7. Read yourself a hair-raising story.
Scroll through Creepy Catalog for a terrifying tale that'll leave you feeling scared to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. In the dark by candlelight, read a few of the stories to yourself. Reading aloud makes for an even more frightening experience. If you're more of a bookworm, try any one of these. Or you can peruse through Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, which is literally intended for this purpose, and definitely gave me more than a few nightmares as a kid.
8. Blast Halloween music.
It's hard to go wrong with this 85-track Halloween playlist, chockfull of classics like "Thriller," "Monster Mash," "I Put a Spell On You," and more.
