Top 100 Highest Rated Horror Stories List (October Reading List) · 5:53am Sep 19th, 2016
Well, with October rapidly approaching, it's a good time for me to go ahead and start looking for some horror stories to pour over for the month of Nightmares. However, unlike last year (which involved me finding only a few worthwhile titles, and a humongous pile of horrible ones), I won't be just searching through groups willy nilly, hoping to run into good stuff. No, instead, I'm going to do what I should've done last year and do a search for the highest rated horror stories on the site, and place links to the one hundred highest rated stories down below for the sake of convienience. If a story has already been read, I'll go ahead and make sure I mention it. So, let's see what we've got:

Even counting out the stories I've already read, we've got quite a long list of stories to go through. With these and the new movie coming out, October will be a good month. I can feel it... 
Cheers 
Huh. I never realized I had three stories in the top 100.
That's kinda neat.
4256993
Slender
The Thirteenth Hour
Field of Screams
The Cask of Appletillado
4257201 oh snap I missed one.
Even neater.

4257201 Sadly, for me, Little Game Of War has slipped off the top 100 (darn!) And Skittish never made the list as it's tagged "Sad" instead of "Horror" even though I've been told it's a reasonably good ghost story. Oh, well...
4261644 Sorry bout that man. But hey, it's a pretty competitive list. (and a bit of a pain to keep updated, but whatever.) At least you'd made it on at one point, which is more than most can claim.
