Short Horror Stories

Clowns

Andrew smiles as he looks back at his parents standing there, waiting for him to get done with the haunted house. He had been standing in line for about an hour. There were a lot of kids in this line, all ready to go see the scary clowns and crazy people pop up and scare you. He was next in line though, almost getting nervous. "Welcome to the Clown House" The man at front smiled, then released a gruesome laugh. Andrew walked in, nervous as hell. People jumped up from random places, screaming loudly. This caused Andrew to scream then follow with a laugh. The haunted house was fun, and when he got out his parents gave him a round of applause, for that was the first haunted house he went through by himself. The rest of the day was fun, but not long after, it was time to go home. Later that night as Andrew was laying in bed, he felt like he was being watched. Getting creeped out from the eerie presence in the room, he gets up and walks to the bathroom. He turns the light on, closes the door, and uses the restroom. He looks around at the tan blanks walls, nothing all that interesting to him. Andrew flushes the toilet and walks to the bathroom door, trying to open it. His eyes widen as he realizes the door won't budge. The lights flick off and he hears a loud banging noise from the big, dark, mirror. He approaches the intimidating mirror, trying to see what was causing that ruckus. The lights flicker on and off, just enough so that Andrew can see the terrifying clown standing in the mirror. The clown had blood flowing out of his eyes, bright white sharp teeth, and a giant red nose. Andrew screams as loud as he can, but the clown didn't like this. The clown reaches out of the mirror and pulls Andrew in, taking a huge chunk out of his neck with a bite from his frightening teeth.
