Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

A really good cliffhanger horror story is 'The Shining'. The mystery of the hotel and the strange things that start to happen to the family are full of cliffhangers. For example, the boy's visions and the father's descent into madness. And then there's 'Rosemary's Baby'. The build - up to the baby's birth and the horror that surrounds it has a great cliffhanger. You're left speculating about the future of the baby and Rosemary.

They often use foreshadowing to create cliffhangers. Let's say a character in a horror story finds an old diary that mentions a curse. As the story progresses, strange things start to happen but the full nature of the curse is not revealed until the end, if at all. This builds suspense. Also, cliffhangers can be created by putting the characters in dangerous situations at the end of a chapter or scene. Say a group of friends is being chased by a serial killer in the woods and the chapter ends there. You're left on the edge of your seat, eager to know if they'll escape.

They play on our fears. Cliffhangers in horror make us anticipate the worst. Take 'The Monkey's Paw'. We fear what new horror the next wish might bring, and the fact that it doesn't fully show it just heightens the tension. It's like a rollercoaster that doesn't quite reach the end of the track, leaving you in suspense.

One of the best cliffhanger stories is 'The Lord of the Rings' series. At the end of 'The Fellowship of the Ring', Frodo and Sam are setting off on their own towards Mordor, leaving the readers eager to know what challenges they will face. Another is 'The Hunger Games'. At the end of the first book, Katniss and Peeta are both about to eat the poisonous berries, which is a huge cliffhanger. Also, 'Sherlock Holmes' stories often have great cliffhangers, like in some cases where Holmes seems to be in a life - threatening situation at the end of a chapter, leaving the readers wondering how he will escape.
