Some cynics out there might call this the perfect weekend: a Friday the 13th<\/a> followed by Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>. Here at MovieFanFare, we\u2019ll wear our heart on our sleeve (yuck!) for this calendrical conjunction of misfortune and amour while we ask the following two-part question: What do you think are the most romantic horror flick and the most unlucky love film?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Erik, the Phantom of the Opera<\/a>, bringing Christine to his underground lair, King Kong<\/a> taking Ann Darrow on a tour of downtown Manhattan, the Frankenstein Monster longing for a bride<\/a>, and Quasimodo<\/a> saving Esmeralda from the hangman’s noose certainly each qualify in the former category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for the latter, how about such such tragic classic couples as Heathcliff and Cathy from Wuthering Heights<\/em><\/a>, Tony and Maria from West Side Story<\/em><\/a>, Love Story’s<\/em><\/a> Jenny and Oliver, and, of course, Ennis and Jack from Brokeback Mountain<\/em><\/a>?<\/p>\n

Here’s your chance to celebrate two occasions in once. Share your thoughts on mad love and bad luck at the movies with us, and whether you\u2019re stepping over cracks or buying roses, have fun this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
