- The thing that comes at night is never explicitly named in the film. However, surprises always do. Will breaking in, the mauled Stanley, and Travis’ nightmares all mean that there is one thing entering the safe and secure home: paranoia. Paranoia is the thing that comes at night, and it dooms them all.
