Key Horror
What is a key element or ingrediant for horror short stories.?
I like to write, and I’ve set my sights on the horror genre. What do I need to put in my stories in order to make them scary.
What scares you? The dark? The unknown? The threat of pain or death? The terror that cannot be reasoned with? Insanity? The change in yourself that becomes something to fear?
Something loved and familiar that suddenly becomes alien? The clown at midnight?
Write about what scares you. The how and why it scares. Create a situation where your characters must confront and defeat, or are defeated by that thing which scares.
Use your writing to describe the setting, the circumstances and events of that confrontation in a way that will allow your readers to experience that fear, that suspense, that growing unease and eventual terror as they read.
Don’t rely on stereotyped characters or monsters. Make them unique, surprising, living on the page and in the imagination.
Have fun. (heh-heh-heh)
WITCH VIDEO, scary and REAL, and you see HER FACE!!!
