Since this is coming out on a Thursday I thought I would make it real easy and simple. What would creep you out? Take something from real life, something average and make it scary or creepy.
As an example, a clown appearing out your door with balloons may be odd but that same clown appearing at your door at midnight is creepy x 10.
Bonus: What scene from any movie still gives you chills when you think about it?
Having been married only a short while, Lee and I went to see The Exorcist at a drive in. She couldn’t watch half of it, closing her eyes. I watched. We both heard everything. Scary. Later that night, we were living in her parent’s two decker on the 2nd floor, we tried to fall asleep. Now, you know the scene where the mom hears something in the attic and goes up to investigate? Scary, right. Well, we’re in bed, it’s about midnight, and suddenly we hear scratchy noises in the attic, then footsteps. OK, I’m not brave. Both of us put our heads under the covers.
Later, we found out her brother needed something in the attic and drove over at midnight to try and find it.
Thanks, Bobby!
So, to this day, a dark night with noises in the attic. Yup. That’s creepy.
