Comedy Horror Ideas for Authors or for Fun (ePub)

DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS: Τhis book comprises 52 one-page prompts, serving as springboards for other writers' creativity. This book is not a collection of short stories. For example:

1. Miscommunication with the Supernatural:

Idea: Characters misunderstand or misinterpret messages from ghosts, spirits, or other supernatural entities.

Writing Approach: Play with ambiguous signs or cryptic messages that lead characters to humorous and misguided actions.

A séance is held, and the participants hear ghostly moans and groans. They interpret the messages as warnings about imminent danger, when in reality the ghost is just complaining about the bad WiFi signal in the afterlife.

2. Bumbling Protagonists:

Idea: Main characters are inept or clumsy in dealing with supernatural or horror situations.

Writing Approach: Infuse physical and situational comedy into their attempts to navigate frightening scenarios, making their mistakes both funny and endearing.

Ooh, a cast of lovable but bumbling protagonists would be a riot in a horror comedy. Here are some examples:

The character who trips over nothing in the midst of a chase scene, giving the monster enough time to escape.

The one who always trips over their own feet while running away, somehow managing to never get caught.

The bumbling detective who constantly loses their clues and jumps to wrong conclusions.
