Name for a horror story

The Cursed Forest. People often associate forests with mystery and danger, and adding 'cursed' makes it even more terrifying. There could be all sorts of malevolent spirits and deadly traps hidden within.

You could also consider 'The Silent Graveyard'. Graveyards are already spooky places, and the idea of a silent one adds an extra layer of unease. There could be undead creatures rising from the graves, or a malevolent spirit that haunts those who dare to enter this place of the dead.

How about 'The Haunted Manor'? It gives the idea of a spooky, old building filled with ghosts and other terrifying things.

There was a horror story called " Legend of the Night ".

There is also the character of Letitia Wright's character in 'The Guest Room' in some horror anthologies. She is a black girl who experiences a series of spine - chilling events in the haunted guest room. In horror stories, black characters often bring an extra layer of cultural and historical context. For example, their experiences might be related to things like voodoo or other cultural elements that add to the horror factor. And this character's journey through the haunted room, with all the strange noises, apparitions, and the overall sense of dread, makes her an interesting and terrifying figure in the horror story.

Think of something creepy or mysterious. Like 'The Midnight Haunting' or 'The Shadowed Secret'.

Maybe 'The Darkness Within' could work. It suggests that the horror comes from deep within the characters or the situation, making it more psychological and creepy.

When a name is linked to an ancient curse. Suppose a name was used in a long - forgotten black magic ritual. That name then becomes a symbol of dread. It might be that whenever that name is spoken in the vicinity of the place where the ritual was done, strange and scary things start to occur. For instance, lights flickering, unexplained noises, or a feeling of being watched. And it doesn't matter who has the name, just the utterance of it brings the horror.

Shadows that Whisper. This name creates an eerie image of shadows having a life of their own and whispering things that are probably not good, setting a spooky mood for a horror story.

Midnight's Scream. It's simple yet effective. Midnight is often associated with the darkest and most mysterious time of the day, and a scream implies terror.
