What to do on a Dark and Stormy Night

  

Nothing like a dark and stormy night to give you the atmosphere and mood to stoke the fires of mystery. Even if your power isn't out, just turn out the lights and screens in the house and let the lightning illuminate the creepiest corners - 




Whether you use kerosene, batteries, or a candle, a hurricane lantern (or a dozen) are the best nighttime mood enhancers ever. Head down the hallway in your dark home carrying a lantern and see how different your world feels.



Spooky movies that are ideal for a dark and stormy night - 

The Haunting
Dead Silence
The Woman in Black
The Amityville Horror
Poltergeist
The Changeling



A candlelight supper with lightning flashing outside is a dream. Add the right music too - 



Want some entertainment? How about telling scary stories by candlelight or shadow puppets on the wall?





If it's not a stormy night, make it one - 




Amp up the romance and have supper by candelabra light - 


Go for ornate wine glasses and really put on the gothic vibe - 



A charcuterie tray for cheeses, figs, grapes, salami, etc - 



Enjoy the atmosphere, maybe even dress for the occasion -
