Author Topic: Need help writing scary story  (Read 830 times)

School assignment, I'm drawing blanks.
I'm not a very scary guy, but I need some original ideas to kick off a story.

The catch is I need to be able to present it from memory in a pitch black old rifle range. I need to get some sleep, but can I ask you guys for some spooky ideas to help get my story started?

I can think of some ideas on my own, though I'm hoping for some good ideas from you!

THE MAIN CHARACTER IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE
makes it all better :cookieMonster:

make it a journal, like

"6/4
New house, lol!"
"6/7
the forget was that"
"6/10
*insanescribbling/picture of slenderman*"

or have it be about mannequins. oh yes. the ones that move when you don't look.

A guy's fortune of death comes true.

He goes to a fortune teller in a carnival, and she tells him that she sees a horrible future. After he meets her, he starts having the best week of his life. He gets a promotion, he wins the lottery, and other things that I cant think of. Then, one day, he loses everything and commits Self Delete. OR. One day he dies from an untimely death.

-Kid used to go with grandpa to rifle range every weekend
-Kid accidentally goes to take target out for grandpa
-Kid accidentally gets shot, dies
-Haunts the rifle range you are at

have the main person follow the arcana tarot cards in order somehow without knowing, then realized he's forgeted when he gets to Death.
actually that's not scary :o make a ghost go 'boo!'

The story would be about a librarian with a dark past. It would takes place in a factory in a small city. The critical element of the story is the taking of a test. The threat of terrorism would play a major part in this story.

Forgot to mention it's oral tradition stuff haha oral whatever.
No props, but can have sound effects.

knock knock. creaaaak... BOO!

AND THEN A SKELETON POPPED OUT

A story about a person walking down a long, dark, winding path and they keep hearing noises, but the road just keeps getting longer and longer and the faster the person runs, the more they stay in place.

according to this logic: staying still = light speed

at least in my perspective

Yeah, his life is looking great, when he gets delusions, small at first, but they keep getting bigger until they consume said person

wait what
No, I'd be great. A lone librarian is actually part of a deadly terrorist gang. However, he stays undercover in a small town, where he trains prospective new terrorists. The test would involve a factory that is abandoned, and the new terrorists would have to blow it up. However the whole operation would be thwarted by the FBI in a deadly thrill- Wait, this sounds more like an action movie.
