Edith finds herself piecing together the family’s history as she becomes the next target, leading to some icky revelations about her new husband. She didn’t realize that the place is filled with the ghosts of Thomas and his sister’s past victims or that the siblings’ relationship isn’t normal or healthy. When Edith married Thomas, she knew that meant relocating to a dilapidated mansion far from home.

Nothing like a slimy, slug-like entity to dissolve a marriage. While there’s a charmingly pure sentiment buried underneath the grotesque thing that Grant has become, it’s played for maximum gross-out laughs. So much so that he, now an amorphous creature, builds a nest and attempts to seduce his wife. As Grant helped spread the parasite across town, creating an army of mutated residents, he clung to his love of Starla. Grant and Starla’s relatively happy marriage ended when an extraterrestrial parasite found its way into Grant’s body, taking over. The polar opposite of relationship goals, these eight movies offer some of the most twisted and diseased explorations of “love” you’ll ever find within the horror genre. The lovesick characters featured here push well past healthy boundaries into squeamish and taboo-breaking territory. Sick of love? Consider this the Anti-Valentine’s Day round-up of horror movies guaranteed to put you off romance for a while.
