in Entertainment, Events, Food, Merchandise

In Part 1, we discussed the graphic history of Valentine’s Day.  Born in blood and sacrificial debauchery, this day of hearts harbors happier thoughts today. Visions of cupid and candy, roses and red teddy bears are cute, but are they really the heart of the homicidal holiday?

To serve justice and honor the darker side of this romantic respite, OTM brings you a very special “heart-felt” holiday guide, ensuring a Valentine’s Day to die for.  (Some items may not be suitable for young eyes or work environments)

A sentimental serenade starts off our story and can help set that killer Valentine’s Day celebration. 

 

Candy is dandy, liquor is quicker, but a big red brick really does the trick . . . if proclaiming undying love for your significant other must said with sweets, try these fitting finds:

Trinkets are also an accepted admiration announcement:

Teddy Bears are so cliche’ – honor the animal in you and remember that sacrificial offerings were once a part of the holiday, a zombie teddy (as seen on Amazon) seems like a much more memorable memento.

Equally overdone is jewelry.  Why not really put some heart into it with this pendant from Amazon.
