The TikTok app, which has generated millions of fans across the globe, has attracted many creative filmmaking individuals who have managed to find a new way to share their personal nightmares with an ever growing fan-base. Gleefully dubbed "horror-tok" by users in the know, there's a variety of terrors from POV scares and short films to 2 sentence horror stories told in under 30 seconds. Quite frankly theres something for everyone, so let's dive right into this list and you can check out some of the finest horror content I've discovered that's bound to give you the creeps.

@Lights.are.off

First stop on the list, if you're looking for surreal and creepy content than look no further. This account focuses on bringing nightmares to life and has some of the finest CGI i've ever seen (especially on mobile devices). This 3D animator has racked up an amazing 11.8 million followers with their work and shows no sign of slowing down in the scares department. All I'll say is, if you've ever had a fear of giant monsters stalking you than you better cover your eyes right now!

@Baddreambaby

This creator is 100% dedicated to sharing popular 2 sentence horror stories from various forums and sub-reddits online. With his deadpan narration and eerie broken TV effect video's, he's amassed over 200 thousand followers and a healthy 5 million likes on his content. Plus, he encourages fans to post their own home-grown horror stories in the comments for future video's. Worth checking out just to hear some of the strangest and weird short-form horror tales floating around today.

@thehorrorhub

If you're looking for anything and everything scary than this account should be a staple for your feed. Having racked up over a million in followers this year, they must be doing something right in the horror department. From daily creepy facts, scary ghost videos and re-shared popular horror short films, there's quite literally something to entertain every horror fan out there. Don't believe me? have a look at this unsettling clip below.

@ashurgharavi

POV horror at its finest, get daily videos acted out by Ash and feel like your a part of the story. These are filmed in the first person perspective as you read the story on screen and you get Ash's character reaction too. He acts out all the parts in the story with costumes and occasional gory makeup. A fun style and a nice change for visual storytelling that didn't really exist before this app. If you're still confused, check out the video below for a prime example of Ash's work.

@ghostyshawn

Fans of TV shows like Ghost Hunters and Most Haunted will get kick out of following the exploits of Shawn, a self proclaimed ghost hunter. His regular video's vary from comedy to horror but his live-streams are worth following his account for. He goes to various locations and conducts ghost investigations using spirit boxes and EMF meters in an attempt to get proof of life after death. Personally, I've always been fascinated with ghosts and spirit photography so I think he has some good content worth checking out on a weekly basis.

@celticpurel

An account here after my own heart that focusses on original tales of terror shot on a micro budget. This is why I love the platform so much as undiscovered talented filmmakers can shoot something and potentially get it out to a massive audience within a day or so. If you like a good horror story with a twist then look no further or in the words of this creator, "It's so very nice to scare you".

@thefearhub

Another account that'll feed your need for daily horror content here. Featuring regular creepy facts and spooky stories, there's plenty to get under your skin. Fans of urban legends and creepy Reddit forums won't want to miss out on these "factual" daily video's. With a following of 330 thousand, this account is very much here to stay. Have a look at this very short creepy fact video thats become a staple of their brand.

@shortestblockbusters

The name perfectly sums up this creators vision for this account and I have no doubt they'll be snapped up by a Hollywood studio pretty soon. Their work features extremely well crafted digital worlds that would hardly look out of place in a major motion picture today. Everything from Giant monsters and ghosts to evil alien-esque creatures are explored and designed to make you jump within a short runtime. Check out this fine video below that will give anyone with a fear of being followed a serious complex.

You Scared Yet?

With that comes the end of my list, I just wanted to show you a variety of horror flavours on offer within the horror-Tok community. I always find it exhilarating when I find fresh scary content online and especially when it's free to watch (money's always tight am I right?). So I can only recommend you get the app installed today and go find some new creators for yourself. Oh! and why not check out my viral 15 second horror hit PHOTO which managed to hit 1.4 million views below. Plus you can hit that follow button too and let me know what you think of my content..unless that is you're chicken? buck! buck!

If you enjoyed my article please share it and help to get my work out there. The more views I can get from each article I write increases my earning through Vocal and over time I could even buy myself a coffee (lol). My dream is to be a full-time writer and filmmaker and with your help that day gets ever closer. So Thanks for your time and stay safe people.
