In the spirit of helping writers find those seeds, here we offer 101 originally conceived and hilarious - or at the very least, slightly humorous - story prompts that you can use as inspiration for your next horror story. They can come from a single visual that entices the creative mind - a seed that continues to grow and grow until the writer is forced to finally put it to paper or screen. They can come from a scene or moment in a film that wasn’t fully explored. We get our ideas from a plethora of sources - news headlines, novels, television shows, movies, our lives, our fears, our phobias, etc.
Most writers are often asked, “Where do you get your ideas from?” A majority of the time, writers find it difficult to answer that question. Still got something you want to pitch?
