10 Internet Horror Stories That Should Be Movies

4. Grandma's Light Is Always On

There's something particularly creepy about the typical design of an old woman's house in the world of horror. The emptiness, dust on every object, and outdated furniture all combine to create a seriously eerie setting, and it is this trope that Saint's r/nosleep story makes stunning use of.

The main character opens up the story by explaining that their grandma used to own a distinctive lamp in her house that was always on. She keeps this lamp beautifully maintained, changing the bulb every week, and reacting in horror when the author turned it off one day.

Explained as being a ghost light, the story dabbles in the old world superstitions on ghosts, spirits, and the beings that remain in a location long after death. Things really begin to take a sharp, sinister tone when the author returns back to the house and discovers the consequences of Grandma's ghost light...

Franchises such as Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Conjuring have shown just how popular ghost stories can be in the cinema world, and Grandma's Light Is Always On could make for a fresh addition to this community.
