- Narm: The point of the blog is to lampshade this. To wit, while r/TwoSentenceHorror is a forum for two-sentence horror stories, the entries submitted that ended up on this blog are decidedly not very horrifying and thus hard to take seriously.
- Narm Charm: Some stories, such as the ones about the meat worm, Joel and Freddy Fazbore, have became beloved for their non-scariness.

It turned into a scary door handle…"
