How can you describe a spooky setting in a metaphor?

Answer 1

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which one thing is described as another thing. An example of metaphor in a spooky story is " the black cat was a screeching banshee."

Answer 2

A metaphor compares something to something else. You need to make a list of everything you think of as "spooky" and see what you can compare your setting to. Remember not to use simile words (as or like) -- create a direct comparison.

An example would be "the tree reached out for us in the darkness," comparing the tree to a predator trying to capture the people.

Answer 3

A spooky setting is like a shadow-strewn labyrinth, where whispers echo like chilling memories, and every flickering light casts a dance of uncertainty.
