The haunted house used a sudden jump-scare to make everyone scream.

The farmer hung old boots and tin cans in the fields to keep the scare-bugs away from his crops.

Late at night, the gardeners whispered about a tiny scare-bug that kept their roses free of pests.

At the haunted house, the scare-babes sprang out from behind the curtains and sent guests screaming.

When the thunder cracked, the cat ran scared to hide under the porch.

When the lights went out and the strange tapping started, I was genuinely scared spitless.
