10 Totally Creepy and Odd Vintage Valentines

If you love someone, do not, I repeat, do not present them with a Valentine's Day card like one of these. Unless they happen to be really into guns, being tied up, and/or cannibalism…then these very odd, totally creepy Valentine's Day cards will be RIGHT up their alley.

But in defense of these cards, it must be noted that they are all vintage examples. They all come from a time where images of kids with guns, or joking about suicide, or hitting a woman over the head with a bat didn't raise as many politically correct eyebrows as they would now. Some of them are odd by accident, others are just totally bizarre, no matter what era they are from.
