6 Ideas for a Romantic Gothic Evening on Valentine’s Day

By Utku SenyuvaFeb 15, 2018

Just because your heart is black doesn’t mean that it isn’t full of love. We’ve come up with 6 dark ideas for a necromantic evening.

1. Dine in the darkness

Dine on dragon’s wings or feast by candlelight in your own lair. Visit your favourite Gothic or Vampire-themed restaurant, or create your own at home — think blood-red tablecloths, black rose centrepieces, and a menu Morticia would approve of.

2. Cuddle Up and Watch a Dark Classic

Pull the curtains, light the candles, and curl up with Bram Stoker’s Dracula or Only Lovers Left Alive for some elegant bloodlust.

Want something lighter? Young Frankenstein or What We Do in the Shadows brings the humour.

3. Song and Poizin on your lips

Serenade your love with The Cure’s Lovesong, sip a glass of Poizin wine (yes, it exists), and don’t forget the dark chocolate truffles — bonus points if they’re skull-shaped.

4. Float over the water

For outdoorsy romantics, a private sunset Gondola Ride sets the mood. Cloaked cabins keep your pale glow protected — or rent a rowboat and float under the stars.

5-Dance under a full moon

Throw on your finest ballgown or tux with tails and head to the nearest moonlit graveyard, forest clearing, or garden. Bring a speaker, your playlist, and dance like no one (alive) is watching.

6- Speak to the dead with your Ouija board

Light the candles, grab your Ouija board, and connect with the spirits. Whether you're summoning lost souls or just giggling over mysterious movements, it's a memorable way to end a necromantic evening.

Bonus Idea: Exchange Vows in a Cemetery (Yes, Really)

If your love is eternal, why not seal it among the tombstones? Whether it’s a symbolic vow under the moonlight or a fully planned gothic-themed ceremony, a graveyard makes the perfect setting for "’til death do us part."
