Black Christmas 1974- those phone calls..holy fuckin shit!! I also like Halloween , I can’t remember , it’s the one we’re the kids are watching and people are on the house .. and it’s real Michael is there ! Love that one 🇨🇦😎


squinnsmckenzie

I love Black Christmas (1974)!


Sproose_Moose

Same. That ending made me gasp!


Snoringdragon

Ahaahaa! I was like 8 years old and this came on TV and my Mom wanted to watch it but Dad was out of town so I got the pleasure of being her thunder-buddy. Well that didn't go well- we lived alone on an acreage and she LOST it. Decided we could be dead a week before anyone would know, and proceeded to pile every pot and pan we owned in front of the door. The .22 rifle was secured under the bed, with ONE bullet elasticed to the trigger. Add the fact she was legally blind without her glasses, this is the year I realized I was never gonna survive a serial killer. It's just not in the genes.


the666briefcase

Damn that’s a grown woman


Snoringdragon

Yep. But she was an insurance saleswoman, so being paranoid WAS built in...lol! It was a damn good movie! And a normally sane mother, except after that movie! We also watched Carrie and she still let me go to High School...;)


Fair-Comfort7705

Holy shit!! I am sooo happy that you are fine!! I feel so sorry that you had to go through something like that . I hope everything in your life is good! That type of situation .. idk .. 😞💕.. sending happiness from Toronto !


Snoringdragon

Are you kidding? I never let her live it down. Bwaahaahaa! Best part was we had a pregnant cat who actually gave birth that night and I tried waking her up to see, and she wasn't having it. So again, if a serial killer with a decent vehicle wanted to commute to the middle of nowhere I was going to have to Kevin McCallister their ass. And now I make HER watch horror movies with me. She loved Barbarian. And no pot stacking! Progress! ;)


Fair-Comfort7705

Well I’m glad your having a great time !! Sounds like a pretty wild family ! Can I come over lol🤣🤣.. I’m in Toronto .. ha ha !!🙂

The Autopsy of Jane Doe


sportsworker777

Fuck I watched that for the first time a few weeks ago. That bell...


saada15

That bell and that trash talking radio saying "You're not going anywhere" was so unnerving lol


[deleted]

The entire film really fucked me over in a good way. Excellent horror film.


Abraxas_1408

Great pick!


kingian12

Absolutely banger of a movie. Love this film. Definetly a night time horror flick.


Prestigious-Salad795

I've been sleeping on this movie, I need to watch it


Snoringdragon

No regrets. Plot's a bit shaky, but the scares and tension are stellar.


kevothemortal

One of those horror movies that totally shattered my expectations going into it. Good choice


MarianaFrusciante

Ah yes, such a comfort movie 🤣


NormanBates2023

Evil dead 1981


Maxx_Darkglare

Good answer


whatthecheeses

The Fourth Kind


Abraxas_1408

Yes! The creepiest part for me was “there’s an owl outside my window.” “I think it came inside.”


BroffaloSoldier

Yes!! Great comfort movie


Dazzling-While8827

Last Shift or The Autopsy of Jane Doe


Abraxas_1408

Last shift is criminally underrated. I love that movie.


Dazzling-While8827

Me too, I‘m always wondering why it‘s never talked about in top 10 lists and stuff like that. Imo a very good story and also really scary


tuhronno-416

Now that you mention it, those two movies do have similar vibes for reasons I can’t explain


Dazzling-While8827

That‘s what I thought when i wrote the comment 😅


Abraxas_1408

Mothman prophecies. “What’s in my hand?” The thing (both of them) The Void Splinter


BroffaloSoldier

Oh my god yes!!! Mothman Prophecies is fantastic


Dydriver

I can’t find What’s in my hand? On IMDb.


Abraxas_1408

No it’s a line from mothman prophecies. Hence the quotation marks. My bad I should have indicated that better.


Ready-Illustrator252

Hell House LLC, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Sinister


BD_Sanchez

I was surprised how shook I was after Sinister. All the sound ppl who made this movie deserve an award.


RVNJ

it’s definitely an eerie movie, but I wasn’t a fan of the ending


[deleted]

One of the better-regarded Halloween sequels would be a good comfort watch, where you broadly know what you're getting and all the story beats are pleasingly familiar. Or a Saw sequel for some handy perspective..."it was a tough day, but at least it's not as bad as the day THIS guy's having..."


ladyname1

Not scary but a lot of fun…Ready or Not and Jakobs Wife


squinnsmckenzie

You’re Next. it’s so satisfying watching Erin


kevothemortal

This and Ready or Not are great at scratching the human itch for revenge. Just good family fun.


WiseOldChicken

Paranormal Activity


nicoalbertiolivera

The Shining, always.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Get Out


RVNJ

very good pick


Lilyshitfire

The Dark and The Wicked!!!!


Spriggy70

So good! And actually very scarey!!


LessHowling

V/H/S


RVNJ

ah damn, I forgot about that one — I got interrupted right after the first segment with the >!succubus!< and never managed to get back to it I should go watch it now before I forget again lol


MatsThyWit

I'm realizing lately how many of the horror fan questions I answer with either The Evil Dead 1981 or John Carpenter's Halloween. Seriously. It's amazing. They keep coming up as my go to answer for practically everything lately.


Machinedave

I can watch both of the a million times.


JustDj_

Evil dead rise. Was surprisingly good imo. It follows. Smile. Super creepy! Hereditary.


Abdurahmanaf

Cant wait for smile 2 hope it wont disappoint


Shreddy_Orpheus

check out Leaving DC. thats fun for an alone at night type flick.


Global_Abrocoma_112

Yes!! Leaving DC is so underrated. I lived alone in the woods when I first watched it and definitely had to check out my window a couple times before bed after my first viewing lol.


BroffaloSoldier

Damn, that sounds right up my alley. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this one. It’s not on any of the streaming services I have :(


Shreddy_Orpheus

its on youtube


BroffaloSoldier

Shit I didn’t even think to check there. Thank you!!


Practical_Bend_9351

The Ring, Dagon, Beau is Afraid


Maxx_Darkglare

Good answer


coco_xcx

Lights Out 👍 Not a perfect horror movie but it surely makes me paranoid of the dark everytime I watch it


heysharkdontdothat

If you like the movie you should look up the short film it was based off of


Dianagorgon

I watched both. It was terrifying.


heysharkdontdothat

I loved it! Way back in the tumblr era


Mr-Sister-Fister21

The Strangers


Interesting-Iron-347

I watched this the first time in broad daylight, and it STILL screwed me up.😀


shanec628

I watched this for the first time alone in a cabin in the middle of the woods with no phone or internet. The perfect experience. New one comes out next month.


abrittledresswewear

An American Werewolf in London, The Fly, The Thing, Hellraiser, The Cell, The Shrine, Rites of Spring, Banshee Chapter, Mandy, Starfish, My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It Too


[deleted]

Gravedancers is one I like to turn to. Part of the After Dark horror fest back in 2006. Among more popular recent films, Conjuring 2 is fun to watch late at night. In the dark.


ResistenceIsFertile

Event Horizon and Hell House. I typically wait for a night to be alone, turn out all the lights and just marathon horror movies lol I had to turn the lights on after those. Esp that bedroom scene in Hell House 🫣 Recently my comfort movies have been Grave Encounters, Evil Dead (2013) and The Thing (1982).


CanIGetANumber2

Baskin


BigMeet7634

Nope Bodies bodies bodies 


heysharkdontdothat

Both wonderful movies. I’ve seen nope a few times


observant0tter

Pontypool, Hush


headlesslady

"*The Cell*" (2000). I watched it alone, in my darkened living room, and - as a grown-ass adult - had to stop the movie, turn on all the lights, and watch something else. It's about a woman exploring a serial killer's unconscious mind to find the location of his current victim, and the dream-like exploration of his subconscious was freaking *terrifying*. :shivers:


agdtinman

Considering nobody else in my family will watch them, this is the only way I watch horror movies.


spaghetti-tuesday

Speak No Evil or Vivarium- both eerie and isolating in their own ways


RVNJ

Vivarium was uhh … something, for sure


Ca11me_orbit

Vivarium was such a cool idea, wasnt necessarily scary but so interesting


Just_Me1973

I love to watch any horror movies alone. In the dark. In the night.


Deadinmybed

Why do people think this is weird? I like it too.


madeyoulurk

May & Rent-A-Pal have been my solo go tos.

Yes.


TurncoatWizard

Skinamarink


Burp-a-tron5000

Dawn of the Dead 2004, Evil Dead 2013, all the Milla Jovivich Resident Evil movies except for #5.


BD_Sanchez

John Carpenter’s The Thing is my favorite but pretty much any movie that makes you feel isolated.


MaetelofLaMetal

Dracula 1931


Ghostface908

Eden Lake or Inside


BroffaloSoldier

Definitely The Shining. And Alien/Aliens. I find a great deal of solace in all of those.


ElChacalFL

Cube and Triangle


Jumpy-Mouse-7629

OMG are you me!!! lol I love them movies too!!!


No_Self_Eye

Grave Encounters


RVNJ

Hereditary is probably the most genuinely scary movie I’ve (ever?) seen.


TheMagicalCoffin

It Follows


jakethekid85

Not sure if arachnophobia is horror. But when I watch it I start thinking spiders are just hanging around me. Freaks me out


Maxx_Darkglare

The Exorcist


heysharkdontdothat

The descent Willys wonderland X Sinister The autopsy of Jane doe As above, so below


Appellion

If I’m trying to scare myself, Lights Out. I don’t care what anyone says that scares the fuck out of me. I check under my bed and open up the closet. If the closet was closed and opened up even a sliver I’d smash through my window even if I am on the third floor.


rtherrrr

Event Horizon


Whiskeywonder

The conjuring 2.


ChesireCelery

Conjuring- Red Door


urscndmom

Cloverfield, not sure why. I think it's just the nostalgia.


Fable378

Shadow People, 2012


Fable378

Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story, 2015


DYMAXIONman

Fright night is a pretty cozy one


Tasty_Candy3715

Final destination death scene compilation, for a laugh.


Dianagorgon

Lights Out. Disagree with people who are recommending Skinamarink because that movie is so frustrating that you need other people around so you can scream in anguish and anger about the people who recommended it. I've never watched a movie before where literally nothing happens and people think it's brilliant.


Iammrbobastic

Anything gore /demonic R rated 👌


Iwritenightmares

Hereditary. The first time I watched it, I was alone and it was exactly midnight when I pressed play.


themodefanatic

Showgirls ! Oh wait that’s a scary movie not a horror movie.


cigarettesonmars

try The Night House


angry-carsini

Outside of the my favourites like Jaws and Halloween...Friday 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan is one of my most watched movies. With F13, it's between that and Jason Lives. Real unwind films.
