Scary Movie Cure for Loneliness

The joke plays on the idea that watching a scary movie will make you feel less lonely because you'll have the fear and suspense to distract you. However, the twist is that instead of providing comfort, the scary movie will give you another reason to not feel alone – the presence of scary characters or the suspense will make you feel less lonely, but in a scary way. It's funny because it turns the expectation of comfort on its head.
