In 1980 — the same year he starred in the sitcom Bosom Buddies — Tom Hanks appeared in the creepy horror film He Knows You’re Alone, in which he played Elliott, a young man skeptical of a woman named Amy (Caitlin O’Heaney) who says a mysterious man is following her.

The movie has a bachelor party scene, perhaps a foreshadowing of one of Hanks’ breakout roles. Tom Hanks, a two-time Best Actor Oscar winner for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, doesn’t do a lot of horror movies now, sadly.
