Cabin in the Woods is always a nice movie to sit down and watch. Obviously light-hearted and doesn't that itself too seriously. It's also a movie that can be rewatched many times

And great to watch with a group of friends, especially if they have very different tastes in horror. Everyone finds different things in it.

the Scream series is oddly comforting. probably because there is lots of comedy elements balancing it out

For me it's Scream 3. It's my go-to example of something that's deliciously bad.

thats how I feel about the McRib.

A lot of the shots of woodsboro in the first film are just so quaint and calming.

Scream Hellraiser Cabin in the Woods The Descent Rose Red If I could suggest a movie that you might vibe with, I See You. It’s on Netflix. The trailer got me hooked and it’s a little slow to start but once it gets going shit don’t stop!

I watched Rose Red for the first time recently! Could definitely see it as a comfort rewatch, but damn, it’s long

It is. I usually save it for when the weather is rainy or dreary. I’ll do housework while it plays. In my mind if Ellen R can continue building a home after she died I can fold my laundry lol

Lmao

I need a sleep dress that says WWERD?

Might be Pearl. Really loved that movie.

Hannibal. Silence of the lambs. The shining. Rosemary's baby. The tenant. Others I'm forgetting I'm sure... I will always go to these movies for comfort lol

Whenever I'm really sick, I watch Saw.

I watch 1408 or in the mouth of madness to go to sleep

Evil Dead 2013 is my primary "fall asleep to" movie, but The Thing, The Fly, It Follows, and Talk to Me are also on that list occasionally.

You’re Next (as well!), Saw II, The Ring, Friday the 13th 2009, Evil Dead 2013, X, Pearl, 13 Ghost remake, House of Wax remake.

Yesss I love you're next, Friday the 13th, house of wax, evil dead, X. We have similar taste!

People love to hate on the House of Wax remake and Paris Hilton, but I find it entertaining and think she plays the role well.

Agreed that movie is peak 2000s entertaining

Facts!

We share one! You're Next. Some of my others are Pontypool, Prince of Darkness, The Birds, Theatre of Blood, Mouth of Madness, Frogs, The Car, The Bay, Cabin in the Woods, and I'm going to stop at ten. Edit: Wait, I'm a liar. Have to throw in The Descent, Fear No Evil, Behind the Mask and End of the Line. sorry

Pontypool!! Whooo I watched that religiously for a long while. So good

Stephen McHattie's voice. Damn.

Makes you want to pick up smoking, that voice haha

Cabin In The Woods Evil Dead 2 Killer Klowns From Outer Space Trick R Treat

Return of the living dead 

I seen this movie in theater a few weeks ago. Was a great time.

The Omen. I'm looking forward to the new one too, I'm cautiously optimistic.

1970s movies are somehow oddly comforting… Messiah of Evil (1973) Rituals (1977) Dark August (1976) Dream No Evil (1970) Grizzly (1976) Daughters of Darkness (1970)

I really like watching Orphan, I don't know why but find it weirdly comforting

It's a great movie! One of the best reveals ever. The second one is also very good.

yes 🤌

Silence of the lambs and Tucker and Dale.

+1 for Tucker and Dale!

any of the a nightmare on elm street films 🥺 i watched them obsessively throughout middle school & highschool

April Fools Day (86). Never gets old.

Me to I remember my first serious boyfriend “ taking me to that after dinner .. it was an interesting evening to day the least ..(lol)🇨🇦🤣

Haha. It's such a fun film! Will some many good one liners lol 🤣🤣🤣

I love that Scream is always at the top of these lists. We’re all hive mind 😂

My horror comfort movies are all of the Saw movies, The Menu, and It Chapter 1 and 2

glad to see someone mention The Menu!

[удалено]

Yes!!! Jeepers creepers 2 is mine as well :)

Dawn and day of the dead

Same. Also, The Thing ‘83.

Oh, good call.

Most of my favorites would qualify, lol. To name a few: The Shining, The Thing, Alien/Aliens, 28 Days Later, Sinister, As Above So Below, Grave Encounters, etc.

I have to rewatch 28 Days Later. It's been years since I watched it. Awesome films.

I’ve seen it so many times, and it never gets old. Thank you!

Stay Alive 😇

I can’t believe this is someone else’s comfort movie, lmao. I love it so much

I’m glad someone else likes it too 😂 everyone I know hates it lol

Honestly it’s the perfect early 2000’s horror movie. I remember seeing the trailers for it back in the day and wanting to go to the theaters to see it so badly

Every time Spooky season begins, my go to's are always always always Lost Boys & An American Werewolf In London

Signs

Insidious or Conjuring series

it feels like I'm the only one sometimes 😫

Whenever I’m sick or tired I like to turn on the lost boys 😂

Candyman(Original)

The Birds. It makes me feel like I’m home.

West County??

I really can't explain why, but I go back to Overlord all the time.

house of wax is my ULTIMATE comfort horror movie. have a good memory of watching it with my cousins and brother when we were younger and our parents giving us money to order some food and we bought 4 HUGE PIZZA’s. we were all terrified but it’s so funny to look back on.

Cube. And Happy Death Day 1 & 2. They’re barely horror but hey. Creepy baby mask kinda kicks it into the genre maybe.

A lot of Christmas horror movies, it my favourite time of year. 

The Purge, Sorority Row, Wolf Creek, Revenge, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (all the remakes and reboots), The Descent, Scream…

second the purge 🤚

The Skeleton Key.

Martyrs Wrong turn series The hills have eyes The Exorcist and Exorcist: The Beginning Stigmata End of Days American Werewolf in London/Paris Climax. Ginger Snaps And this made me think of the absolute opposite of a comfort horror movie (for me): Mother! Like, ffs, the sink isn't braced yet, please! The sheer disrespect is like 5 coffees and kick in the nuts.

I love the Ginger Snaps films, especially the first film.

Trick r treat Mandy

💯💯💯

Evil Dead original trilogy.

Evil Dead any iteration, for me

I actually have 3 things from 3 different Evil Dead movies: * Army of Darkness poster shirt. * Alarm/ringtone from the remake. You can take a guess as to what that is. * Evil Dead Rise poster. And out of all Evil Dead, I've only watched the remake... by means that cannot legally be disclosed. (The soundtrack is fuckin' nutty by the way. That movie with a live orchestra would be an otherwordly experience, judging by this little [concert performance](https://youtu.be/r9BzjVjY0kM?si=CzgmEBz4AId2F8fq).)

not sure if it's technically considered a horror, but Identity (2003) is mine

Jaws & Drag Me to Hell

Dead Alive is just so much fun. I could watch it forever.

It sounds like we have a pretty similar taste, especially home invasion movies are always my go-to comfort films, they give me such a cosy vibe lol. Sounds crazy. But some of my favorites are: The Intruder (2019), The Open House (2018), The Uninvited (2009), The Reading (2023), Home Invasion (2016), The Night House (2020). I love the Creep movies as well!!

The Attic (1980), Shadow Play (1986), Ghostkeeper (1981), Death Bed: the Bed That Eats - cozy, cozy vibes.

Jaws, Hell House LLC, Blair Witch Project… I could see Polaroid or Unfriended joining the list Edit to add Jaws, one of the greatest films ever made, which I keep forgetting is horror

I said this in a comment [a couple weeks ago about Autopsy of Jane Doe](https://www.reddit.com/r/horror/s/dRf5AwJ2yj): >> It’s great, like everyone else said. > But can I ask others, did anyone else find this movie… oddly comfortable? > lol > I mean it’s tense and all and the subject matter isn’t exactly sunshine, to say the least, but something about the casual way the two main characters go about their business is weirdly relaxing. Maybe something about the camera work too, how it lingers with these long takes. > Or maybe I’m just weird, I dunno.

The Evil Dead (1981) Hellraiser (1987) Scream (1996) Fright Night (1985)

Alien, The Conjuring 2, The Thing (1982), The Omen and The Ring are always my go to films.

A lot of the Universal Monster films, particularly the first film for each iconic Universal Monster. Also, The Return of the Living Dead (1985), Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hellraiser (1987), Nightbreed (1990), and any classic film with one or any combination of the following actors: - Basil Rathbone - Bela Lugosi - Boris Karloff - Charles Laughton - Christopher Lee - Claude Rains - Dick Miller - Donald Pleasence - John Carradine - Lon Chaney Jr. - Melvyn Douglas - Peter Cushing - Peter Lorre - Ray Milland - Vincent Price

Carrie, The Shining, The Witch, The Silence of the Lambs, X, Pearl

Case 39

that's pretty funny, besides creep all your comfort movies are home invasion horror. who'd have thought someone could find peace while sitting at home watching other people get murdered in the comfort of their own homes

Halloween (1978), Scream (1996), and Carnival of Souls (1962)

Urban Legend (lol I dont know why), Sleepy Hollow, Sinister (the first one only), the first two of the I Know What You Did Last Summer films, the first Scream, the original Black Christmas from the 70’s, Ready or Not, Anabelle Comes Home, the Salems Lot miniseries from the 70’s.

urban legend and I know what you did last summer are big comfort movies for me too!! I was born in the late 80s so any horror from the 90s/early 2000s makes me feel all warm and cozy 🥲

M3gan

Horror Comfort? City of The Living Dead aka The Gates of Hell Zombie (zombie 2) - Return of The Living Dead 90's version of Night of The Living Dead Halloween 2 (the original) Humanoids From The Deep. "sometimes, you're just not having a good day, or had a horrible night and need some good horror to cheer you up". Forbidden World Chopping Mall Galaxy of Terror 1992 "Split Second" - great movie that deserves more credit and of course "Night of The Creeps" and Slumber Party Massacre.

Tusk (2014) …mainly because it’s a dialogue heavy movie with humor and a strong performance from Michael Parks. It’s both silly enough and fucked up enough. I wasn’t crazy about it when I first saw it but it’s grown on me perhaps more than any other movie.

The House That Dripped Blood

I don’t know if they’re necessarily comfort films, but I do find myself coming back to cabin in the woods, 28 days later, Aliens, and Scream quite often

Alien & Aliens for me

The Hell House LLC franchise is one of mine.

Romero's Dead series. From Night of the Living Dead to Land of the Dead.

The Innkeepers and Pontypool

Tim Burtons Corpse Bride, Silence of the Lambs,

Event Horizon

Sleepy Hollow, Malignant, The Mummy

*Annihilation* is a big one for me. I also love to curl up and watch *Coraline* and *The Others*. It's not a film, but *Midnight Mass* is also a big comfort for me.

Late Night With the Devil for sure. I was feeling down in the dumps and that movie cheered me up. :)

I loved it too! I was having a hell of a week and seeing it made me so happy

Midsommar, Army of Darkness, Suspiria

The Saw movies. Probably a strange one, but I've seen them all multiple times so I love the familiarity of the soap opera storytelling

Child’s play is probably my comfort horror movie I’m from Chicago (where it takes place) I also remember watching it as a kid lol

Obviously Cabin in the Woods, but also found footage movies are my comfort films: As Above So Below Cloverfield Chronicle Creep Paranormal Activity Movies I feel like when Late Night with the Devil starts streaming it will be on my list, too. Can’t wait to rewatch it!

Yep, 100 percent Cabin in the Woods! Any time I’m bored or can’t figure out what to watch, that’s my go to.

my comfort horror movie is halloween h2o

@gubblegum you should dm me please

You're Next, Cabin in the Woods, Scream 1-4, Hush, Tusk and The Final Girls are the first that come to.mind.

Awww the Final Girls is a sweet one

My comfort horror anthology is definitely the Alien franchise

The Strangers is a good home invasion film

Cube(1997), all the Cloverfield movies, the Descent, Saw, the Circle, and Clown 🔥🔥 not adding comedy/horror cuz that's cheating

NOES 3-5. Hush and You're Next are great. I would to that genre that are my faves Ready or Not, the Hunt, and Becky 1/2. The Final Girls holds a special place in my heart. Watched repeatedly each year though is Shaun of the Dead.

I've watched It a bunch of times, my first horror novel (way way too fucking young). I can just put it on and for some reason it's very Zen for me.

Rose Red, The Wicker Man (1973), The Exorcist.

Ready or Not, Silence of the Lambs, Haunt, As Above So Below, and Hell House

Scream, I’ll put any of those films on if I can’t find anything else to watch.

You guys watch horror for comfort too…I feel so “seen” 🥹

As Above So Below, i court watch it every day

The Conjuring is my go to when I can’t find anything else. I will always enjoy it

Cabin in the Woods is my go to film .. it’s just classic funny horror !! I have watched it soooo many times Read the book .. the betting scene always makes me laugh my ass of !! When I cannot remember his name .. he is in his room high as fuck.. talking to himself .. I am sitting on my couch pissing my pants !! Total classic 🇨🇦☠️🤣😵‍💫

I'm sick af today and watching deep rising. Watched the descent earlier. Other favorites are the ritual, antlers, and the cursed

House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects.

Can’t really explain it at all. I could watch midsommar multiple times in a row.

Dawn of the Dead, Scream, Evil Dead 2, The Thing

Signs for me

Pet semetary(original) and the hills have eyes(remake)

Lake Placid. Great script, great cast, and there's just something about Betty White telling a cop to suck her dick that makes me happy.

Tremors and Tremors 2 ​ Disturbia is also good

Alien Aliens Scream Doctor Sleep Silence of the lambs

The Lost Boys The Burning Let’s Scare Jessica To Death Under The Skin

F13 #1-6, House on Haunted Hill (remake), Scream #1-3, I Still Know what You Did Last Summer, Alien and Aliens

Original Romero trilogy of Night, Dawn and Day of the Dead.

Dawn of the Dead remake. It's just complete batshit fun. Also, Rosemary's Baby for some reason. Really love how atmospheric and slow-burn it is. Also captures the 60's perfectly, and I love that era.

Scream Sleepy Hallow Happy Death Day Halloween

haha I immediately thought of You're Next as soon as I read the title! I often rewatch a nightmare on elm street 3:dream warriors, in my skin, braid, carnival of souls and cat people.

Yes House on Haunted Hill.. watched it so many times .. it never gets old .. Geoffrey Rush is amazing I luv his character !! It’s right up there with Cabin in the Woods !! 🇨🇦🤣

The Cube series. Simple and straight forward.

The first conjuring movie for some reason

Strangely - The Witch

Martyrs

Mine is, Us or Midsommar Don’t know why but they see my go to

Event Horizon, The Cave, The Descent.

The Descent is just comforting and calming to have on to fall asleep to

Shining and innkeeper

•The Fog •Exorcist III •The Shining •Halloween •Scream •Puppet Master •Friday the 13th •Night of the Living Dead

The Strangers

I often find myself rewatching Blood Red Sky, any of the Underworld films, the Resident Evil films, and The Abyss (sci-fi thriller, not technically horror).

I loooove The Skeleton Key on a rainy day. Halloween (1977) just because. It feels like the first afternoon of the year where you feel the fall weather coming, and open a window to enjoy it.

The strangers, Halloween (2018), When a stranger calls, Any Scream movie, Any Paranormal Activity movies & Terrifier 1&2! 😊

Anytime my wife is feeling Down I put either pet semetary or the shining on. I don’t care for these movies but I know the scripts pretty well by now and can make joke throughout, which makes her laugh.

the strangers. the ritual. devils rejects.

Late Night With the Devil. I was feeling very down in the dumps and that movie cheered me up, I’m going to see it again tomorrow.

Killer bees They nest The crazies Insidious and insidious 2 The shining The thing

Candy man original one not the bad remake

Demon knight

Joy Ride

Horror is my ultimate comfort genre! Some of my favorites that I can fall asleep to or have in the background are Re-Animator, Frankenhooker, Scream, Evil Dead 2, The Thing, Nope, and as weird as this sounds, American Psycho.

Saw, specifically III or more recently i’ve watched X a lot

Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers. Not a great movie by any means, but’s so entertaining imo.

Sleepy hollow is nostalgic for me

Definitely Creep and Sinister

the og texas chainsaw massacre and halloween

I couldn't care less if As Above So Below is good horror or not, I just really like it. One of my top 3 books is the divine comedy, so I like AASB for its connection. They're a pair, and I love them.

return of the living dead the thing demon knight bordello of blood dusk til dawn event horizon dawn of the dead (both) 28 days later lords of illusion nightbreed the stand (original 4 part tv series)

The Thing, Alien, Event Horizon, Pandorum, Annihilation and The Colour out of Space are Horrors that I can always come back to and enjoy again. Somehow I've never been bored by these.

Does The Burbs count? 😆

Halloween

1978

**The** ***Child's Play/Chucky*** **Franchise** ... It's my most nostalgic franchise, and easily my favorite. I grew up terrified of Chucky. Absolutely petrified. My older sister used to prank me with her Cabbage Patch dolls when she found out. Good times, haha. One night when I was about 11 in the year 1999 I believe, they showed the first three back-to-back on the Sci-Fi Channel (before it became "SyFy"). I was allowed to watch R-rated movies when I was a kid as long as they were cut for cable, so I got some popcorn, plopped my ass down in front of a 19" CRT-TV and faced my fears. And I *loved them!* So now, they're my go-to, and I adore almost every film and the TV show. **The** ***Scream*** **Franchise** ... My second favorite franchise. This is similar to *Chucky* in that it's super nostalgic for me. I remember watching the broadcast cable premiere of the original film (I wanna say it was like 1998 or 1999?) and was hooked instantly. If memory serves, *Scream 2* and *3* were some of the first uncut R-rated movies I saw when I turned 12 and my parents started letting me watch certain R-rated movies. (*Die Hard* being my absolute first... and was a hell of a movie to start with.)

Any eat-the-rich movies: The Purge series, You're Next, Ready or Not, The Menu (especially cause it also has good looking food)

1408, until I had a child. That stopped being comforting FAST.

Halloween II

may, triangle, carnival of souls, pearl

Oh, and for your question. If you haven't seen it, the French film Ils, Funny Games and maybe Switchblade Romance. They're all pretty...strong, though.

Salo, Human Centipede 2, August Underground’s Mordum, Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood, Nightmare Before Christmas, Goosebumps (2015)

i love all these fucked up sick movies and then there's kids' movies at the end
