrong: I'm still that girl who's obsessed with fall, and can appreciate a good film when one comes around. I love going to pumpkin patches and eating the best apple cider donuts from the orchard down the street. And then at the end of the day, I'm snuggling up and watching something animated, or a romantic comedy. That's the dose of love that gets me every time.
In additon, I understand the struggle and beauty behind films like Frankenstein, that tell a story beyond all the blood and gore. Sometimes it's a love story just in disguise, right? It's like the movie is wearing a mask, or a costume — and totally winning the contest, too, as more and more layers of each character are revealed.
