Does anyone watch horror movies during tough times as a source of comfort? As the title states, I’ve been going through a lot of ups and downs over the last 3 months. During this time, I’ve turned to watching scary movies as a source of comfort - and probably some escapism too. Some notable ones have included Poltergeist (watched this one a bunch bc it’s one of my faves), Get Out, The Ring, The Shining, Misery, Rec, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, The Witch, It, The Conjuring, The Descent, Audition, X and Pearl. Do you have any comfort horror movies? Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who shared their stories and comfort movies. I know this time of year can be especially rough for some (myself included) so to all that are navigating their own struggles and rough times, glad we all have some scary movies as comforts to help us along the way.
