Home Alone? These 17 Horror Movies Are Perfect For Watching Solo

This scary movie follows a serial killer investigation, and while it's definitely creepy as hell, it's on the move enough not to make you fear your home's dark corners.

While certainly a horror movie, Get Out also has elements of humour. It's less of a "makes you scared to get up and grab a midnight snack" movie and more of a "makes you fearful of other people" one.

The entire premise of It Follows is the need to stay on the move, which means that the film takes place in tons of different locations outside the house.

Carrie has plenty of unsettling scenes in that attic bedroom, but it has an element of old-school camp that makes it less traumatizing for a modern viewer. Plus, the crux of the movie famously takes place at a high school prom!

This groundbreaking found-footage horror film has scared many people out of camping trips, but is an OK option to watch solo in the comfort of your own home.

Because this film primarily takes place in underground caverns, it will feel less familiar to somebody who's watching from the comfort of a bed or couch.

Unless you live in a Pilgrim-era cottage, the spooky house scenes in The Witch will make you say "oh sh*t!" in the moment, but won't affect your ability to walk around an empty house after the credits roll.

Buried takes place almost entirely inside a wooden box, so it won't remind you of your empty house — unless you live in a coffin!

This movie does take place in a remote cabin, but it's got several funny, unexpected elements that will keep you feeling safe while you're alone.

Zombies? Check. Blood and guts? Check. Enough jokes to keep the whole thing from feeling too horrendous? Checkmate.

There are a few spooky house scenes in The Village, but the movie takes place primarily outdoors or in large groups. Plus, this is one of the less overtly scary films on the list!

This film will definitely stick with you after the credits roll, but not in a way that'll make you fearful of being home alone.

This '80s vampire flick checks several of the "OK to watch at home alone" boxes: it's got old-school campiness galore and it takes place mostly in public or outdoors. (It might make you scared of men with mullets, though!)

Though often inside a home, Life After Beth has more funny moments than jump scares.

This iconic horror film will make you more scared of criminal psych wards than of your own bathroom mirror.
