If you're a fan of true crime and/or being generally terrified, you've probably heard of Netflix's new documentary Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes.
30 years after his execution, the film unearths old recordings of the infamous serial killer, as well as stories from the women who managed to escape his deadly rampages.
It's a harrowing watch to say the least, and Netflix offered viewers some advice: don't watch it alone.
Viewers immediately decided to watch it alone.

Other Twitter users, however, found the documentary was not quite as frightening as Netflix made it out to be.

Others were just eager to prove they were brave enough to handle the movie solo.
