   Comfort rewatches. The horror films you put on when you are sick, sad or just tired. Mine is $JAWS, every time. It is basically a summer holiday with a shark.

   $PLTG. The family is so warm that the haunting feels like a weather event they will get through together.

   $EVDD, the second one especially. Slapstick horror is chicken soup.

   Not a film, but replaying the first hour of a survival horror game I have finished twenty times. Save room music is my lullaby.

   $SHNG in winter. I know it is not supposed to be comforting. It is comforting to me. The hotel feels like home at this point, which is probably a warning sign.

   Definitely a warning sign. Enjoy your stay.

   Ring on a rainy afternoon. I know every beat, so it turns into a ritual instead of a scare.

   The Host when I am sick. A family drama that happens to have a creature in it. Makes me want to call my family.

   $ALNF, because it has the most calming spaceship interior ever built, right up until it does not. Sometimes I watch the first half and stop. Pure comfort.

    Cronos on a quiet night. Del Toro's first feature, and very tender for a vampire story.

    $GRML after a bad shift. Hard to stay grumpy while a gremlin is singing along.
