Keith Uhlich of The Hollywood Reporter conversely termed it a "lackluster adaptation", adding that the monsters depicted in the film are "scary", though "they'd be much more so if they felt less like franchisable IP and more like fervent expressions of the ills of the eras on which the film aims to comment."[39] William Bibbiani of Bloody Disgusting wrote that the film "often works very well for several, breathless minutes at a time. But in between those excellent scares there's a lot of filler, a lot of perfunctory plotting and a lot of mediocre character development."[40] Alan Jacques of Limerick Post gave the film two points out of five and stated "This movie is definitely not meant for a pre-teen audience. There are one or two genuinely creepy moments that would leave your precious nippers sleeping with the lights on until they finish college.... For a young audience coming to horror for the first time, this isn't a bad place to start, but for anyone with a real appreciation of the genre this might feel rather dull and unoriginal."[41] In his review for The Verge, Noah Berlatsky stated "...Scary Stories is remarkably insightful and sober in its assessment of the way stories control people, rather than the other way around. Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was supposed to be the summer's virtuoso meta-fiction, but its rewritten happy ending, musing on the impotence of writing, seems a lot less bleak than Scary Stories' acknowledgment that some scripts will take you far away where you'll never be seen again."[42]

The depression monsters are more sad than scary. Anxiety looks as if it's always in the middle of a panic attack but which is unsettling. ADHD has a lot of limbs that it can't seem to control. Down Syndrome reminds me of a child and isn't scary at all. Those are the only ones I've been able to identify for certain but there's more out there.

Stories must be in the horror and/or thriller genre. You may borrow from other genres, but the main focus of the story MUST be to horrify, scare, or unsettle. Joke and troll posts will be removed. Stories about depression, suicide, mental illness, medical ailments, and other assorted topics may be removed. If we can interpret the story as being scary, we will do so. Badly written stories, don't necessarily fall under this category. The story can be terrible, but still be focused on horror.

Beneath these trees Margie told a story of an old Church that had since been torn down but served as a hospital for Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. She talked of a mad doctor who stored body parts and a mass grave where many soldiers were buried.

How stories are told and shared have changed over the centuries. From local oral traditions like the Bell Witch to video shorts that spread rapidly around the world, the trend of telling scary stories has not faded. As long as people are anxious about the unknowns in life and are curious about the next, scary stories will thrive within our culture.

I was working alone to restock Five and Dime. (The merchandise store in Toontown.) Toontown had closed for the night and all the other Cast Members had left. While re-stocking shirts a mug fell off the shelf on the other side of the store. Again no one else in the store but me and I was a good 20 feet away. The shelf is super sturdy and heavy wood attached to the wall.

Do your dressed-up little ones need a collection bag for their treasure haul? Wicker baskets, buckets and reusable shopping bags all make great trick-or-treating tools. Get crafty and have kids decorate an old pillowcase in the theme of their costume. Want a more traditional plastic pumpkin carrying case? Do a bit of treasure hunting to find one at a secondhand store instead of buying new.

Sarah Bellows was the third child born to Delanie and Deodat Bellows, the younger sister to Ephraim and Harold, and the granddaughter of Gertrude Bellows. She was the only one of the Bellows children to be born with albinism, leading to her family locking her away in a small hidden room in the basement. Sarah spent her days writing and telling scary stories through the wall to the local children who came to visit her.

By the beginning of the film, in 1968, seventy years after her passing, Sarah had become a myth in Mill Valley. The local legend, with variations, given Chuck's remark, "There's no book in the version of the myth I heard," states that Sarah spent her dats telling scary stories to the local children, and that she began poisoning them for unknown reasons, resulting in an unknown number of deaths. A mob hadd purportedly formed in anger, but before they could do anything, Sarah had hanged herself "with her own hair". It was also said that anyone who entered the Bellows house at night and said "Sarah Bellows, tell me a story." would die shortly after.

Her room is discovered by Stella Nicholls and her friends after escaping the local bully, Tommy Milner. Stella finds Sarah's book of scary stories on the bookshelf, and while Chuck insists that Stella put it back, she instead takes it with her before they leave the house, uttering the words, "Sarah Bellows, tell me a story," effectively waking Sarah's enraged spirit.

The house was scary, and some nights were worse than others. One night, when she was in her room reading, the lamp suddenly went off. She thought the light bulb had died. She did not want to bother her mother, who was already sleeping, by asking for a new bulb. So she put down her book and prepared to sleep. All of a sudden, there was a quiet knocking on the window next to her bed. She saw the reflection of a boy, about her age, reflected on the window glass.

Whether the occasion is a camp fire, a sleepover, or a Halloween party, a scary story sets the stage for a fun time. Turn off the lights, set the stage, use your creepiest voice, and be prepared for a late night with little sleep!

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a timeless collection of chillingly scary tales and legends, in which folklorist Alvin Schwartz offers up some of the most alarming tales of horror, dark revenge, and supernatural events of all time.

It's important when setting a scene of any kind to play to readers' emotions and create an image, so your story can play in their mind's eye while reading. The best way to practice doing this is by incorporating each of the senses into your story, starting with the introduction. What did she hear "thumping" around outside or down stairs? Did she smell something strange that alarmed her? Did she feel something scary in her house... her bathtub eerily and strangely overflowing so she walked into the bathroom stepping on the unusually wet floor? Did she see an image (of a shadow, a person, a zombie) in the mirror behind while brushing her teeth or a person climbing through the bathroom window? Taste may not work here at this point in the story, but may come later unless her toothpaste creepily tasted like candy or brains or_____... did the intruder or monster switch it out when she wasn't looking?

Anne from L.A. -- Right now, you have an everyday situation (handing out candy on Halloween), and have brought in a scary element (the sound). Was this a new sound (ie a lion chomping on bones, the sound of an earthquake, only lower or higher)? How did her actions change? Is she a girl who would go get someone, check it out herself, or pretend it did not happen?

There is a little trick that movie makers are using: e.g. a scene in a cozy room. People are gathering at a fireplace, the camera starts to focus on the emormous painting of an angry looking ancestor...Later this painting will play a dominat role as well as the ancestor. In your story writing you want to guide the reader the same manipulating way like the director of photography does. Visualize your story. Your "scary sentence starter" is the starting point of this manipulation. Par Example:

Melissa had always loved Halloween-her favorite time of year! Scary, funny, and SPOOKY! She had just given the last of her candy to the kids in the neighborhood and was exhausted from so much fun. She had spent weeks decorating her house with ghosts, goblins, and noises in the dark. As she trudged up the stairs to brush her teeth and get ready for bed, an odd noise came from the spare bedroom. An eerie noise, a scary noise, an " I never heard that before" noise. She thought, " I'll bet it's Joey trying to scare me!". But when she went to the door and opened it, she became paralized with fear because...
