10 Most Romantic Horror Movies Ever

10. Return Of The Living Dead 3 (1993)

The €˜zom-rom-com€™ has become quite the subgenre in recent years, following the success of Shaun of the Dead (almost ironic, considering how ineffectual and curiously chaste the central relationship between Simon Pegg€™s Shaun and Kate Ashcroft€™s Liz turns out €“ but we all know the real love story is between Shaun and Nick Frost€™s Ed). Love stories torn asunder by death, but then brought back together via living death, have been seen in Life After Beth, Burying the Ex, Clinger and (in a slightly different manner) Warm Bodies €“ and a couple more similar tales will come up in this list. However, the pinnacle of zombie romance was reached all the way back in 1993 in Brian Yuzna€™s Return of the Living Dead 3. Ignoring the earlier films in the series almost completely, it follows Gen-X lovers Julie and Curt (Melinda Clarke and J Trevor Edmond) who plan to run away to escape her domineering army general father €“ but a misguided jaunt into Daddy€™s top secret military science lab results in Julie getting an accidental dose of 2-4-5 Trioxin, the gas responsible for the zombie outbreaks in the first two movies. It€™s your standard Romeo and Juliet tale, only with Juliet turning into a zombie, and ultimately giving herself a terrifying yet highly alluring makeover with broken glass, nails and other sharp bits and bobs.
