Okay, so, I got this idea the other day, right? I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to have a way to just pick a random horror movie to watch? Like, a horror movie roulette? I’m always stuck scrolling through streaming services, unable to decide. So, I figured, why not build something myself?
First, I grabbed a notebook and jotted down some ideas. I needed a list of horror movies, a way to pick one randomly, and, well, that was pretty much it. Simple enough, yeah?
I started by making a list of a bunch of horror movies I could think of, you know, the classics, some newer ones, some I have already seen, and some I want to watch. I wrote them all down in my notebook, just a big ol’ list. It took a while, but I ended up with a pretty decent-sized list. I figured I could always add more later.
Then came the fun part – making it random. I remembered this website my friend showed me a while back that could generate random numbers. I thought maybe I could just write numbers next to each movie title, then use the website to pick a number, and boom, there’s my movie.
Trying it Out
So I did just that. I numbered each movie on my list. Then I went to the random number generator website, entered the range of numbers (1 to however many movies I had), and hit “generate.”
- The number popped up, and I matched it to the movie on my list.
- I picked up my phone.
- Searched the film and found it on a streaming service.
- Finally, I started to watch it!
It actually worked pretty well! No more endless scrolling. Just a quick number generation and I had a movie to watch. It is not a big deal, but it is kind of fun, especially when you’re in the mood for a horror flick but can’t make up your mind. It’s like a little surprise every time. I might try to make it into a simple website or app later. But for now, this notebook and random number generator method are doing the trick. You should try it sometime!
