What are good names for characters in a horror story?

Some classic names could be 'Damien' which has a devilish connotation. 'Luna' can be used as it gives an eerie, otherworldly feel. And 'Victor' which might remind people of Frankenstein's creator.

For a more psychological horror - inspired name, 'Norman' can be great. It makes people think of Norman Bates from 'Psycho'. 'Scarlett' can be used in a horror context too. It gives a sense of danger and passion, like a femme fatale in a horror - tinged story. 'Balthazar' has an old - fashioned and somewhat sinister feel to it.

One could be 'Damien'. It has an air of mystery and evil associated with it, like in 'The Omen'. Another good name is 'Lilith'. In many horror and dark mythologies, Lilith represents a powerful and often menacing female figure. 'Cain' is also a great choice as it brings to mind the first murderer in the Bible, which adds a sense of ancient and primal horror.

Cursed Reverie. 'Cursed' is a very strong word for horror, indicating that there is some sort of malevolent force at work. 'Reverie' which means a state of being lost in thought, gives the sense that the characters are trapped in a nightmarish dream - like state.

Cursed Crypt. A crypt is already a place associated with death and the unknown, and adding 'cursed' makes it even more menacing. It could be a place where dark magic resides or where the dead don't rest.

Some names could be 'The Haunting Shadows', 'Eternal Nightmare', 'Cursed Abyss'.

Blackwood. It has a dark and mysterious feel, like an old, haunted forest. Just the name alone can evoke a sense of dread.

Ava. This name can be used to create a character who seems sweet and innocent at first but is actually involved in something much darker. In a horror story, Ava might be luring people into a trap set by a malevolent force.

Luna. It has an otherworldly feel, like she could be a character with a mysterious past in the horror story. Maybe she's a girl who can see ghosts and Luna gives that sense of a connection to the night and the unknown.

Ella. A simple name that can be made spooky. Ella could be a girl who is constantly followed by a malevolent shadow in the horror story. The name gives an impression of vulnerability, which is perfect for a horror character.
