Does both 1st and 3rd person work in the same story?

I am writing a horror story. I want to begin with introducing a large number of characters, so writing in the 3rd person will be hard. But, after a few chapters, the story switches and basically just has one character alone for the majority - so 1st person would allow me to be more personal and give better tension. Has anyone read any novels whereby both 1st and 3rd person has been successfully pulled off, or will it just be too jarring?
