funny scary story

Surprise is a key element. For example, when you expect a terrifying monster but it turns out to be something harmless like a cat wearing a spooky mask. It gives that initial scare but then the realization is funny.

Once upon a time, there was a haunted house. People said it was full of ghosts. A group of friends decided to explore it at night. As they entered, they heard strange noises. One friend got so scared that he started running around in circles. But then they found out it was just an old cat stuck in a cupboard making all the noise. They all laughed at how scared they had been.

Start with a unique and unexpected setting. Add some humorous characters or situations within the scary plot. Use vivid and descriptive language to build tension and then throw in a funny twist at key moments.

Well, to make a funny scary story, you need a good balance. Use humor to lighten up the scary parts. For example, have a ghost that trips over its own sheet or a monster with a goofy laugh. Also, throw in some unexpected plot twists that make people both scream and chuckle.

Once there was a mommy who took her kids camping. At night, when they were all in the tent, mommy heard a strange rustling outside. She decided to be funny and told the kids it was a giant monster. The kids got a little scared but then mommy went out with a flashlight, making growling noises herself. When she came back, she said she chased the'monster' away. The kids laughed, realizing mommy was just playing a prank.

Relatable characters. If the characters in the story are like normal people we can identify with, when they get scared by something that's not really that scary in the end, it's funny. For instance, a person who is always so brave but jumps at the sight of a balloon popping in a spooky - looking place. The contrast between their expected and actual reactions is humorous. And also, the build - up of suspense is important. You gradually make the situation seem more and more terrifying until the big reveal that it's not so bad, like when you describe a shadowy figure approaching slowly and then it's just a lost dog.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. He moved into a new old house. One night, he heard strange scratching noises from under his bed. He peeked down and saw a pair of glowing eyes. But when he turned on the light, it was just his cat wearing a pair of glow - in - the - dark glasses that he had left there by mistake. It was both funny and a bit scary at first.

Once upon a time, there was a little kid named Tim. One night, while he was sleeping, he heard a strange scratching noise at his window. He peeked out and saw a big, black shadow that looked like a monster. But then he realized it was just his neighbor's cat that had climbed up the tree. Tim laughed at himself for being so scared and went back to sleep.

Once upon a time, there was a ghost who lived in an old mansion. He was very scary looking with his white sheet and big black holes for eyes. But he was also really clumsy. One day, he was trying to scare a little girl who had come to explore the mansion. He floated out from behind a curtain with a loud 'BOO!'. But instead of scaring the girl, she just laughed because his sheet got caught on a nail and he couldn't move. The girl helped him free and they became friends. After that, the ghost would often play little tricks on the girl that were more funny than scary, like making the teacups dance on the table.

Surprise is a key element. For example, if in a spooky old house, a character thinks they are being haunted by a ghost, but it turns out to be their cat knocking things over in a clumsy way. The unexpected nature makes it both scary at first and then funny.
