Ten Spooky Writing Prompts
As October is full of the creepy, eerie, and haunted, here are ten spooky writing prompts to get your creativity flowing.
Write a piece from the point of view of a Halloween character (ghost, vampire, zombie, witch, skeleton, etc.).
Start your piece with a chilling, spine-tingling scene.
Write a piece focused on you spending time with a horror writer or poet. The person can be dead or alive.
Write a letter to the monster that scares you the most. What will you say to them?
Write a piece that includes a Halloween animal (bat, spider, raven, crow, etc.).
Write a piece about an encounter you had with the paranormal.
Write a piece that includes one, two, or three Halloween items (pumpkin, scarecrow, witch’s hat, cauldron, witch’s broom, spellbook, etc.).
Write a piece set in a haunted asylum.
Write a piece about your encounter with a witch.
Listen to haunting, eerie classical music and write a piece that could incorporate it as background music.
Happy writing and I hope you enjoy Halloween!
