Have you ever seen haunted houses on Roblox and wondered, "Gee, this really isn't scary?" Truth is, most Roblox places aren't scary. Why's that? See how to make your place actually scary!
Steps
Use dark SkyBoxes. SkyBoxes are the skies around you when you play Roblox. They can be stormy or even inside a computer. You can search for SkyBoxes in the Roblox free models list when you build your place. Be sure to search for SkyBoxes like "Nighttime" or "Full Moon."
Do not make a haunted house. Haunted houses are very overdone and end up being just a one day sensation before they start losing visits. Create a place different from a haunted house, like a "Cave Crypt" or "Doomed Temple."Advertisement
Try thinking of video games that have scary places and model your place after that. Don't model your place after somewhere in "Fallout" or "Left 4 Dead" because they are overused. Try games like "Rayman 2: The Great Escape" which has scary and mysterious places like "The Tomb of the Ancients" or "Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava." These offer new ideas to the theme of scary, and you might just end up starting a new trend on Roblox if your scary place gets enough visits.
Add mysterious badges to your place. This adds the "adventurous" theme to your scary place, and make them well hidden. Ideas for badges would be "You found the Mario reference" or "You discovered the secret crack in the wall" which make people want to find exciting new things.
Make your place empty of living creatures. Don't even add ghosts to give your place the lonely and scary feeling.
Make your servers small and disable Bubble Chat. This will create an even bigger feeling of loneliness as more people contributes to people saying, "Hey, this isn't that scary with all of us here!" Disabling Bubble Chat also helps because you won't know where other people are and you will be scouting to see where they are, unless they reveal their locations via Menu Chat.- A way around this is by disabling chat altogether. To do this, simply create a new script in Workspace with the code:

local StarterGui = game:GetService('StarterGui')#StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, false)
Make obstacles. Put some dark matter on the ground that kills on touch, and add some logs or boulders on top of the dark matter as stepping stones.
Add pop-ups, they will scare people when they least expect it!
Create a scary ad for your place. Add no text, just the face of a scary looking ghost. Most people get thousands of visits bidding amounts of 5000-7000 Tix on ads.- 4Once you have followed all the steps above, you are ready to go!Advertisement

- QuestionHow do you make it so dark?
Community AnswerGo to lighting, then disable GlobalShadows. After you changed the ambient to 0,0,0, turn brightness to 0. - QuestionHow do I make a slow walk?
Community AnswerUse animating models or avatar animation models, then type their ID and it will work. However, they do have to be scripts. - QuestionWhat if I tried but it's not very scary?
Community AnswerJump scares don't really work on Roblox. I think the only way to make a good horror game is by scripting creepy stuff. Creepy is scarier then jump scares, because it scares you for longer, not just half a second.
