I woke up to find a clown statue in my room. In the morning, it was a foot closer to my bed. See, it's funny in a horror - way because the unexpected and creepy elements are presented so simply.
My phone rang in the middle of the night. It was my number calling me. It's humorous horror as it plays on the fear of the unknown and self - reflection in a very short and sharp way.
One: I woke up to find a handprint on my window. It was on the inside. Another: I heard my name whispered in the dark. But I live alone.
I heard a baby crying in the attic. I live in an apartment. This is funny horror as it quickly sets up a spooky and illogical situation.
Story 1: I woke up to a cold hand on my face. When I turned on the light, no one was there.
I heard a baby crying in the attic. When I went up, I saw my old doll with a knife in its hand.
One story could be: 'I woke up to a strange noise in the attic. When I went to check, a pair of glowing eyes stared back at me.'
Here's another: 'The old doll in the attic blinked. I ran out and never went back.' This creates a sense of unease with the simple and unexpected actions. The blinking of the doll, which is an inanimate object, is very creepy.
I saw a figure at the end of the hall. As I blinked, it vanished, leaving only a chill.
I woke up to a cold hand on my shoulder. When I turned, no one was there.
She heard a knock at the door. Opening it, she saw her own face staring back at her with empty eyes.
The old doll in the attic blinked. Now it's sitting on my bed.
