Annotation	The paper describes an approach developed by the author to using horror stories in unrehearsed situations in teaching the Bulgarian language and literature at pre-school age. The present research is the first of this kind in Bulgaria. It takes into account the fact that horror stories have no place in the officially prescribed language practice and their use is limited to informal communication among children. The research shows that they have an unrevealed aesthetic and educational potential. The results obtained give reasons to claim that horror stories are a starting point for analogous research in the area of pedagogics, psychology and children’s creative language practice.
Key words	horror stories, repertoire, pre-school age
