Thank you to everyone who entered Dictionary.com's 2024 Haunting Hooks writing contest: scary monster edition! Get ready to scream for the ghouls who reigned supreme:
The Winner: Guest judges Dan and Lynze Cummins from the Scared To Death podcast have selected the winning story:
"She walked down the familiar path into the woods. The cooing owls were her only friends tonight, but the beast would scare them away soon. The path in front of her had been paved by the girls who came before. She was not the first and wouldn't be the last." — Hannah Martin
Fans' Choice: The people have spoken and with the most "likes" on Dictionary.com's Instagram, this Hook was the frightening favorite:
"I woke up drunk. Again. Nothing new. Facing a world-class hangover. Nothing new. The unmoving female form beside me was new. The wet coppery smell of fresh blood. That was new. Then there was the hooded figure looming in the corner. That was definitely new." — Greg H.
