Need inspiration for new map.

I like those ideas. Your scare has been used before I believe, but your friends scare I don't think I've ever seen.

My idea of a scare: The player goes up a stair case to the top of the stairs when you open the door, a loud scream plays and you make it so the player drops their lantern and it falls down the stairs. Then, when you are going down the stairs, make the chase music play (The high pitched frequency noise), but don't actually have a monster come, and all the lights in the surrounding area shut off. When the player picks up the lantern, the lights turn back on and the chase music stops. When the player faces the stairs again, make a monster slowly entering the room at the top, and make it slowly go out of sight and disappear.

Sounds complicated, I like it. Although IDK if you can make the terror meter blare without any monster or a hallucination of one.

You can. Just make a .snt that "loops" and you're good to go.
