A story about a cursed doll. A little girl finds an old, tattered doll in a thrift store. She takes it home, and strange things start to happen. Her toys start to move on their own, and she hears whispers at night. It's revealed that the doll was once owned by a witch, and now it's bringing bad luck to the girl's family.
You could write a story about a little girl's ghost. She died in a tragic accident in a school. Now, at night, her figure can be seen in the empty classrooms, writing on the chalkboards with invisible chalk. Her sad sobs echo through the hallways, and she often appears to students who stay late to study, scaring them half to death.
A ghost story about a vengeful spirit in an old family mansion. The family was involved in some dark secrets in the past, like murdering a servant. Now, the servant's ghost makes strange noises at night, moves objects, and leaves cold spots throughout the house. It especially targets the descendants of the family who wronged it.
Here's an idea for a short horror story. A young woman moves into a new apartment. She discovers a locked room that no one in the building seems to know about. One night, she hears strange scratching noises coming from behind the locked door. When she finally manages to open it, she finds a diary that reveals the previous tenant was driven insane by a malevolent presence in that very room.
Yes, they can be. The whole concept of taking cute Funko figures and adding a horror twist is quite spooky. Just imagining your favorite character turned into something terrifying is enough to give you the chills.
One scary story is about a pizza delivery guy who went to an old, dilapidated house. When he knocked, the door creaked open by itself. He could hear strange noises inside, like whispers and scratching. He was so terrified that he just dropped the pizza and ran back to his car. He later found out that the house was rumored to be haunted.
Another idea is a cursed object. For example, a beautiful antique mirror. Whoever looks into it starts to see a distorted version of themselves that slowly becomes more and more menacing. Then, bad things start to happen to them in real life - they get into accidents, lose their jobs, or their loved ones start to act strangely towards them as if they are being influenced by the mirror's curse.
One cool idea could be a haunted house where the walls ooze blood and the rooms shift randomly. Every time someone tries to escape, they find themselves back in the scariest room.
