Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Two-Sentence Horror Stories into the ol’ VCR. 

I opened my laptop to write a new piece about Two-Sentence Horror Stories for the B Movies Blog. The problem is, I forgot my blue light glasses in the other room and have to get back up. 

SCARY, right?

If you haven’t caught on, we’re talking about the world of Two-Sentence Horror Stories today. 

Two-Sentence Horror Stories are fascinating to me. I really enjoy the TV series, and I also enjoy the subreddit.

But, what really gets me is how goofy some of these stories are. Like, unbelievably goofy. 

Don’t believe me? 

Here are some real gems: 

I rest my case. 

On the other hand, there are also some good Two-Sentence Horror Stories to counteract the bad. For example:

You get the picture. 

As a writer myself, I think it’s cool to challenge yourself to write an entire plot in two sentences. I respect everyone who writes them, even the goofy ones. I also think there’s a lot of space to play in here. 

I would honestly LOVE to see a horror anthology movie where each story is based on two sentences the contributor wrote. Or even that another contributor wrote. Additionally, I’d love to see a YouTube channel dedicated to bringing these to life through short films. Maybe something like Two-Minute, Two-Sentence Horror Stories?

If any of you make this channel, you have to include me. I can’t edit and have zero filmmaking experience, but I do have a heart of gold. 

The TV series also proved that these stories translate well to film. 

If you aren’t familiar, Vera Miao created a series for The CW that was unfortunately canceled in 2023. However, you can check out the episodes over on Netflix, and I would highly recommend them. 

“But, Baillee, where should I start with the TV series?” 

Well, friends, you’ve, yet again, come to the right place. 

I’ve grabbed a few of my favorite episodes and dropped them in, you guessed it, a list below. 

These episodes may have a lot more than two sentences, but they’re absolutely worth the watch. 

Without further ado, here are 5 episodes to check out from the Two Sentence Horror Stories series. Insert second sentence here.

Note: Netflix has grouped the series into three seasons, not four, so I’m using the Netflix classification season for easier browsing. 

• “Squirm” – Season 1, Episode 2 (CW/TW: SA) 
• “Tutorial” – Season 1, Episode 6
• “Essence” – Season 2, Episode 7 
• “Crush” – Season 3, Episode 1 
• “Teatime” – Season 3, Episode 4 

I know there are only 5 episodes listed here, but I truly recommend watching the full series. Each episode is only 20-minutes long, and there are some wonderful and creative stories all throughout. Not to mention a lot of really talented cast and crew members.
