2-Sentence Horror Story Contest

Attention all you goblins and ghouls!

We’re introducing a creepy contest just in time for spooky season! Today is the first day of our 2-Sentence Horror Story contest! Everyone enjoys reading horror books around Halloween, so why not try writing one? Give the judges a fright when they read your spine-tingling story. These 2-sentence stories are meant to be eerie and unsettling, so try your hand at horror.

  • Entries must be submitted in the black cauldron in the lobby.
  • You may submit multiple stories, but can only win once.
  • You must be 16 and up to enter.
  • Stories that don’t follow the 2-sentence rule will be disqualified.
