Brainstorming
Your scary story must have a setting, characters, and a descriptive plot, just like a full-length story, so do some brainstorming:

WHO - Who are the main characters? How are they described in the story?
WHAT - What is the scary story about?
WHEN - When does this story take place? What is the time of day, time of year or season, and is it set in the past present or future?
WHERE - Where does the story take place?
WHY - Why is the main character in danger? Is it resolved?

Slide 20 - Slide

Writing tips

1. Add sensory details to describe sights, sounds, smells, tastes, or touches.
2. Use strong verbs. For example, looked could be replaced with stared. 
Use a thesaurus to help you.
3. Do not be too specific; very often it is better to get the reader's imagination involved.
