Spotlight on Night Terrors
Afraid of the dark? You’re not alone, for obvious reason: some things are just creepier at night-time. Things that live in the shadow, hide from sight, and slither out of view. Whether measured in hours, minutes, seconds, or even heartbeats (that might just feel a little too strong and alarmingly fast,) a single night can last a long time.

These films will get you through the darkest nights of the year, if you can just hold out until dawn.
