#horror plot

plot where muse a is being haunted by a ghost, muse b, who is their ex, and while the relationship was fine when muse b was alive, now that they've become a ghost, and muse a is trying to move on with their life, things have gotten a little more toxic.

bonus points for: - only muse a can see muse b and interact with them (including possibly physically, perhaps there's some tactile interaction) - muse b is always there to make snide and snarky comments when muse a is at work or going out with friends or even potentially on dates - moments of existential pain when muse b opens up about feeling lonely and isolated.

       Someone close to Muse A has vanished - their sibling, their partner, parent, friend, anything goes - and nobody but Muse A cares to figure out what happened. Nobody takes them seriously. Cue Muse B: The local baddie who has something to do with the disappearance of their loved one, whether they were directly involved or just know something. Muse A doesn't know that their loved one left a clue behind for them to put the puzzle pieces together and in order to not incriminate themselves and destroy the evidence of their involvement, Muse B tries to get close to Muse A.

I love horror so here is a list of some horror settings I would love to write in:

*disclaimer: many were inspired by movies, books, mangas, tv shows.

**also, feel free to reblog and add more, I’d always love more ideas for horror settings!

Stuck in a haunted place:

Could be a hotel they were unaware was haunted.

Could have moved in a new house/apartment that was haunted.

Rented a cabin in the woods that turned out to be haunted.

Went exploring a place they knew was haunted.

Inherited a place and it turned out to be haunted.

Apocalypse things leading to lawless situations:

Zombie apocalypse.

Post-nuclear war setting.

Environmental catastrophes.

An unknown virus wiped off most of the population.

Monster related:

An alien invasion.

Abducted by aliens.

Androids taking over.

Stuck in a forest with a monster hunting them(werewolf, wendigo, Bigfoot, anything really).

Haunted by possessed dolls.

Something similar to Jurassic Park.

Slasher related:

Sorority/fraternity being targeted by a serial killer.

Stumble in a small village and are hunted one by one.

A group of friends in any setting.

This can literally comes in any setting and I need it, maybe as a mumu.

Not really slasher, but something like the movie Us, when doppelgangers are trying to take over.

Misc situations:

Crashed/stranded on an island, and there’s something killing people off(animals, a tribe, some sort of monsters...).

I once had a roleplay where people were locked in an eerie basement and to escape, they had to go up the floors above them and they were filled with creatures that would turn into their worst nightmares. And even if it flopped, I still want that.
