Episode 214: Horror Stories for a Rainy Night

Rain sounds are the perfect backdrop to horror stories because they create an atmosphere of isolation, unease, and creeping tension. The steady patter of rain against windows or the distant rumble of thunder sets a somber, eerie mood, masking distant footsteps or unsettling noises in the dark.
The relentless downpour can symbolize dread, trapping characters in their surroundings and making escape feel impossible. Shadows stretch and distort under flickering streetlights, while the cold, damp air heightens the sense of vulnerability. In horror, rain isn’t just weather… it’s a silent accomplice to fear.
