Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

Objects and creatures that are scary often have that attribute because they are unknown to us. Let's take a look at how we can best define each of these "scary" terms! "Frightening" is a general synonym for "scary", while "terrifying" emphasizes intense fear. "Horrifying" is similar, though it often involves shock or revulsion.

"Spooky", "creepy", and "eerie" convey a sense of subtle or mysterious unease, with "spooky" suggesting something mildly unsettling, "creepy" implying discomfort from something strange or disturbing, and "eerie" emphasizing an unnatural or ghostly atmosphere. "Chilling" suggests a cold dread, while "petrifying" implies a paralyzing terror that causes someone to no longer move. "Bloodcurdling" evokes extreme horror that affects our bodies, often from outside violence or danger.

"Haunted" suggests a ghostly presence, "ghoulish" emphasizes a morbid fascination with death, and "ghastly" indicates something shockingly horrible or deathlike. "Unnerving" implies a milder, but still troublesome, discomfort that disrupts your composure. "Fearsome" suggests something that inspires fear through its threatening nature or through terrifying power. "Macabre" is usually used to highlight something strongly gruesome or death-related.

The other answer options were all antonyms of the word "scary" with a focus on being friendly.
