Rainy Day Horror


Maybe a rainstorm makes you in the mood for a dark drizzly movie or spooky endeavors. Whatever your motivation, let's check out some movies that showcase rainy weather in the horror genre and some spooky activities for such a moody day.

Activities

EVP session: Why not just put on an audio recorder and ask questions. Plug it into your computer and upload the files and give them a listen. Wait about 15-20 seconds between questions to be sure you got a response and didn't speak over it.

Write a scary short story: Pick one thing, perhaps a scarecrow or a full moon and write a short story based on it. Try to keep the story under 1500 words.

Check out horror shorts on YouTube: There are some especially spooky horror shorts that are award-winning. 




Begin your Halloween plans: Halloween crafts, party planning, designing your decorating scheme, shopping online for costume ideas and inspirations.

Listen to spooky music: I'd suggest sounds of a thunderstorm or Nox Arcana for the best moody music.

Spend some time in the rain: Go outside. Don't put up an umbrella. Just stand there. Get absolutely soaking. Get under the eaves and dry off. Go inside and make some hot tea, grab a blanket, and proceed to watch a scary movie.


Enjoy your rainstorm and all the spooky mood that imparts!
