Mysterious and spooky
Below meme will contain horror concepts, triggers, and terrible stereotypes. Please click with caution.
It looms out of the woods, tall and elegant, with sweeping Gothic lines. An inheritance, or a gift, or a purchase; this house should be a blessing, but instead it's a curse.
This house knows what you fear.
1. Stranded. Your car broke down, or your girlfriend sped away. There's only one place around. It's a little creepy, but it's your only option.
2. Moving in. This is your new place! It's not so bad, and it was a great value for the square footage. Your new life is gonna be great!
3. Dare. It wasn't your idea, but you were dared to come in here by a friend. All you have to do is get inside, and then get out again.
4. The Seer. You knew there was something terrible that was going to happen here. Hopefully they listen to your warning.
5. The Native. You've lived in this house for so long you can't remember anything else. Maybe the curse hasn't touched you; maybe you are the curse. Somewhat related to:
6. The Monster. The big bad guy, no matter what form that might take.
7. The Expert. Exterminator, exorcist, priest, or vampire hunter, you're the guy they call to come clear out places like this.
8. Other. Feel free to come up with others!
1. Creepy crawlies. A swarm of spiders hatches from a sac in the wall; you find the basement is full of snakes; you awaken each morning with rat bites on your skin; the birds watch you, wherever you go. Some sort of creature is plaguing this house, and you have to fight it to get free.
2. Ghosts. There was a horrific murder committed here in the past, a crime of passion from a jealous lover. Be careful, or you'll find yourself possessed, and acting out history all over again. -- Or maybe you're the ghost, and you never even knew you'd died.
3. The Asylum. A long time ago, tortured souls were kept here. The halls still remember their torment -- and perhaps the ghosts of the tortured past will reach from those walls, and try to pull you back in.
4. A Stalker. The house would be perfect -- except for that creepy groundskeeper. Looks like he has a fondness for pruning shears, and he doesn't want anyone to take this place away from him. How many will he kill before you escape?
5. Satan's touch. This is a den of old witches, people who sold their soul to the Devil and who sacrificed children in their rituals. It's said that the last little girl they killed still wanders here, and that she will cast your soul to hell in order to stay.
6. Possession. A demon has taken over your skin. There's only one chance to save you: an exorcism.
7. Monsters. There's something loose in the woods, a product of science or magic gone terribly wrong. Defeat it, and maybe you'll be able to live in peace.
8. Zombies. The house has layers of defense, but eventually you may be overwhelmed.
9. Vampires. A very, very old creature lives in this house. A creature perhaps looking for a mortal companion to join them…
10. Transformation. Your bones are changing, your limbs growing, your skin changing. Something about this place is making you into a monster, and you may be beyond saving.
