The Top Five Scary Stories Of All Time

It is Halloween. Sam Hain’s day. So, I thought I would put down some thoughts about scary stories. These are the camp fire stories. The ones you tell after dark to scare yourselves. It’s important when you tell these stories to pretend they’re real. So you should always say, “this is a true story.” And also, “this happened to a friend of mine.” In urban mythology, this is called an “FOF” story. Or, friend of a friend. I think it adds more creedence than just saying it was you—-because that’s easily disproven. But when it’s your friend, as opposed to some person, that makes it scarier. Also, holding a flashlight up to your face doesn’t hurt.

In my opinion, here they are:

#1 Aren’t You Glad You Didn’t Turn On The Lights?
#2 High Beams
#3 Thump Thump Drag(it’s the very last one on this page)
#4 The Call Is Coming From Inside The House
Actually a movie! But still a great story.
#5 None Of Your Damn Business
(I include this one just because it’s so silly. I wrote a version of it today for Huck Slim here)

Dear five readers,

What are YOUR favorite ones?

    I can not BELIEVE you didn’t include The Mangler II.

  2. Nate

    The Mangler II would be in my list of top five scary loser movies but it’s not a scary story! The movie in this list is often told as a scary story by itself!

  3. hey stranger how was your day? i ike scar stories and my hands are always bleeding so please write a scary story about that!!!!!!!

  4. can you tell more scary story than that as in scary that you will have a phobia

    Sami, here’s a list of things I’m scared of and then u might not think you have a lot of fears

    Spiders
    Dark
    Silence
    Looking out of windows at night
    Dying
    Doors Creaking
    Most Snakes
    Not being able to see
    Being held down
    Small Spaces
    Clowns
    Dolls with button eyes
    And a few more that I can’t be bothered to number

    Sami I could write a scary story totally regardless if it was scary or not and + these arent his stories they were published by many authors\writers just in different versions

    Sami:
    I am twelve years old, have moved to 16 different schools since I was young, so my education is sketchy. I’ve written a 400 paged, published book, and you are an insult to SMART young people everywhere. These stories are older,, AND scary. Wanna compete? Why don’t you hire Stephen King as your babysitter? No one cares about your consensus, whining, unintelligible fool.

  11. Stanger

    No one cares Sami, shut up.
