One horror story is about a vampire larp where a player got too into character. He started stalking other players in the shadows during the game, even when they were trying to take a break. It was really creepy as he would suddenly appear behind them, whispering things like a real vampire. This made some players feel very uncomfortable.
In a horror - themed larp set in an old asylum, the organizers had set up some really creepy rooms. However, they didn't secure one of the old cabinets well enough. During the larp, a player accidentally knocked it over while running from an 'evil spirit' (another player). The cabinet made a huge crashing noise and narrowly missed the player. It was a very dangerous and terrifying moment for everyone there.
For me, it's when the 'vampire' players suddenly jump out from unexpected places. It gives a real shock. Just like in one larp where a vampire leaped from behind a tree when we least expected it.
At a larp event, there was a scenario where characters had to find a hidden treasure. One player was so convinced that the treasure was under a particular tree. He started digging frantically. Turns out, he was wrong, but he ended up with a big hole and dirt all over himself. The way he was so determined and then disappointed was really funny.
One horror story is about a larp game in a spooky old mansion. The players were supposed to be in character as ghosts and hunters. But then, some of the props started moving on their own. It turned out that the wind was blowing through some loose floorboards and making things seem scarier than planned.
There was a larp set in an old, abandoned asylum. In this larp, the players were patients. Strange things started to happen. Lights would flicker on and off, and cold drafts would blow through the halls. One player reported seeing a shadowy figure at the end of the corridor. It was really a nerve - wracking experience for everyone involved.
One common element is unexpected betrayals. Just like in the story I mentioned before where a seemingly friendly character turns out to be a threat. Another is equipment malfunctions that add to the horror, such as faulty special effects or broken props. For example, a fake weapon breaking and causing an injury can be very scary.
There was a larp game in an abandoned mine. The players were exploring the mine as treasure hunters being haunted by the ghosts of dead miners. During the game, there was a sudden cave - in sound effect. But it turned out that part of the mine was actually unstable. Everyone had to evacuate in a hurry. It was terrifying as they thought it was just part of the game at first.
One interesting fanfiction could be a story that expands on the relationships formed during a larp. For example, if there were two characters who had an alliance in the larp, the fanfiction could explore their backstories and how their alliance deepens over time. Another could be a fanfiction that takes a side quest from a larp and turns it into a full - blown adventure, with new challenges and characters added. A third type might be a fanfiction that focuses on the magic system in a larp, explaining it in more detail and showing how it affects the world and the characters in ways not fully explored in the original larp.
There was a case where a person had an allergic reaction to the substances used in the vampire facial. Their face became extremely itchy and developed hives. It turned out that they were allergic to some of the components in the plasma that was being injected back into their skin. This not only made their skin look bad but also caused a great deal of discomfort.
One classic vampire horror story is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. It introduced the iconic Count Dracula. Another is 'Carmilla' which was an early vampire story with a female vampire. And 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice also stands out, exploring the complex emotions and existence of vampires.
