What are some underused themes and creatures for horror? You guys seem pretty good a sussing out overused shit and all.
Will try and find shit to post till the magic begins.
You have had a strange feeling for a few days now. Today you’ve been feeling very energetic and tired at the same time. You sit, exhausted and full of energy, at your desk. Your arm has been itching. It’s killing you now. You look at your forearm and see it for the first time. Something is moving under your skin. It is shifting around. Your muscle spasms and you realize there are dozens moving toward the surface.
You open your eyes to complete darkness. The last thing you remember is the dog running out into the road, the brightness of the day light, and your car headed off the road. As your head clears you realize you are hanging upside down. Your feet and legs are completely mobilized. You can hear something breathing in the room.
At 3 am you wake up out of a very sound sleep. You hear the ice cream truck outside of your house. And you realize, the sound that woke you up, was the sound of your 4 year old daughter, letting the screen down slam, as she left the house.
The power goes out in the apartment complex that used to be a factory warehouse. The only thing illuminating thin lines in the halls are red exit signs. The doors are locked from the outside and as the tenants begin to panic. The distant sound of machinery whirring to life begins.
Your house has three times been immaculately cleaned while you were gone.Small amounts of food have been removed from your fridge. You call the police and they come but laugh it off. You find a threatening hand written letter in gaelic the next day.
There's not nearly enough evil psychonaut literature.
Like, what if "The Illuminatus!" trilogy was from the 'bad' guys' perspective instead?

well hello there senpai
You reply to a craigslist job listing to help an old widow clean out her house. She goes on and on about her singing career throughout your efforts. Find a box of old vinyls that play out like audio snuff recordings after a duet or two with a female vocalist. The widow tells you you have a nice voice.

Interesting.
I'll have to find and read this.
Spinochordodes tellinii, a real parasitic worm that can cause the grasshoppers it infects to commit suicide, evolves to the point where it can infect humans. Across the country, news headlines report thousands of suicides via drowning.
A neurologist offers an unusual service. Anyone who feels their life has been dull or uneventful can come to him and buy exciting and unique memories. After the business becomes phenomenally popular, a patient makes a startling discovery: his new memories were stolen from other patients.
In the future, everyone has a mind scanner implanted in their brains at birth. The instant someone dies, their brain is scanned and their mind is uploaded to the Virtual World. If you want to visit a dead relative, all you have to do is go online.
