horror stuff

[badbastion]

I'm trying to find things to get me back to doing creative stuff again. I was thinking that I should try the horror route, because that's my favorite of all genres of all time. But the problem is, I can never get any good ideas!

So flist, do you have any horror writing/art prompts? If you do, I might use them, I might not, depending on if something sparks in my head. Be as vague or specific as you like, though I may change things.

Also - what are you most afraid of? I'm just curious. Me, I'm scared of the dark, lol, because I imagine that there are things in it. I can't look out windows at night, too scary.

Also also - does anyone know of any good sites to get writing prompts? I don't even know where to start looking, other than the obvious, which would be google. But I'd like to use something that someone has already tried and likes.

Thanks a lot for any ideas you can give me, I really appreciate it!

Spiders. Suddenly losing my ability to communicate--what? It could happen! Realizing that the people around you might look like the people you know, but they're not. Running out of coffee, like, FOREVER!!! *shudder*

Really though, that coffee thing...

Seriously, hope you get good, block-breaking prompts! I miss your stuff! Posting with scary icon. Kinda scary. ;D

Oh gosh, coffee XD Thank you! I don't know why I don't have a scary icon :0 That people you know one sounds really cool.

No actual prompts, but I'm happy to discuss/brainstorm with you once you get one :-)

Cool cool! I think i have your email, don't I? If I don't, I'll PM you if I have any brainstorm-worthy ideas : ) Thank you!

Um, what about horror tropes? (This list runs from very vague to very specific. Maybe something?) Or, you know, I'm personally always down for some Boyking/DemonDean Wincest. :p

I'm not very good with horror ideas - the obvious sources would be looking at the horror novels to see what kind of things they write about, I suppose. Body horror might be a good visual one?

I'm most afraid of being attacked unaware, but by someone who is patient and just waiting. Like, if I were to come home and think the place is empty, walk all around, then suddenly find a guy standing in the bathroom waiting to attack me. Or even when going in my parking lot, as if someone could just be there next to my car to come at me. IDK, it's so weird.

I am creeped out by being watched. Either at a distance or incredibly close and hidden. By the idea of walking into your home and noticing little things being off. Like someone was there and didn't take anything, just was there and moved stuff around. Someone is intruding in your life and a gaslighting way.
