MythrilMagician 6,963 Posted September 27, 2016 I'm actually interested in this story. We could help with proofreading if you want. That way you'd know if it's scary or not. 2 Philip Ellwell and Frisk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted September 27, 2016 That could help. I narrowed it down between three ideas: A semi cliched vampire gothic with the twist being the "vampire" is a deranged killer The Boogeyman in the closet being real, and killing a teenager And blowing out a pumpkin on Halloween early, and invoking the wrath of ancient druidic spirits. Any of them sound "scary"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emrys 3,192 Posted September 27, 2016 Im actually hard to scare so idk. 2nd ones sounds the most scary to me. You know if Re:Zero has taught me anything its that terror has its degrees of freshness. The more intense the fear the more all of the other emotions die. Terror in its truest sense is not a static state but a dynamic one. Its that moment when a persons hope turns to despair. Put a person in a scary situation and then dangle a bit of hope in that person that take it away. In scary storys that seems to have the darkest effect on protagonists.

Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted September 27, 2016 Hmmm.... like some horrible situation that seems to have hope, then it gets yanked away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emrys 3,192 Posted September 27, 2016 Yep. In Re:Zero thats what drove the main character so crazy he was a vegetable for a few episodes. Of course he saw some f'd up shit thou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted September 27, 2016 Hmmm... something with a hitch hiker? Like a roaming killer. That's really cliche, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MythrilMagician 6,963 Posted September 27, 2016 The one about Halloween sounds pretty spooky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted September 27, 2016 It could work.... I mean, I can do gore, it's an adult community, so I was thinking all out: the spirits totally destroy these people for disrespecting a tradition. But Trick R' treat had a similar idea, so it could be seen as copying.... Something Lovecraftian could work: some horrible, unstoppable force waking up, and the story ending on total destruction. Bleak and sad endings can be pretty unsettling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted September 27, 2016 Not really: one of Lovecraft's unfinished stories described a house letting loose demons that destroyed whole countries in 500 words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
