There are many reasons why one might enjoy a good horror story. One, for example, is the adrenaline rush after being scared. The other is that some of us like to experience overwhelming, complex emotions. It also helps that the scary stories aren't happening to you, so you can still feel relatively safe while experiencing them.
And bigger doesn't always mean better, especially when it comes to scary stuff. Sometimes, it’s the small things or short scary stories that are the most terrifying, like an unexpected spider in the bathtub, a creaking floorboard in the dead of night, or a lizard on the wall staring right at you! Those are the real-life short horror stories that give us an adrenaline rush.
Two-Sentence Horror Stories: Reddit Collection
The classic of the horror genre is, of course, the two-sentence scary stories. So when a now-deleted Reddit user asked others, “What is the best short horror story you can come up with in two sentences?” the answers scared everyone to death. You might want to keep the lights on for this one!
From short scary stories about being buried alive to working the night shift alone (or not...?), this compilation of creepy stories definitely has it all. And if you are a fan of two-sentence horror stories, we promise this post will leave you scared and mindless. Let’s dig in!

I really dont understand even if a damn booo-hoooo is watching my god damn house why should I be scared of ghostly presence. I should dial 911 and tell the officer that a creepy prick is staring at ma house for a couple of long hours without even blinking or winking. Now the officer will either beat the crap out of'em or they would simply take them in custody for long treatment. Thats how this loads of horseshit craps will end..

My daughter told me she had a nightmare about a man with no face. I was about to tell her everything was okay, but I didn't have a mouth to do so. My mother told me she loved seeing my kids.

I was just about to fall asleep when I heard foot steps coming towards my bed. I lived alone so when I realized what was happening I quickly pretend to be asleep. Inside my head I whispered a quick prayer. Then I opened my eyes just a crack that looked like nothing and I saw him a man writing something on my wall with big letters and then watched him slowly slip beneath my bed. I almost had a heart attack when I read the words, but it didn't matter a knife was already coming from under my bed cutting my flesh below my chin. It said "I know your awake." Usually that is the end of a horror stories but more is to come- She silently gasped in denial still pretending to be asleep so the man wouldn't notice and hopefully go away. But it actually made thing worst, when the man seemed to believe her, he crawled out from under the bed and, then pulled her head up so he could be 100% sure she was awake. she realized that if she kept pretending her dead husband would notice. He came for revenge.

I wasn’t too worried about burglars breaking & entering because of my dog. That is, until I heard a whistle outside my window from the shadowy figure looking inside, then she stopped barking & laid down calmly.

I was just about to fall asleep when I heard foot steps coming towards my bed. I lived alone so when I realized what was happening I quickly pretend to be asleep. Inside my head I whispered a quick prayer. Then I opened my eyes just a crack that looked like nothing and I saw him a man writing something on my wall with big letters and then watched him slowly slip beneath my bed. I almost had a heart attack when I read the words, but it didn't matter a knife was already coming from under my bed cutting my flesh below my chin. It said "I know your awake." Usually that is the end of a horror stories but more is to come- She silently gasped in denial still pretending to be asleep so the man wouldn't notice and hopefully go away. But it actually made thing worst, when the man seemed to believe her, he crawled out from under the bed and, then pulled her head up so he could be 100% sure she was awake. she realized that if she kept pretending her dead husband would notice. He came for revenge.

All of the paint bottles were relabled to the different types and when they were canned. Their scent and the beautiful crimson all of them left behind on the canvas were what compelled me to keep painting, no matter how much I miss the neighbors.

The paint bottles were all red, though many were labled other colors. The scent of the blood in the capsules compelled me to keep painting.

it is normal to hear scratching and whining when you have a childhood pet.but when you are all grown up and have no pets and no roommates it is much scarier from the inside of the apartment.

Premature burial was a real concern when medical science couldn't always tell between death and a deep coma. The were all sorts of devices, bells that could be rung by a pully and so forth, to let someone alert someone that they were still alive. Of course, if no one was around to hear the bell....

Around night time, the security guard comes to the last block last classroom to lock the doors properly, no one else was in school that time. He saw a shadow entering the classroom, lights were then on. He went to check, however, the lights flickered off and when he was at the door, there was completely no one...(my story)
