Matinee

I belong where I belong.

Answer: The House with a Clock in Its Walls ()

Jack Black's Jonathan Barnavelt to his young nephew. Eli Roth's 2018 film, a surprising detour into PG family filmmaking for the Hostel director. Adapted from John Bellairs's 1973 novel. Cate Blanchett co-stars.

Primetime

The house is the monster.

Answer: The Changeling ()

John Russell, played by George C. Scott, describing the haunted mansion. Peter Medak's 1980 Canadian ghost story is often cited as one of the scariest films ever made — Martin Scorsese has repeatedly said so.

Midnight

If they hear you, they hunt you.

Answer: A Quiet Place ()

The film's one-line premise on the tagline and in the film's opening text. John Krasinski directed and starred with Emily Blunt. Oscar-nominated for Best Sound Editing — fitting for a nearly dialogue-free film.
