It depends. Some stories can be quite scary, especially if they involve elements like ghosts, monsters, or intense suspense. But not all stories are meant to scare.
The sound design is crucial. Scary animes usually have eerie background music and sound effects. In 'Corpse Party: Tortured Souls', the creaking floors and screams create a terrifying atmosphere. And they usually have disturbing or mysterious plotlines. Like in 'Higurashi no Naku Koro ni', the mystery behind the strange events in the village is what makes it so scary.
The atmosphere is key. You need to create a spooky, uneasy feeling. Use descriptive words like 'gloomy', 'dank', and 'eerie'. Also, a good scary story has a menacing character or force. It could be a ghost, a monster, or just an unknown evil.
Yes, it's normal. Tearing can be a natural response to the intense emotions associated with a scary story. It shows that the person is really engaged in the story they are telling.
By using a low, hushed voice. When an old woman speaks in a very quiet, almost whisper - like voice while telling a story, it immediately creates an eerie atmosphere.
We should stop telling scary stories because they can cause unnecessary fear and anxiety, especially to those who are easily frightened, like young children or people with a sensitive disposition.
It depends. Some people are more likely to get emotionally involved in the process of telling a scary story. For instance, children or those with a vivid imagination may cry while telling a scary story as they are fully immersed in the horror they are creating. However, others may be more stoic and not show such an emotional reaction.
One such anime is 'Another'. It's a really spooky anime that tells a story filled with mystery and horror. The setting in a school with a dark secret makes it even more terrifying.
To start telling a scary story, first think of an eerie character. It could be a shadowy figure lurking in the alley. Then introduce this character right at the beginning. Say something like 'There was a figure, all in black, that no one had ever really seen clearly, but everyone feared.'
He might start with a very quiet voice to create an eerie atmosphere, like 'Once upon a time, in a very dark place...'
One consequence is that it can make people, especially children, afraid to be alone. They may start seeing things in the dark and become overly paranoid.
