First, place them at key moments. For example, when the tension is building, use a sentence like 'The hairs on the back of his neck stood up as an eerie silence filled the room.' This heightens the sense of dread. Also, use them to describe the setting. 'The dilapidated cemetery was filled with tombstones that seemed to lean towards each other, as if sharing dark secrets.'
To make good use of sentences in a horror story, vary their length. A short, sharp sentence like 'It was there.' can have a big impact. But also have longer, more descriptive ones. 'The cellar smelled of decay and death, and as she descended the rickety stairs, she could feel the malevolence seeping from the walls, like a cold fog that wrapped around her soul.' You should also use them to build character fear. 'His hands trembled as he read the strange symbols carved into the ancient door: symbols that seemed to call out to something otherworldly.'
Create a sense of dread through the character's senses. Say something like 'She covered her ears to block out the incessant scratching sound that seemed to be coming from inside the walls, but it only grew louder, driving her closer to madness.' This shows how the character is being affected by a strange and menacing sound. It makes the reader feel the character's fear and also wonder what is making that sound.
One could be 'The shadows in the corner seemed to writhe and twist, as if alive.' Another is 'A cold, clammy hand brushed against her neck, sending shivers down her spine.' And 'The silence was broken only by the slow, methodical drip of something unknown in the darkness.'
You can use 'The old, creaking floorboards groaned under his feet, as if warning him to turn back, but he pressed on, oblivious to the doom that awaited him.' This sentence is effective in a horror story. The description of the floorboards as old and creaking gives a spooky setting. The idea that they seem to be 'warning' the character adds an element of the supernatural. And the fact that the character ignores this warning and is headed towards doom ramps up the tension for the reader.
Make the sentences vivid. Don't just say 'It was scary.' Instead, say something like 'The walls seemed to ooze a dark liquid that smelled of decay, and the air was filled with a deathly silence.' Vivid descriptions make the horror more palpable to the reader.
First, kids can pick some of the sentences that catch their attention. For example, if there is a sentence about a magical forest, they can start with that. Then, they can think about how the characters in the story would react in that forest. They might add some details like the colors of the trees or the sounds of the animals. After that, they can choose another sentence that fits well with the first one, like a sentence about a little girl who gets lost in the forest. And keep adding sentences one by one to build up the story.

To use good phrases effectively in a horror story, you need to be aware of the pacing. Slow - paced parts can benefit from phrases like 'a creeping sense of unease spread'. In fast - paced, action - filled parts, something like 'the terrifying apparition lunged' works well. You should also make sure the phrases fit the overall tone. If your story has a more psychological horror feel, 'the silent whispers in my mind' is a good choice.
Life is precious, love is more valuable; if it is for freedom, both can be abandoned. Petofi All men are bound to die, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Sima Qian The sky is not always clear, and life is not always happy. Sunflowers will open up even if they can't see the sun. They will persevere even if they can't see hope in life. Don't easily love, don't easily hate, let youth leave more unrestrained marks. You're happy because you're innocent, you're charming because you have a forgiving heart. Let friendship become a song on the prairie, let hostility be like fleeting clouds, reach out to each other's hands and hold the enviable youth and innocence. People always cherish what they don't get and forget what they have. I hope you can still look at the ups and downs of life with a calm and indifferent heart after experiencing all the vicissitudes of life. May you work hard all your life, be loved all your life, have everything you want, and let go of everything you can't get. May you be treated gently by this world. There is always a time in life that is full of uneasiness, but we have no choice but to face it bravely. The happiest thing about nine people: parents are still alive, confidants are still alive, and lovers are not stolen away. Everything else is just an illusion. Don't be too calculative. The value of 10 people was not measured by time, but by depth.
Atmosphere is crucial. Dark, gloomy settings with a touch of the unknown, like a decaying mansion filled with secrets. Next, a threat that's both real and terrifying. It could be a malevolent force that defies explanation. Finally, a sense of impending doom. The feeling that something bad is about to happen no matter what the characters do.
Let the words build tension. Start with milder words like 'eerie' at the beginning of a spooky scene and gradually progress to stronger ones like 'sinister' as the danger or mystery intensifies. This way, you can draw the reader deeper into the horror of the story. For example, first describe an 'eerie' mist that slowly reveals a 'sinister' figure lurking within.
