I've been thinking about a horror story, but I have questions. What makes a good horror story? If, for example, you were to be inspired by a horror film like Halloween or whatever, you might write a story about a crazy guy who breaks into a house and stabs an occupant, complete with a PG gore rating. That's not what you want, is it? I've also been thinking about humourous horror, but have had no inspiration yet. If you have any additional guidelines, let us know. Edit: Actually, I just thought of something. Here's my horror story in 10 words hehe. stab heart scream wound blood guts heartbeatless nightmare scream justadream Edited by Ruum Taedor, 3 Jul 2009, 07:16 PM.

It should do, Singstar, universal hub (USB) thingy but if not I will get you something like a token Ruum, I do hope that's not your entry because if it is you are last already - unless you are the only entrant ![]() Horror is not necessarily gore, it is suspense but the story does not have to be conclusive. You can end it with something like 'As she approached the coffin, the lid rose and she retracted with horror at the ghastly and distorted image before her.... (Dun dun DUNNNN!)

What d'ya mean "no takers"? What about my last place entry? OK, I have another last place entry that I put some thought into. It starts as a traditional nursery rhyme, then I transform it into something of a twisted creation. Part of it was inspired by our lovely Lo. Can you guess which part? Please save your applause until the very end. Little Miss Muffet Meets Dracula Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet, Disliking her curds and whey; Along came a spider, Who sat down beside her And said "I have something to say." Your curds and your whey, a boring meal again today? You curse and you curse, Could nothing be worse? I have a friend, a means to an end, and you won't have to worry, about another meal dreary, Go down to the castle, and without a hastle, You'll drink with delight, all through the night. As she approached the coffin, the lid rose and she retracted with horror at the ghastly and distorted image before her.... (Dun dun DUNNNN!) |
