Weather horror!

Storms are violent atmospheric disturbances, characterized by low barometric pressure, cloud cover, heavy precipitation, strong winds and thunderbolts and lightning.

Storms are also the perfect backdrop for many horror films. Of course. A stormy night with thunder ripping through heavy clouds has an inherent unrest, an inherent feeling of violent disturbance which a sunny summer day simply does not.

It is almost like the stormy weather itself becomes an actor in the film.

One of many many stormy Scandinavian nights, as the pitch black ocean thrashed relentlessly against our northern shores, made animals huddle and made people close the curtains and step away from the windows, the Rookies at the Horror Rookie Academy decided to roll with the punches and simply enjoy the raging chaos right outside our doors by conjuring up this list of horror movies portraying storms and extreme weather of all sorts.

They did this for you, dear reader. This is all for you. 💗
