Curated By You (My Story, My Escape)
Hello, Fright Fam and folks who think hearing creepy whispers at midnight is just " Wednesday energy"! You've stumbled into the ultimate fright fest, where the horrors are handcrafted, and the screams are curated—by YOU.
Welcome to "Curated by YOU", the challenge where you're not just a victim of the nightmare—you're the mastermind behind it. Your mission, should you dare accept it, is to create a Reading List (RL). You have to create a playbook for others to follow. Think of it as your personal horror mixtape: spine-chilling, goosebump-inducing, and perfectly curated.
What's the Mission?
Imagine you're living in a bone-chilling scenario (we've got plenty for you to pick from). Your only lifeline? A perfectly crafted RL to survive—or at least distract you while the shadows close in.
Your job is simple: pick a scenario, curate the ultimate RL to match the vibes, and share your creation in the comments below.
The Scenarios
We've cooked up some delightfully horrifying scenarios to get your creative juices (or screams) flowing:
1. You're part of a secret experiment that manipulates reality.
2. Your thoughts are no longer your own—someone or something is rewriting them.
3. You just found out your best friend isn't human.
4. You're stuck in a time loop where the same horrifying event keeps happening.
5. You're investigating a series of disappearances in your small town.
6. Your reflection has stopped copying you—and it looks annoyed.
7. You've been having the same dream every night, and the events are starting to happen in real life.
8. A carnival only appears at midnight—and it seems to be waiting for you.
9. A strange fog rolls in, and with it come whispers of secrets you thought only you knew.
10. You found an old family photo album. It contains pictures of you... from before you were born.
Pick a scenario, and let your inner curator rise to the challenge of building the perfect RL to match its terror.
The Rules of Fright (Follow Them... Or Else 👀)
–Your RL must include at least 10+ stories. We're not here for weak lists, okay? Bring your A-game.
–Stick to the Wattpad content guidelines—no summoning forbidden spirits—or moderators.
–Feel free to include your stories if they fit the theme. Don't force it. If your werewolf detective story doesn't fit the theme, let it sit this one out.
–Drop the RL link in the comments. Don't leave us hanging. This isn't a ghost hunt—we're not chasing your list down.
There's nothing better than getting spooked together. Stories can transport us into the heart of the unknown, where terror lurks and bravery (or screaming) is tested. This challenge is your chance not just to survive the stories but to own them—one creepy RL at a time.
So, grab your flashlight (and maybe a blanket to hide under) and start curating. Remember: the best RLs don't just scare—they haunt. Don't leave us hanging—create your list, share the link in the comments, go forth and bring the fright.
