What are some unique endings for a horror story?

Here are a few ideas: 1) The protagonist realizes they were the monster all along. 2) The haunting was a warning for the living. 3) The survivor discovers they are trapped in a loop.

I like the loop idea! Can you expand on that?

Sure! In this ending, the character escapes a terrifying situation, only to find themselves back at the beginning, with no memory of the previous events. Each time they escape, they learn a little more, but the horror escalates.

That sounds chilling! What if they start to remember?

If they start to remember, it could lead to a psychological twist where they realize they have to confront their fears to break the cycle. This could add depth to their character and create a more intense climax.

I love that! Any other twists you can suggest?

Another twist could be that the character discovers they are not the only one trapped in the loop, and they must work with others to find a way out, leading to unexpected alliances and betrayals.
