Not all houses are haunted....

Sometimes all it takes is just a single room.

Previously, we looked at color associations with fear in
Skittles! Taste the Rainbow of... Terror?

Recently though, I was inspired by another theme, ROOMS.

Not houses.
because haunted houses haven't been done to death or anything.
But ROOMS.

Bright, well-furnished rooms.
Dingy, dark rooms.
But all of them, unequivocally, creepy rooms.

I can only work in English and Japanese so those are the two cultures I will be working in.  So far my list, in no particular order, is as follows:


♡ Stephanie's Room (audio link) - who says you can never go home again?  creepily demented in a happy, cheerful sorta way. 

♡ The Occupant of the Room (audio link, text link) -  as if hotel rooms weren't filled with enough creepy, crawly unseen things.

♡ The Room in the Tower (audio link, text link) - dreams and "reality" mix to create a haunting, unsettling piece, aka. nightmare fodder.

♡ The Yellow Wallpaper (audio link, text link) - disturbing enough in the original text yet made even more so by the brilliant execution of the reader.

♡ The Red Room (audio link, text link) - rather mild mannered, but a classic.

♡ Number 13 (audio link, text link) - how can you not have a bunch of room-themed ghost stories without at least one reference to the magic number "13"?!

♡ The Other Wing (audio link, text link) - horror is sure to follow where children are involved.


If you have read the above or can suggest others in either language, we would love to hear of them!
