9 Of The Most Terrifying Two Sentence Horror Stories Ever Told

“What are the best two-sentence horror stories you can come up with?” Asked one Redditor on the popular subreddit r/AskReddit.

The result of that question leads to some incredibly terrifying and clever horror stories that John Carpenter himself would be jealous of. It’s crazy how just two simple sentences can send chills down your spine.

It’s not always the pictures on the internet or the movies we see on television that make us the most afraid. Oh no, it’s the things we read and our imagination that make it even more real.

You’re probably going to want to keep the lights on for these horror stories, oh, and good luck sleeping tonight.
