There was this ttrpg where the story took place in a small, isolated village. The villagers were all under the influence of a dark cult. The players' characters were outsiders who came to investigate some strange disappearances. But they quickly found themselves in over their heads. The cultists started performing dark magic on them, and the players had to fight not only for their characters' lives but also their sanity. The whole experience was very intense and left a lasting impression.
One horror story is about a group playing a post - apocalyptic ttrpg. The game master was really into creating a spooky atmosphere. He described a derelict hospital filled with mutant creatures. One player's character got separated from the group and was chased by a grotesque mutant. The player was so immersed that they actually screamed in real life.
Definitely 'I always thought my cat had a staring problem. She does. From inside the walls.' This one is memorable because it starts with a rather common thought about a pet but then takes a very dark and spooky turn.
There's this story that stands out. A girl started having vivid nightmares after following a strange Tumblr account. In her dreams, she was being chased by a faceless figure. The figure got closer each night. She tried to block the account but the nightmares continued until she completely deleted her Tumblr and the nightmares stopped. It's a story that makes you think twice about what you engage with on the platform.
A really memorable SNL horror story involves a miscommunication between the writers and the actors. The actors thought they were doing one version of a sketch and the writers had made last - minute changes that they didn't communicate well. So, when the sketch started, the actors were completely thrown off and had to struggle through it, trying to make sense of the new lines and plot points. It made for a very jumbled and almost unwatchable sketch.
A memorable one is when a student went to the wrong exam room and by the time they realized, it was too late. They were marked absent for that exam.
The unique aspect of a ttrpg feminist horror story is the way it subverts traditional horror tropes. Instead of just having women as victims, it can show them as strong survivors. For example, a female character might use her wits and knowledge, which are often undervalued in horror, to outsmart the horror entity.
I recall a horror story where the web application was hacked because of a simple security flaw. It was a SQL injection vulnerability that the developers had overlooked. The hackers were able to access user data and it was a huge mess. We had to shut down the application, fix the vulnerability, and then do a lot of damage control to regain the trust of the users. It was a very costly and time - consuming process.
At my office, we had a really strict boss who was always very proper. One day, a huge spider dropped right on his head during a meeting. He completely lost his composure, jumping up and swatting at his head. His face was so red, and we all tried really hard not to laugh out loud. It was a funny office horror story because it was so unexpected, especially for someone as uptight as him.
A memorable one was when a group of students decided to do a midnight 'ghost hunt' in an old campus building. They were all scared but trying to be brave. One of them tripped over a broomstick and screamed thinking it was a ghost. The others started laughing so hard that they forgot about being scared.
I think the parts where the normal and the supernatural collide are quite memorable. Like when they are having a normal day in the studio and suddenly something inexplicable occurs. It shows the contrast between the ordinary world they are used to and the strange, otherworldly events that start to happen. This can create a sense of fear and suspense as the readers wonder what will happen next.
