Scary Stories

There are several different elements that could make a story or a movie scary. These elements are suspense, appearance, actions, how the character acts, and the plot of the story. Suspense is the feeling of uncertainty, which is like a mystery. This could give the audience a scary feeling of what is going to happen. The appearance is what the setting or the character looks like physically. Take a monster or a ghost or example, both of those things looks scary with their appearance. The way a setting could be scary is what feeling it gives you when you looked at it. If the setting is in a dark cave, with blood and skeletons everywhere. It may gives you a scary feeling towards the setting. Actions may give you a scary feeling. If a character chops down a person with a butter knife, it may be quite scary to watch. That is how actions can be scary. The last thing is how a character acts. Characters can act as monsters, freaks, or other scary things. Not only the appearance is scary, in order for a story or a movie to be scary, the character has to act scary too. A plot of a story could be the most important element in order to make a movie or story scary. All scary movies and stories has a scary plot, not just scary characters and settings. The plot can control most of the reactions of the audience.
