👻 Power cut in the middle of a horror film, alone at home with every light on

I told everyone I was fine watching a horror film alone at home on Thursday night, and I was fine for the first hour. All the lights in the flat were on. I had a blanket, a plate of mirchi bajji and my phone charging next to me. Then the power went at the exact moment the ghost appeared in the mirror, and the TV went black. I sat very still for about ten seconds. Then I heard the neighbour's door open, which I knew was just the neighbour, but my body did not agree. I reached for my phone and the torch turned out to be pointing at my own face. The power came back after twelve minutes and I finished the film with the volume low and the lights on, though I do not remember how it ended. I have decided horror is for company only. A friend says I am just bad at it and should start with the milder ones, and I am slowly coming around to that view. What is a horror film you can comfortably watch alone? I need one that scares me a little but does not ruin my sleep.

same thing happen almost 2 months back, when i was watching horror movies at 2am when sudden the power cut and i was very much scared and i ran outside of house, and I stayed out until the power is back which took almost 40 min.😅

Twelve minutes of darkness right after a mirror scene is a cruel coincidence. I would have left the flat. For solo viewing I stick to films with a slow story and no jump scares, like the old black and white ones from the sixties.

Mirchi bajji and a horror film sounds like a good night until the power goes. We had a cut in the last ten minutes of a ghost film once and my brother screamed at the neighbour who knocked. If you want something mild, try a horror comedy. The laughs keep your heart steady. The torch pointing at your own face is the best detail, I could picture it perfectly.
