We have a total of 16 for this round.
1. Sometimes, after coming home from a long journey, you feel almost like a stranger in a place you once found familiar. Alex Shepherd, of course, found out from experience. A young soldier, coming home from service! Only to discover just how much things had changed. I call this one…
“Alex Theme (Machine Head Mix)”.
Prompt: Action Horror | Additional TW: N/A
2. Fun fact for you all: did you know the most burglarized state is New Mexico? I went there once, and took a wrong turn at Albuquerque. Anyways, this is the tale of a young man who starts a debt he cannot pay, and he learns– the hard way– that you should always pay your debts. This is the tale of "
Alpha Desperation March".
Prompt: Home Invasion | Additional TW: N/A
3.What do you see when you look into the deep? Sometimes, I see fish. Waves. People I’ve buried. And, of course, the creatures that lurk in the deepest depths. The water monster gets hungry sometimes, you know? This tale is called… "
Black Eyes."
Prompt: Cryptids | Additional TW: N/A
4. Speaking of the deep! Did you know that from 2019 to 2022, a total of 807 boats sunk in the ocean? Now, have you ever been on a ship? Have you heard
their songs? Enchanting, isn’t it? But be warned. It may be best that you avoid… the "
Craving."
Prompt: Aquatic Horrors | Additional TW: Illustrated artistic nudity in album art (tasteful, but warning to be on the safe side), mind manipulation themes
5. Ah, lucid dreaming! What a gift. I had a chase dream recently, but I remembered I was dreaming and I caught up to them. I was so sad when I woke up. But alas. Maybe you and your friends can become… "
Dream Warriors."
Prompt: Slasher Horror | Additional TW: N/A
6. Two things that are always stressful: family reunions and new jobs. I think the protagonist of our tale, Mike, would agree. Working at his new technician job, learning the dark secrets of his family? And those robots! Well, I think we can all agree. Despite everything, one skill that always helps with a new job is learning… “
How to Pretend.”
Prompt: Automatonophobia | Additional TW: N/A
7. They say that the past always haunts. Mine does. I would forget my exes, but they keep coming back after I bury them! Anyways, the heroine of our tale is Anya, a young woman who is the sole survivor of a tragedy. However, there are still a few things watching her, waiting to make their move. Can she survive even… “
In the Dark of the Night”? Let’s find out!
Prompt: Kid-Friendly Horror | Additional TW: N/A
8. Man, who likes public transportation? I know I don’t. But maybe you can relate to the protagonist of our tale. A young woman, trying to regain the words she lost, and hitching a ride on the local train. Unfortunately, she comes up with a unique feeling of dread. Can you make it through… the “
Lagtrain”?
Prompt: Existential Horror | Additional TW: N/A
9. They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I think the protagonist of our tale learned that the hard way. He abandoned his girlfriend when she needed him most, and now… he will face the wrath of…. the “
Macabre Rotting Girl.”
Prompt: Zombies | Additional TW: Animated bloody violence in music video
10. You don’t really get to know someone until you date them. Sometimes, they take you by surprise! Our story is about a young werewolf, looking for a bite of love. But, the woman he falls for turns out to have a bit of a dark side of her own. But hey, it happens, right? This is the story of… “
Me and Mr. Wolf.”
Prompt: Yandere/Stalker | Additional TW: Animated bloody violence in music video
11. Plenty of creatures get their night. Vampires have theirs, witches have theirs, and ghouls have theirs. And I, Kamilla, get my night. I usually sit at home, eating. What am I eating? You don’t want to know. But you don’t want it to be
their night. Who are they? The creatures who come out on a full moon. Get ready for… the “
Night of the Werewolves”! Awoooooo!
Prompt: Werewolves | Additional TW: N/A
12. Have you ever heard of the word ‘bloodsucking’? Well, it refers to some of my old jobs, that’s for certain! But no, today’s story is about literal bloodsuckers. Sometimes, they suck other things, like energy! But come, let them show you how they stay alive. This is their… “
Poetry of the Poisoned.”
Prompt: Vampires | Additional TW: This a four-part song that lasts a total of nine minutes. The lyrics also allude to the classical incubus mythos, which may be an SA TW.
13. Now, what do you think of when you think of the future? I think of robots, AI, the impending end of the world! But in today’s story we get a classic from the cyberpunk genre. Our story takes place in the city of Rengkok, in the year 2091. Our silent protagonist is lead to commit the assassination of a lifetime. Unfortunately, he finds himself in too deep. But worry not! He will, in a sense… “
Rise.”
Prompt: Sci-Fi Horror | Additional TW: Police brutality imagery in video
14. Ah, school clubs. Always full of drama. I think the protagonists of our tale would agree. A typical literature club! Four girls, all devoting themselves to literary analysis and poetry. Until, one day, a new member joins. Then, they are forced to not only confront their inner demons, but the nature of their reality. This one is called… “
Sayo-nara.”
Prompt: Psychological Horror | Additional TW: Song is infamous for playing over a depiction of suicide. Video and song by itself is fine, but comments section may not be.
15. What is happiness? Is it friendship? Love? A good nap? Or is it something forced upon? The heroine of our tale has to ask these questions. A spokesperson for a major movement, she takes the time to reflect. But ah! Who has time to reflect? “
This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee”!
Prompt: Cults | Additional TW: Lyrics include mentions of brutal executions
16. How far would you be willing to go for something to believe in? If you’re dead in the eyes of your friends, would you have someone to pick you back up? Our protagonist wonders, but soon he breaks the boundaries of what is correct, and finds himself in a world of his own. This is called… “
Watercolour.”
Prompt: Mad Science | Additional TW: N/A
