My spooky show night got a soundtrack of baby cries

I invited some pals over for a horror series marathon. My cousin's newborn cried during all the scary parts, turning it into a joke. What's your fix for loud interruptions?

Back in my college dorm, we had a similar thing with fire alarms going off during movie nights. Honestly, getting noise canceling headphones like Simon suggests would just cut you off from your friends. Those baby cries are now a core memory of your horror night, not a bug. Ngl, trying to fix every loud interruption makes everything too sterile and boring. The mess is what makes hanging out with people fun, not some perfect, quiet show.

That "soundtrack of baby cries" is too real. My friend had a neighbor's parrot that squawked through every quiet moment in his shows. He got a pair of noise-canceling headphones, and now he can watch anything without those random interruptions.

Your cousin's baby just became the world's tiniest horror critic, lol. Maybe the cries are just a review of the jump scares. Next time, see if the kid prefers comedies.

But what if the baby's just mad about the bad plot twists?
