Watch: Writing a scary story
Scary stories need to frighten the reader. To do this, you can use suspense, atmosphere and shocks!
Scary stories are supposed to be, you guessed it, scary.
Watch what happens to these ducks for example.
Hey, not so fast ducks.
When you write a scary story you need to frighten the reader.
Sometimes this will be through suspense and atmosphere, or through shocks, I said through shocks!
Perfect.
