February is typically associated with romance, but the best streaming services have also added plenty of great horror movies to their libraries this month.
In keeping with the love theme, I have picked out some horror-romances, classics, and the latest arrivals on Shudder, the home of horror streaming.
Whatever you're in the mood for, here are seven of the best horror movies to watch in February.
Heart Eyes
HEART EYES - Official Trailer (HD) - YouTube
Where: Paramount+ (worldwide)
When: Streaming now
Heart Eyes has been on Paramount+ for a little while, but it felt wrong not to include it in my February round-up, given the fact that it's set on Valentine's Day.
Josh Ruben's latest movie follows the Heart Eyes Killer, who targets couples across the US on the most romantic day of the year. I fully understand that some people hate romance, but this is a bit extreme. Anyway, this slasher romantic comedy is wildly entertaining and blends genres together well. Get ready to laugh, jump, and cringe your way through this movie.
Insidious: Chapter 3
Insidious: Chapter 3 | Official Trailer - YouTube
Where: HBO Max (US); rent or buy (UK); Netflix (AU)
When: February 1
