Keeping track of the year by celebrating holidays and the passing of time with curated movies, music, and seasonal food is taking deep root in the Schmidt house. We may have never celebrated Valentines in the traditional ways – and are more inclined to hide inside then venture out to a restaurant withe the rest of the world – but we are building a tradition that makes the holiday a two to three day event.
Valentines
- My Bloody Valentine (1981): nothing says valentines quite like a coal mine.
- Be My Valentine Charlie Brown (1975): I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Charlie Brown brings every holiday.
- There’s No Time for love Charlie Brown (1973): if you didn’t get enough Charlie Brown – this special isn’t specifically about the Valentines holiday, but it is set three months till the end of the school year – around the same time.
- Hospital Massacre aka X-Ray (1982): old Valentine’s sins will ruin your holiday
- Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975): Australia, mystery, disappearance, possible historically inaccurate corset lacing. Yes, this is Valentines.
- Lover’s Lane (2000): a man with a hook terrorizing teenagers at the local make-out point, just like that urban legend.
- Valentine (2001): a killer in a cupid mask is stalking and killing a group of girls that have been friends since school.
- Heart Eyes (2025): if you were missing romcom in your slashers then this movie is for you!
