simply scary

Via i09, Reddit users recently had a fun time submitting responses to the challenge "What's the best horror story you can come up with in two sentences?" Some of these are just amazing.

My favorite, by justAnotherMuffledVo:

I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed."


Other chillers:

I woke up to hear knocking on glass. At first, I though it was the window until I heard it come from the mirror again.

Don't be scared of the monsters, just look for them. Look to your left, to your right, under your bed, behind your dresser, in your closet—but never look up: she hates being seen.
