The 10 Best Horror Movies For A 3AM Screening, According

Nothing good happens after 3AM, does it?

Midnight Madness is more than just a concept, it’s a way of life. The Midnight Madness showcase at the Toronto International Film Festival, in particular, is an infamous breeding ground for some of horror’s most notorious titles. Many other film festivals (like Sundance) have their own middle of the night sections, dedicated to screening the genre’s wildest and most exciting programming. Now Reddit is getting in on the fun. Users over at the internet’s front page are voting on what scary titles are best suited for a 3AM screening slot.

To get more specific, Reddit user ChicagoBurdman asks: if you were responsible to program a 3AM slot with a horror film, what you include? It’s a great question. 3 AM, also known as the devils hour, is truly the most ungodly hour. And therefore, possibly the most perfect time to be showcasing outrageous and mind bending horror of any kind.

I’ve gone through the votes and assembled Reddit’s answers in order of upvoting. Check out the list right here:

1. Dead Alive – 200 Upvotes
2. The Return Of The Living Dead – 117 Upvotes
3. Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight – 117 Upvotes
4. Demons – 62 Upvotes
5. Midnight Meat Train – 42 Upvotes
6. The Exorcism of Emily Rose – 37 Upvotes
7. Ichi The Killer – 34 Upvotes
8. Reanimator – 32 Upvotes
9. Hausu – 31 Upvotes
10. Society – 24 Upvotes

Personally, I’d love to stay up all night to watch The Return of the Living Dead. That film’s combination of fun, scary, and outrageousness is the perfect cocktail for a 3AM fever dream showcase.

But what say you? What horror movie would you screen, if given the responsbilty of programming a 3 AM slot? Let me know on Twitter via @joshkorngut. I’m always around to chat all things midnight horror!
