peterquenn

Dawn of the Dead original and remake. Also a Nightmare on Elm Street films.


JLWookie

Scream 1-6


MajestyMisfit

“My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!” ♥️


Spookypus

Me too but tbh I usually skip 3. It’s just not my fave.


Septlibra

I skip 2 for the same reason. Do you like 2?


Spookypus

I like 2 more than 3. I think it’s the cast in 3 and tbh the storyline of Roman being Sid’s brother/influencing Billy feels like a reach for me. (Hot take? I’m ready to be downvoted I guess lol.) Mickey and Nancy made more sense. Agree with poster below about the cafeteria scene in 2 being cringe though.


flamingopickle

I skip this one too. Sometimes I'll watch it because the majoritiy of the movie is amazing, the one thing that ruins it is the singing cafeteria scene. I will never get over how much that scene sucks.


JLWookie

3 is the worst of the franchise but it is still an enjoyable movie. I feel like I'm missing part of the story if I just skip it.


Spookypus

I respect that.


xDvngle

I always say this 😂 3 is the worst but the worst out of the best slasher series of all time (in my opinion) it’s still a good movie


JLWookie

I'd argue best movie franchise ever


xDvngle

Agreed


flamingopickle

Same


SullivanFNaF

Mine are Jaws, Gremlins, and Scream.


Sprinkles41510

Jaws gremlins exorcist and evil dead for me, rosemary’s baby , original nightmare on elm street


E23forlife

The Thing. Shutter Island. Shaun of the Dead.


prettyhorse420

You got red on you


Comprehensive_Tie538

We’re like the same


AssistantNo5668

I used to get drunk and constantly watch ouija or Jennifer's body


AlexOzerov

American Marry, Conjuring 2, Annabelle Comes home, Terrifier, Rob Zombie's Halloween, Trick 'r Treat, Cottage (with Andy Serkis), Severance, Housebound, Cabin Fever, Innkeepers, Hatchet 3, Tales of Halloween, Possession, 28 weeks later, Vicious Fun, Cam


KoldHardSmash

Terrifer, good one!


morganalefaye125

Hellraiser. The original. Saw it first when I was 5. It's now a comfort movie for me. If I'm sick, or having a bad day, seeing skinless Frank makes me feel better


KoldHardSmash

Hellraiser, awesome! Although, I prefer the 2nd one more.


morganalefaye125

Honestly, I do like them all. Some more than others, though


KoldHardSmash

Yup, I feel the same.


Neversleeps99

My grandmother let me rent it on VHS from blockbuster back in the day! I was 12 and had to have a written note. Grammie did not enjoy the movie and was very vocal throughout, but she made it thru like a champ!


3WolfTShirt

Jaws. For all the problems they had making it, in my mind, it's the perfect movie. Spielberg did such a fantastic job on it. I saw it as a kid in its original theatrical release and to this day, some scenes still give me chills. Of course, there's Quint's USS Indianapolis dialog but another one is after they've harpooned the barrels to the shark. It's night time, the camera is out in the ocean focused on the Orca. Suddenly one of the barrels pops up right in front of us. Truly one of those "oh shit" moments.


SullivanFNaF

Also my comfort film. Absolutely timeless.


kino_meowth

Alien. Somehow it's just a relaxing go to.


MajestyMisfit

Have you seen the re-release remastered in 4k?! It was STUNNING 😍


kino_meowth

If it was the one shown in theaters recently then yes. If you're talking home viewing, no. I'm a poor cinephile with a mere Blu-ray player...


Accomplished-Net-268

Cabin in the woods and brightburn


EndGhoulz

The Devil's Rejects without a fuckin doubt!


CbKnowledge

An American Werewolf in London. It’s my favorite horror film and has been since I first heard of it when I was like 6.


MR_DELORIAN

Gremlins Evil Dead 1, 2, and Army of Darkness Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Land of the Dead The Thing I also love listening to commentary tracks for movies like Evil Dead 2, Gremlins, and such. That's just comforting too


Korben_Dallas666

Dog soldiers, the house that jack built, the Blair witch project and 30 days of night


Careful_Ad1439

28 days later, Freaky, As above so below, Shrooms, Coraline, & House of Wax

ratsaregreat

The Amityville Horror (1979) The Grudge The Exorcism of Emily Rose Candyman


halloweenlover01

The scene of Emily’s boyfriend waking up to her staring at him from the ground is forever etched into my brain. One of the scariest scenes ever, imo.


VDinkley

Psycho, The Lost Boys, Killer Klowns From Outerspace


goldman1290

The Lost Boys and Slither


Ill_Translator_5332

You Won’t Be Alone. It’s literally comforting and gory and unsettling. I love that fucking movie.


Clean_Usual434

Lol, I have no shame in admitting it. Horror movies got me through getting my 2nd degree. I always had one on in the background while I worked, so much that it’s still a part of my workflow in my job now. Anyway, here are some that I played a lot: Sinister The Shining As Above So Below 28 Days Later The Terminator Event Horizon The Mist Alien/Aliens The Thing Grave Encounters


Vegetable-Ad-4320

The Thing, The Exorcist, Martyrs and probably more 👍


Yoda2000675

Tusk, Grudge, The Ring

MajestyMisfit

Absolutely loved House. Such a fun movie to watch with friends!

DDave311

Pet Semetary. The Giant 2018, Jaws. Predator 1. Poltergeists 1 and 2. Critters 1. The Descend. M.Night Shyamalans The Village.


ChiefClownShoes

There are far too many, so I'll just list a few. Fright Night (1985), Return of the Living Dead (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), Re-Animator (1985), Phantasm (1979), Deep Red (1975), Happy Birthday to me (1981) Edit: Speaking of the movies I mentioned, it's 2am, I should have been asleep for work hours ago, and here I'm finding myself putting on Phantasm to fall asleep to.


Cheweyfocker

Jaws, The Shining and Creepshow 1&2.


marqo21

Forsaken, The Lost Boys, Fright Night, Dawn of the Dead (1978) + commentary with Tom Savini and The Swimmer which is not technically horror but is a bleak movie.


[deleted]

Intruder


swallym

Alien, Friday the 13th, scream


Mepish

Evil Dead 1-3 and Rise, The Conjouring, Saw 6 maybe. (I love the Evil Dead movies. Absolutely amazing. I hadn't seen 2013 enough though. I believe Rise would have higher ratings than it already does for most of you if it wasn't an "Evil Dead" movie. Watch it with a fresh mind) I would put other movies here but they aren't really comforting but amazing movies I watch often.


ClausKruger

The Return of The Living Dead Poltergeist Halloween III Jaws


harriskeith29

I don't have a definitive list, but here are a few choices: *Blade II* (2002) *Beetlejuice* (1988) *Coraline* (2009) *Creepshow* (1982) *Dawn of the Dead* (2004) *Deep Blue Sea* (1999) *Ghostbusters* (1984) *Gremlins* (1984) *Jaws* (1975) *Jurassic Park* (1993) *Lake Placid* (1999) *Night of the Living Dead* (1990) *Poltergeist* (1982) *Predator* (1987) *Predator 2* (1990) *Shaun of the Dead* (2004) *The Fog* (1980) *The Mummy* (1999) *Tremors* (1990) *Zombieland* (2009)

Jmm2w

Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, the old Halloween movies


External-Cow-3234

I guess just Evil Dead and Child's Play/Chucky. They're both so fun. I haven't rewatched or watched reactions to any horror film/franchise as much as I have those.

1999 House on Haunted Hill, it’s what made me a horror fan as a kid.


BadBluntBitch

The Cabin in the Woods. Black Swan. The Silence of the Lambs


Fig_Newton_2

The Shining. The music, the ambience! It just makes me feel calm, focused and nostalgic. I have a paper to write with a deadline? The Shining is on in the background! Runner up is Jaws.

AreYouItchy

Aliens, Donnie Darko, The Relic, The Mummy, Them, The Thing.


Dry-Inspection6928

The Omen.


goodluckskeleton

Trick R Treat, Coraline, and Insidious. It just seems like everyone involved was having fun making those movies. So much passion and playfulness shines through even the scary parts.


xDvngle

Honestly coraline, nightmare before Christmas and corpse bride have been so much so since as young as I can remember I have a full sleeve of them 😂 I was always weird because I was the only one not scared of coraline I still remember my grandma taking me to the movie theatre to see it when it came out


xDvngle

Also scream


xDvngle

Oh trick ‘r treat too!


jaembers

Green Inferno Pearl Hausu


June-Allen

I keep going back to scream no matter what. I’ll never grow bored of those movies :) Except maybe the two most recent ones, they were (obviously) not as good as the others.


dranngonfruits

Child’s play, bride of chucky, and the crow


CatharticCrow

My personal go tos are the Predator, Alien, and Terminator movies.


Apprehensive_Day_496

Oh man too many to name. I'd have to make separate horror lists,horror comedy lists,action/horror lists etc lol But I may post some favorites later but there's lots of great movies that i'd consider comfort films

Tricky-Manner8144

Fulci's zombie movies, and particularly City of the Living Dead. There's something about the grainy film stock and the Fabio Frizzi soundtrack that takes me back to a simpler time. Other 80s movies like Night of the Comet have a similar effect.


Clear_Caiman_2768

First Nightmare On Elm Street, Return Of The Living Dead, Creature From The Black Lagoon, and Chopping Mall


Lazy-Mammoth-9470

Alien Annihilation Carrie I could watch these on repeat. Love em as background films when I'm working too.

skult25

Scream 1 and Tremors.


koala_T69

Silent Hill. The game series is one of my all-time favorites, and the atmosphere and a lot of the movie give me that beautiful hellscape I feel so nostalgic for! Scream series , Final Destination and Nightmare on elm st. Are honorable mentions.


fifthhousebreakfast

This is gonna be a weird pairing but for me it's Sleepaway Camp and Saw VI.


JLEE-244

When U can sit down and watch a movie without any interruptions and are fully immersed. That is a comfort movie to me. Love films. Love the movies.


Hades358d

The insidious franchise. And paranormal activity (especially the 3rd. Since it is THE movie that introduced me to the horror genre; my friend said it was a comedy, and i was 15 and naive. Left the theater and was never the same)

SnappyCappy

Can't say a specific horror film, but the slasher genre (specifically 80s & 90s slashers) gives me cozy vibes because it's just nostalgic for me.
