1. The hook "The Hook"
Age Recommendation: 8 years and over

One dark night a young couple stopped on a lonely street to enjoy the night.

Car radios broadcast warnings about a fleeing criminal named "The Hook", so named because of the hook that replaced his right hand.


Out of fear, both the young couple left in a hurry when the car started shaking. When the two reached a nearby coffee shop, the girl saw a hook covered in blood hanging from the rear seat window of the car.

How to tell children's horror stories:

Create enough drama with the fact that the couple survived as they hurried away.
And the fact that the hook was left hanging, indicates that "The Hook" was nearby.
