For many years now, the laurels of Eduard Uspensky have haunted me. His Scary Tale for Fearless Schoolchildren once terrified me. Even then, these simple horror stories were much scarier than any horror films.
I don't know what it is in these scary bedtime stories. Maybe the atmosphere? After all, a horror story is told at night, by the light of a lantern or around a fire, preferably somewhere far from civilization, when you feel a large and unknown world with every nerve, and this unknown frightens the most. Or maybe the horror of the horror story is that the hero knows what is happening (he is warned more than once), but still does it his own way.
A cool thing is a horror story, and in vain we threw it out of our lives. At the very least, I do not want this simple and unique genre of literature to disappear from the lives of children.
That is why I am opening a new section - “Scary Stories (Scary Stories for the Night)”, where I will try to recreate the amazing world that “Scary Stories” opened to me.
Horror stories - scary bedtime stories
Man with black face (horror story)
Once upon a time there was a girl. She lived with her dad and little brother. She didn't have a mother because her mother died. The girl was very bored without her mother.
When dad left for work, he warned the girl:
“Don’t open the door for anyone, especially a person with a black face.”
And then one day, when dad was at work, there was a knock on the door. The girl did not listen to her dad and opened the door. A man with a blue face stood on the threshold. And he said:
- Girl, I can return your mother, but for this you have to give me your brother.
The next day a man with a red face came to the girl:
- Girl, I can bring your mom back, but for this I will take your dad.
The girl refused and closed the door.
When dad returned from work, the girl told him that a man with a blue face came, and then a man with a red face. Dad got very angry and told the girl never to open the door to anyone again.
But the next day, when dad left, there was a knock on the door again. The girl looked through the peephole on the door and saw a man with a black face.
“Girl,” a man with a black face said from behind the door, “I can return your mom, but I won’t take away your brother or dad.”
The girl was happy and opened the door.
A man with a black face came in and said:
- But I'll take you.
When dad returned home, he saw an open door and a large black spot on the floor. But the girl and brother were not there. A man with a black face deceived the girl and took her brother with her.
The girl's father took out kerosene, poured it on the black spot and set it on fire. The spot immediately burst into black flame and screams were heard.
When the whole house burned down, the girl’s father bought a train ticket and left for another city forever.
Red doll (horror story)
One girl's grandmother died.
Before her death, she told the girl:
- Never play with the red doll that lies in the attic.
But the girl did not listen to her grandmother, took a red doll from the attic and began to play with it.
In the evening, my mother returned from work without one arm.
“Girl,” said mom, “never play with that doll again.”
The girl said that she would not take the red doll again.
But the next day she took the doll to play again.
In the evening, my mother returned without two arms. And again she told the girl not to play with the red doll anymore.
But when her mother went to work, the girl took the red doll again. And that day my mother did not return from work at all.
And at night, when the girl fell asleep, two red hands came down from the attic and strangled the girl.
Toy (horror story)
One little boy went with his mother to the store and saw a toy dog there. The toy was small, but very beautiful - just like a real one, and the boy really wanted a dog, so he persuaded his mother to buy him this toy.
He played with the dog all day, and even went to bed with her.
At night, the mother heard screams, and when she ran into the boy’s room, he was all bitten, but there was no one else in the room except him.
The boy was taken to the hospital.
The next night, someone bit the boy's sister. When asked if she had seen anyone, the sister said it was a very large dog. But there was no dog in the house, and the doors and windows were all closed.
Even the police came, but they didn’t find anything.
The sister was also taken to the hospital.
The next night, the boy's mother took a large stick and hid in the closet. Late at night, she heard someone opening the door to her room. The boy's mother opened the door and saw a huge dog. It was the same toy dog that she bought for the boy. Only now she had become much, much larger, so much so that she could barely squeeze through the doorway. The dog also saw the boy’s mother and rushed to her. But mom managed to close the closet door.
In the morning, the mother began to search and found a toy dog in the boy’s room.
Mom took the toy and burned it. The toy dog immediately burst into flames and burned instantly. All that was left of it was gray ash.
On the same day, the boy and sister returned home from the hospital - the bites disappeared as soon as the toy burned.
Carousel (horror story)
One girl went with her friends to the park to ride on the carousel. They rode the ferris wheel and roller coaster. And on other carousels. Only one was not ridden. No one rode on this carousel, although it was very large and beautiful.
“It’s better not to ride on it,” the girl’s friends warned the girl, “everyone who rode on it did not return home.”
But the girl liked this carousel so much that she decided to ride it. A man in a blue suit stood near the carousel. He took the girl’s money and gave her a number. The girl chose a booth and sat down. The man started the carousel. The carousel spun, but no engine noise was heard. But the girl heard someone crying. She wanted to see who was crying there, but the booth in which the girl was sitting suddenly slammed shut.
And when she finally opened, the girl found herself in a dark room where there were many other boys and girls. And they were all blue.
The girl was very scared, but still asked:
- Why are you all blue?
“Because we died,” said one boy, “we all rode on the carousel, and now we have to spin it whenever someone wants to ride it.” But everyone who rides this carousel dies.
“But I didn’t die,” said the girl, “but I rode on this carousel.”
“Didn’t you hear your mother crying?” - someone asked.
“Look at your hands,” said the boy.
The girl looked at her hands and saw that they had turned blue.
“You also turned blue because you died,” said the boy.
Shoes (horror story)
One mother bought shoes for a girl. These were very beautiful shoes, and they were very inexpensive. True, in the store some grandmother began to say that it was better not to take these shoes, but the girl’s mother did not listen to her, deciding that the grandmother just wanted to take the shoes for her granddaughter.
“If you suddenly lose your daughter,” said the grandmother before leaving, “look for her in the cemetery.”
The girl really liked the shoes too. She immediately put them on, and she and her mother went for a walk in the park. At first everything was fine, but then the legs themselves led the girl somewhere. The girl began to cry and began to call her mother. Mom caught up with the girl at the very exit of the park.
The next day, when the girl went to the store to buy bread, the shoes again led her somewhere. The girl was very scared, but a policeman stopped her and brought her home.
Then the girl realized that these were not ordinary shoes and decided not to wear them anymore. However, at night, when the girl was sleeping, the shoes themselves put on her feet and again led the girl somewhere.
The girl began to scream, the mother woke up, rushed to the girl’s room, and there was no one there. And there are no shoes. Then my mother remembered my grandmother’s words and ran to the cemetery.
But she didn't have time. When she ran to the cemetery, there was a new grave right in front of the entrance, and the girl’s name was written on it.
Mom ran to the police. The police immediately dug up the grave, but the girl had already died. And there were no shoes on her feet.
Black dress (horror story)
One little girl had a dream.
She dreamed that her mother bought a beautiful black dress. Mom looked so beautiful in it that the girl thought that when she grew up, she would definitely buy herself such a dress. But at night, when the girl and her mother went to bed, the dress came out of the closet and strangled the mother, and then began to strangle the girl.
When the girl woke up, she immediately told her mother:
- Mom, don’t buy a black dress for anything.
But in the evening, mother came with the same black dress that the girl saw in her dream.
“I asked you not to buy a black dress,” the girl burst into tears.
“But it’s not black,” my mother objected, “it’s dark, dark red.”
Then the girl took scissors and, while her mother was preparing dinner, began to cut the dress into small pieces. But no matter how much she cut, the dress grew together and became whole again.
Then the girl took matches and set the dress on fire. The dress instantly burst into flames and screamed in pain, like a living person.
The burning dress was thrown back and forth and a fire started in the apartment. The girl barely managed to run out, and the girl’s mother could not get out of the fire and burned.
Shadow-death (horror story)
One boy found an old iron can. Something was quietly pouring inside this jar. The boy wanted to open the jar to see what was inside, but he couldn’t - the iron was rusty.
Then the boy took a large stone and began to knock on the iron can. But then suddenly I heard:
- Do not open.
The boy turned around, but there was no one there.
Then the boy saw a large bird on a tree branch. The bird repeated again:
- Do not open.
But the boy again began to knock the rust off the iron can. After some time he tried to open the jar. The jar didn't open. And the bird kept sitting on the tree and repeating:
- Don't open, don't open!
The boy got angry at the bird and threw an iron can at it. Hitting the branch, the can opened and some shadow slipped out of the can, grabbed the bird and swallowed it.
It was Shadow Death.
The boy got scared and ran away. But Shadow-Death did not pursue the boy.
Seeing that Shadow-Death was not chasing him, the boy was happy and went on to play.
But when he returned home, there was no one in the house - the Shadow-Death killed and swallowed everyone.
The boy began to cry and ran out of the house. And on the street the Shadow-Death was waiting for him.
Red sleigh (horror story)
One boy went sledding late at night.
“Just don’t exchange sleds with anyone,” the boy’s mother warned, “especially if the sled is red.”
When the boy came to the skating rink, there was no one there, only an old grandmother standing. And next to her stood a beautiful red sleigh. The boy liked his grandmother's sled and came closer to look at it.
- Nice sled? – the grandmother asked the boy.
“Very beautiful,” answered the boy.
“Let’s switch,” suggested the grandmother.
The boy was so happy that he forgot what his mother told him. He gave his regular sled to his grandmother and took the red sled from his grandmother.
The grandmother took the boy's sled and quickly left. And the boy took a red sled, climbed the hill with it, sat down and rolled down.
The red sled slid down easily. But when they rolled down, the boy turned into a skeleton. The red sled has been drinking from him all his life.
Music box (horror story)
One girl went to the store and saw that a beautiful music box was being sold there. The girl liked the box so much that she immediately wanted to buy it. But she didn't have much money.
— How much does this music box cost? – the girl asked the saleswoman.
- How much do you have? - said the saleswoman.
The girl took out all the money she had.
The saleswoman quickly counted the money. There were exactly thirty-five kopecks there.
“This music box costs just thirty-five kopecks,” said the saleswoman and gave the box to the girl.
The girl came home. She wanted to wait for her mother, but could not resist and started the music box. Along with the music, death climbed out of the box and took the girl’s soul.
But then the girl’s mother came running. She heard music on the street and therefore covered her ears with a scarf so that death could not take her soul, because death from the music box took only those who heard the music. Seeing what happened, the mother quickly turned the box in the opposite direction and the girl’s soul returned back. True, after that the girl stopped hearing completely.
And my mother burned the music box in the stove.
Blue bag (horror story)
Mom sent one girl to the store to buy bread. The girl bought bread, but when she wanted to leave, some woman in a blue dress asked the girl:
- Girl, isn’t this your blue bag?
The girl looked at the beautiful blue bag and she liked the bag so much that she said:
- Yes, this is my bag.
The woman in the blue dress gave the girl a bag. The girl ran home and immediately showed the bag to her mother.
- Look how beautiful my blue bag is.
But mom, seeing the blue bag, took it and threw it out the window.
“And never take a blue bag from anyone again,” my mother warned.
At night, the girl woke up from someone calling her from the street. The girl went to the window and saw a woman in a blue dress standing on the street and in her hands a blue bag.
“Girl,” said the woman in a blue dress, “this is your bag.” Take her.
Then the woman’s arms began to stretch out and soon reached the girl’s window on the third floor. And the girl saw that these hands were also blue.
The girl still took the blue bag and ran away from the window, but the hands extended even further, climbed into the room, grabbed the girl and strangled her.
And in the morning, when the girl’s mother entered the room, she saw the dead girl. And the girl had blue hands.
Black Mirror (horror story)
One girl was walking on the street with her favorite doll. Then an old woman in a black dress approached her. The old woman's face was covered with a black scarf.
The old woman looked at the girl and said:
- Girl, give me your doll. And I'll give you a black mirror for it.
And the old lady pulled out a beautiful black mirror.
The girl liked the mirror so much that she immediately gave the doll to the old woman. The old woman took the doll and handed the girl a black mirror.
But then the girl’s doll suddenly came to life and pulled off the old woman’s black scarf. And the girl saw that under the scarf the old woman had no face.
- Run, girl! - the doll shouted.
The girl turned and ran. But the old woman pointed a black mirror at her and the girl began to be drawn into it. Then the doll hit the old woman on the hand, the mirror fell out of the old woman’s hands, fell to the ground and broke.
As soon as the black mirror broke, the old woman in black screamed and burst into flames like a match. And with it, the girl’s doll caught fire. But the doll still managed to tell the girl:
- Bury the broken mirror, but never look into it.
The girl did just that. But when she was burying the broken black mirror, she glanced briefly at the small fragment. And from what the girl saw there, her hair turned gray, like that of old people.
Old house (horror story)
There lived a girl in one city. She lived with her mother, but they did not have a father.
There was an old house where they lived. No one lived in it, but her mother always told the girl never to go near this house.
But the girl did not listen to her mother and one day approached the old house and looked out the window. And I saw that there were a lot of people there - and everyone had black faces and red eyes.
The girl got scared and ran away.
But when she ran home, she saw that her mother also had a black face and red eyes.
“I told you not to come near this house,” the mother said, grabbed the girl and took her to the old house.
The girl also had a black face and red eyes. At night she walked around the city and looked into the windows. Those who saw her began to get sick and died.
One day people gathered and burned the old house. When the house burned down, many human bones were found there.
Little Princess (horror story)
There lived a little girl in the world. She was very kind and always tried to help everyone - her mother, grandmother, little brother and other people. For this, her mother and grandmother called the girl a little princess. And then other people began to call the girl that. And the girl tried to be exactly like a real princess.
One day, when the girl was walking on the street, an old woman, hunchbacked and ugly, like Baba Yaga, approached her. And all the children immediately ran away - just in case, but the girl remained, since princesses should not treat people badly, even Baba Yaga.
“You are a kind and sweet child,” said the old woman, “and you deserve to become a real princess.”
The girl nodded. She had been told this many times already.
“I know one kingdom where a princess is really needed,” the old woman continued, “do you want to go there?”
And the girl answered like a real princess:
“If somewhere people need a princess, I can’t help but go there.”
The old woman laughed loudly and stamped her foot.
- So go! You will become a little princess of the kingdom of the dead!
And the girl immediately fell dead...
When the girl was buried, she was very, very beautiful. And people said that she would be the most beautiful princess in the kingdom of the dead.
Snake tongue (horror story)
One boy ran so fast that no one could catch up with him, not even adults. And adults often tried to catch up with the boy, because he was always teasing and calling him names.
One day a boy began to tease an old woman, calling her an old turtle.
“Better watch your language,” the old woman said to the boy, “otherwise you are too independent.” You look like he will turn into a snake.
But the boy just laughed and began calling him even more offensive names.
“It’s better to live with a snake in your mouth than to see an old turtle like you.”
And at night the boy had a dream, as if his tongue began to grow, and then turned into a snake, and instead of the snake’s head it had the head of the old woman whom the boy was teasing. And the boy could not escape from this snake. He wanted to scream and call for help, but he couldn’t, because he didn’t have a tongue...
When the boy woke up in the morning, his hair was white as snow. And he stopped talking completely, just mumbled all day and no one could understand anything.
And the next night the boy fell asleep and never woke up. And he had marks from snake bites on his hands.
Probably each of us in our childhood was delighted with scary stories. Schoolchildren love to watch cartoons and films about ghosts, werewolves and witches, and also tell each other horror stories for children. Is this normal and does it harm the child’s psyche? In fact, from time immemorial people have loved to retell scary stories. Even many famous children's fairy tales have elements of horror, for example, the stories about Koshchei the Immortal or the Serpent Gorynych.
According to psychologists, there is nothing terrible here. Being in a cozy home environment and listening to horror stories, children can throw out their fears and negative emotions, plunging into the world of the mysterious and mystical.
You should not frighten young children with scary stories, then you can really harm their mental state. And here horror stories for kids 10 years and older will not cause any harm to their psyche.
Horror stories for children “10 black roses”
Next door to one girl lived an unpleasant and angry woman. The girl was afraid of her and did not like her, for which her mother and father often scolded her, saying that this was impossible, and in fact their neighbor was good.
One day, when my mother had her birthday, a neighbor presented her with ten black roses. Everyone, of course, was surprised by such a present, but they didn’t throw the roses away and put them in a vase in the children’s room.
At midnight, a hand stuck out of a vase of flowers and began to strangle the baby. Luckily, the girl was able to escape and ran to her mom and dad. She told them everything, but her parents did not believe her. The next night the story with the hand repeated itself. But the girl was able to escape again.
On the third night, the girl threw a tantrum before going to bed and said that she refused to sleep alone. Then dad decided to lie down in her room. At 12 o'clock at night, a hand again reached out of the vase and tried to grab the girl by the throat. Dad, seeing this, jumped up, ran to the kitchen for a knife and cut off the little finger on his hand. After which the hand disappeared.
The next morning the parents went to throw out the bouquet and met a neighbor. The woman's hand was bandaged. Seeing this, they understood everything.
Cursed treasures
During the war, treasures were hidden in the basement of one house. People found out about this and really wanted to find them in order to appropriate them for themselves. However, many of those who wanted to get rich, once in the basement, disappeared without a trace. A few managed to get out alive, but after that they completely lost their minds. It was impossible to find out from them what really happened.
Two yard boys also decided to go in search of jewelry. They took a flashlight with them and climbed into the dark basement. They wandered there for a long time until they came across a black door. Opening it, they found themselves in a strange place. Everything in the room was strewn with gold, and human skeletons lay on the floor. The boys wanted to run away, but the door jammed. In horror, they began banging on the door and calling for help.
The boys burst into tears and began to ask the invisible interlocutor to let them go. They swore to him that they would never go to the basement again and would not tell anyone anything.
The boys managed to get out of the basement, which was flooded the next day. They kept their oath and did not tell anyone about what happened to them.
Ghost of the Cleaning Lady
A cleaner worked in one of the schools. She was very old, and one day she died. One of the students brought a can of red paint and wrote the name of his favorite musical group on the wall of the school.
Arriving at school the next day, he wanted to look at the inscription, but saw that it had disappeared. He was surprised who could have erased it, because the cleaning lady had died, and so far no one had been hired to take her place. He picked up the spray can and re-wrote the name of the ensemble.
At midnight he woke up from some strange sound. Opening his eyes, he saw the ghost of a cleaning lady in front of him. She leaned towards him and said: “If you continue to paint the walls, I will take you with me. You will walk with me through the cemetery and wipe off the dust from the graves and crosses.” The boy did not misbehave anymore.

Faces in portraits
One man got lost in the forest. He wandered for a long time and finally came across a hut at dusk. There was no one inside, and he decided to go to bed. But he could not fall asleep for a long time, because there were portraits of some people hanging on the walls, and it seemed to him that they were looking at him ominously. Eventually he fell asleep from exhaustion. In the morning he was awakened by bright sunlight. There were no paintings on the walls. These were windows.
Count to five
One winter, four students from a mountaineering club got lost in the mountains and got caught in a snowstorm. They managed to reach an abandoned and empty house. There was nothing in it to keep warm, and the guys realized that they would freeze if they fell asleep in this place. One of them suggested this. Everyone stands in the corner of the room. First, one runs to the other, pushes him, the latter runs to the third, etc. This way they will not fall asleep, and the movement will warm them up. Until the morning they ran along the walls, and in the morning rescuers found them. When the students later talked about their salvation, someone asked: “If there is one person in each corner, then when the fourth reaches the corner, there should be no one there. Why didn’t you stop then?” The four looked at each other in horror. No, they never stopped.
Damaged film
One girl photographer decided to spend the day and night alone, in a deep forest. She was not afraid, because this was not the first time she had gone hiking. She spent the day photographing trees and grass with a film camera, and in the evening settled down to sleep in her small tent. The night passed peacefully; horror overtook her only a few days later. All four reels produced excellent images, except for the last frame. All the photographs were of her, sleeping peacefully in her tent in the darkness of the night.
Call from the nanny
One day, a married couple decided to go to the cinema and leave the children with a babysitter. They put the children to bed, so the young woman just had to stay home just in case. Soon the girl got bored and decided to watch TV. She called her parents and asked their permission to turn on the TV. They naturally agreed, but she had one more request... she asked if it was possible to cover the statue of an angel outside the window with something, because it made her nervous. The phone went quiet for a second, and then the father who was talking to the girl said: “Take the kids and run from the house... we'll call the police. We don't have an angel statue." The police found everyone remaining at home dead. The angel statue was never discovered.
Who's there?
About five years ago, late at night, 4 short bells rang at my door. I woke up, got angry and didn’t open the door: I wasn’t expecting anyone. On the second night someone called again 4 times. I looked out the peephole, but there was no one outside the door. During the day I told this story and joked that death must have taken the wrong door. On the third evening, an acquaintance came to see me and stayed up late. The doorbell rang again, but I pretended not to notice anything to check: maybe I was hallucinating. But he heard everything perfectly and, after my story, exclaimed: “Well, let’s deal with these jokers!” and ran out into the yard. That night I saw him for the last time. No, he didn't disappear. But on the way home he was beaten by a drunken company, and he died in the hospital. The calls stopped. I remembered this story because last night I heard three short rings on the door.
Twin
My girlfriend wrote today that she didn’t know that I had such a charming brother, and even a twin! It turns out that she had just stopped by my house, not knowing that I stayed at work until night, and he met her there. He introduced himself, offered him coffee, told a few funny stories from his childhood, and escorted us to the elevator.
I don’t even know how to tell her that I don’t have a brother.
Damp fog
It was in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The climbers set up camp near a small mountain lake. Around midnight everyone wanted to sleep. Suddenly a noise was heard from the direction of the lake: either crying or laughter. Friends (there were five of them) decided to check what was the matter. They found nothing near the shore, but saw a strange fog in which white lights glowed. The guys went to the lights. We took just a couple of steps towards the lake... And then one, who was walking last, noticed that he was standing knee-deep in icy water! He pulled the two closest to him, they came to their senses and got out of the fog. But the two who walked ahead disappeared into the fog and water. It was impossible to find them in the cold and in the dark. Early in the morning, survivors hurried after rescuers. They didn't find anyone. And by evening, the two who had just plunged into the fog also died.

One high school student was bored in class and looked out the window. On the grass he saw a photograph thrown by someone. He went out into the yard and picked up the photograph: it showed a very beautiful girl. She was wearing a dress, red shoes, and she was showing the V sign with her hand. The guy began asking everyone if they had seen this girl. But no one knew her. In the evening he put the photo near his bed, and at night he was awakened by a quiet sound, as if someone was scratching on the glass. A woman's laughter was heard in the darkness outside the window. The boy left the house and began to look for the source of the voice. He quickly moved away, and the guy did not notice how, hurrying after him, he ran out onto the roadway. He was hit by a car. The driver jumped out of the car and tried to save the downed man, but it was too late. And then the man noticed a photograph of a beautiful girl on the ground. She was wearing a dress, red shoes and was showing three fingers.
Grandma Marfa
Grandfather told this story to his granddaughter. As a child, he found himself with his brothers and sisters in a village that the Germans were approaching. The adults decided to hide the children in the forest, in the forester's house. They agreed that Baba Marfa would carry the food for them. But returning to the village was strictly forbidden. This is how the children lived through May and June. Every morning Martha left food in the barn. At first the parents also came running, but then they stopped. The children looked at Martha through the window, she turned and silently, sadly looked at them and baptized the house. One day two men approached the house and invited the children to come with them. These were partisans. From them the children learned that their village was burned a month ago. They also killed Baba Marfa.
Do not open the door!
A twelve-year-old girl lived with her father. They had a great relationship. One day my father was planning to stay late at work and said that he would return late at night. The girl waited for him, waited, and finally went to bed. She had a strange dream: her father was standing on the other side of a busy highway and shouting something to her. She barely heard the words: “Don’t... open... the door.” And then the girl woke up from the bell. She jumped out of bed, ran to the door, looked through the peephole and saw her father's face. The girl was about to open the lock when she remembered the dream. And my father’s face was somehow strange. She stopped. The bell rang again.
Ding, ding, ding.
Dad, answer me!
Ding, ding, ding.
Is there someone there with you?
Ding, ding, ding.
Dad, why don't you answer? - the girl almost cried.
Ding, ding, ding.
I won't open the door until you answer me!
The doorbell kept ringing and ringing, but the father was silent. The girl sat huddled in the corner of the hallway. This went on for about an hour, then the girl fell into oblivion. At dawn she woke up and realized that the doorbell was no longer ringing. She crept to the door and looked through the peephole again. Her father was still standing there and looking straight at her. The girl carefully opened the door and screamed. Her father's severed head was nailed to the door at peephole level.
There was a note attached to the doorbell with just two words: “Smart girl.”
