I think this is a very good opening for a horror/ thriller story or movie. You have a solid hook ending where the reader is confronted with a mystery of who or what is coming out of the closet.

    Thanks so much for your comments on my post. It's generally out of my genre but I managed a paragraph. I'm not sure that I could write a whole book that way. Appreciate the review and your comments.

Great opening paragraph. It has mystery, intrigue, and a little bit of horror in there. You certainly hit the mark on making me want to continue reading. Good job.

This certainly fits the bill for a scary piece that grabs the attention and holds the suspense to the end. And leaves one waiting and wondering who or what is in the closet. Shivery.

    Wow! I never anticipated a six for this story, but I am very grateful for your comments and time. It's out of my genre to write, but one never knows when they step out of the box. Thank you so much.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

This paragraph definitely has a successful hook. You quickly set the scene, which kept me glued to the screen. It moves quickly through the terrifying events, from the bloody footsteps to the climax. Nice imagery like 'bloody footsteps' on white snow is echoed in the bride's' red hair', which I imagined on white sheets. Nicely done! - Terry

    Wow! Thank you so much for reading and enjoying this short paragraph. It's totally out of my norm, but what the heck, you have to try and grab a new brass ring every now and then. Appreciate your thoughts and the stars. Thank you!

Grumble. That is not fair! Definitely an effective teaser to a story I need to hear. I hope you continue the story and do very well in the contest! Normally blood curdling screams and bloody footsteps would be too much in one thought but it is effective here. Esther

    Of course, you would want me to dig deeper into this horrifying event and come out dripping with blood and a mystery too dark to even explain. Thanks for the golden stars and all your encouragement. Have a great day!

Good and creepy. I love it. You don't give any answers so my fevered brain goes to lots of awful scenarios. You are so good at that. You are so talented, but sweetheart, you keep forgetting to give kudos to where the picture comes from. Put a tiny post it on the computer. That was what I had to do until it became a habit. Love you, Karen

Well, you certainly drew me in, created interest, and pulled my strings as if I was a marionette. Then, you cut everything short and left me wishing there was more. Thanks for sharing.

    You are so welcome! Scratching my nails on chalkboard and sending chills down your spine couldn't be better! LOL though I can't imagine you ever being a marionette. Thanks for reading my moment of gore. Have a great day!

Well your opening line certainly enticed me to keep reading. You set the dramatic story with your opening words and keep the terror going until -the closet door creaked open. Well done and good luck in the contest.
