The Best of R/Two Sentence Horror (teaser)

My absolute favourite is this one by u/ForgottenWell

*"This tastes like almonds, " my ill-mannered wife, mouth full of cake, blurted out as she ate her last meal.

"That would be the almond extract, " I responded as I pulled the pin from the grenade and slid it across the floor.*

My favorite two sentence horror story is as follows: "Ah, I'm glad I'm finally alone in my room" I said to myself.

"No you're not" said Knife Guy.

please don't overlook the 3rd reading, in which the mother prays regularly, but like prays by just repeating "oh my god" over and over

The bridge story is hilarious because it implies that his son only jumped off the bridge to spite his dad for using that specific analogy so much.

[Trunks]

The problem with two sentance horror is its structure fundamentally begs to be framed as a setup and a punchline which even when executed well still gives off the feeling that its more of a joke than a horror story

The most horrific story I've ever heard...

I checked the iconic Little Joel channel
"This channel has been deleted."

[kylewollman]

I excitedly clicked on the new Little Joel video.





It was a promotion for his Patreon.

My brain went to “dumb kid somehow drank/tasted the raccoon’s urine and now doesn’t trust any yellow liquid”. It’s horrible but at least it makes a little sense.

I always thought that two sentence horror stories were just harmless fun.






That is until the writers discovered run on sentences, parentheticals, and quotations.

"my little brother refused to drink the lemonade I made for him today. I don't think he's forgiven me yet for letting that racoon bite him last month" is a marginally better version of that first story, in that the original version is basically one-sentence horror with an extra sentence in the front. But yeah still pretty bad.

It's so nice of lil joel to give exposure to small creators.

[Corbeau_Blanc]

My wife misses me...




But her aim is getting better!!

Boy, I remember when I used to write 2 sentence horror stories. Actually, I barely remember most of them. I do remember one idea I had but not the exact execution, I think it went like this:

“I thought I saw a monster in my room, but when I turned on the lights, it was just a pile of clothes.
When I turned the lights back off, it was closer.”

My favorite, most profound, two sentence horror story is as follows:

“It’s only 5 nights it shouldnt be that hard” I said to myself.
That was when i realized freddy Fazbore was in the room.

[LevantWasTaken]

My favourite one:

"I hate tomatoes, " I muttered to myself as I got on the bus

Peering out the window, I watched in horror as we were approaching the tomato factory

The thing about two sentence horror is that you could technically just keep writing as long as you wanted by making a run-on sentence, so in practice you just end up with a lot of run-on sentence horror that goes on for significantly longer than the average two sentences, also a lot of them sneak extra sentences into their sentences by quoting.

Small Joel explains why obviously bad art is obviously bad is my favorite genre of Little Joel video

[joshuafreeman]

The best part of two sentence horror stories is how there’s so many stories that are clearly stupid jokes, and so many that are genuinely terrible and just as stupid as the jokes

I frequent this subreddit and take 10000 psychic damage every time because i never learn, there's one user who writes stuff based on folklore that drives me to madness because 90% of the time its just a wikipedia-esque description of the myth or monster theyre using. The one that lives in my head rent free is "my friends were always confused why, despite my vast wealth, i was terrified of large women carrying baskets" what does that MEAN what is the word "despite" doing there those are not two logical contradictions WHAT ARE YOU TALKING

[crenfick]

My favorite will always be:

I wasn't scared of long hallways. That wasn't until I met the hallway man.
