What are some good titles for a scary story?

Asked by walawalabingbang (38points) January 2nd, 2011

Im thinking of writing story just for fun and I know this may seem creepy but I’m really into suspense and horror books. And I just cant seem to find anything to write about.. And so I was hoping that you guys could give me some good titles and I could write the story to it. Thats how I usually work- get a title then put a story with it but I can’t come up with anything! Any good titles will be greatly appreciated and marked as a great answer.

After you’ve written your story, take a creepy word or phrase that you’ve used as make it the title…

Of course, some of the scariest movies have titles that don’t suggest anything particularly scary. The Others, Alien, Rosemary’s Baby, Salem’s Lot, etc.

I can’t come up with titles until after I’ve written stories, but here are some sites you might consider looking to for prompt ideas:

Tax Reform.

On a more helpful note…I like the one word titles. Try something like “Never.”

Name it: Anxiety

Nothing in the world is scarier once you’ve experienced it… and it’s a word that directly relates to primal fear. The possibilities are truly limitless.
