Sure. One of the notable azzyland scary text stories is about a girl who receives a mysterious package. When she opens it, there's a doll inside. But this doll isn't normal. At night, it moves around on its own. The girl starts having nightmares where the doll is chasing her, and she wakes up to find the doll in different positions in her room every morning. It's a really creepy story that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I'm not sure which one is the most well - known, but there might be a story where a character discovers an old photograph. In the photo, there are people with strange expressions. As the character delves deeper into the history of the photo, they uncover a terrifying mystery that dates back decades.

Sure. 'The Martian' by Andy Weir is a great choice for beginners. It has a simple and engaging story about an astronaut stranded on Mars. The science is explained in an accessible way.

I'd recommend his performance as Gollum in 'The Lord of the Rings'. His physicality and the voice he created for Gollum were extremely effective in making the character both pitiable and terrifying. The way he moved, hunched over and skulking, always with the ring on his mind, was really spooky.

Sure. From Japanese culture, there's 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'. In this story, the moon princess Kaguya is born from a bamboo stalk. While it may not seem scary at first, as the story progresses, her inevitable return to the moon is quite sad and a bit spooky. Her departure leaves her human family heartbroken, and the idea of her otherworldly origin and her departure to a place no one can reach has an element of the uncanny.

Here's one. A group of scouts were on a canoe trip. They decided to make camp on a small island in the middle of a large river. During the night, they heard a strange chanting coming from the other side of the river. It was a rhythmic sound that sent chills down their spines. They all huddled together in their tents, but the chanting continued for hours. In the morning, they were relieved to see that there was no sign of whoever or whatever had been making that noise. They quickly packed up and continued their journey, still shaken by the experience.

Sure. The story of Sharon Tate is really scary. She was a rising star in Hollywood. But in 1969, she was brutally murdered by the Manson Family. Her death shocked the world and became one of the most infamous and tragic events in Hollywood history. The way she was killed, along with her unborn child, was just so horrifying that it still sends chills down people's spines when they think about it.

Sure. There is a story of an urmaker named Henry. One day, he received an order for a very strange item. As he started working on it, he felt an uneasiness in the air. Every night, when he left the workshop, he heard strange whispers. When he finally completed the item, it glowed with an eerie light and made a sound that seemed to be a warning. Henry was so scared that he never took another strange order again.

Well, in a theater production, an actor had a makeup that was supposed to make him look like a possessed character. The makeup artist used some new products to create a really eerie look with sunken eyes and a pale complexion. During the performance, the actor started to feel like the makeup was tightening on his face more than it should. It became difficult for him to move his facial muscles properly, and he felt as if the character he was portraying was taking over him. It was a really scary experience for him, and it also added an unexpected level of authenticity to the performance.
