Your ultimate scary movie survival kit!
Spooky season is here and with that comes all things scary. Horror movie nights are a thrilling way to spend a fall evening, especially on Halloween. For a perfect spooky film night, the following checklist is all that is needed. Go plan one!
A bestie
A best friend is essential to a scary movie night. You will need them to hide behind during the spine-chilling bits. And also to talk you out of staying up all night because you are scared that a clown might appear in your room.
Popcorn
As with candy, popcorn is another essential aspect to a scary movie night. Whether it is freshly popped or from a bag does not matter, this will help balance out the sugar high you got from eating all that candy earlier. It’s also perfect for stressfully munching on in the most hair-raising parts of your chosen creepy movie.
Candy - sour, sweet, chocolate, anything!
A successful spine-chilling movie night (or any movie night really) would not be complete without candy. Candy of all varieties is essential, no matter how much anyone says that only one is enough. A fun activity to do is make a candy salad with your friends and share the most traumatizing horror movie you’ve seen (for extra spooky season points, buy the pumpkin shaped Reese’s Peanut Cups).
A dark, quiet space
Scary movies must be watched in the dark, it’s the rule. Whether it is outside with a projector, or inside with all the lights turned off, to create the perfect frightening atmosphere it will need to be dark. This will also help when you want to jumpscare your friends mid-movie.
Fluffy blankets and hot cocoa
Fluffy blankets are necessary for hiding under (and covering your eyes with) when things get too sinister. Hot cocoa can also help keep you cozy, with the cold weather and fog rolling in hot drinks are the perfect edition to any horror movie night. But it is really perfect for calming nerves when things start to get tense. You can also use this to wash down the sweets and attempt to pick the popcorn out of your teeth.
