    Try thinking about your worst fears. Then think about how they make you feel, and why. Humans are afraid of dangerous situations and monsters not because of death, but because they threaten your entire identity and life force. If you can incorporate that fear into any story, then it just might be horror! Good luck :)

    I'm not good with horror as well. That's why I avoid horror stories/movies or anything horror if I can. Why don't you try to think something that scares you or always give you a creep.

    Like for example, I don't like dolls, the human shaped ones. And I managed to write a short story about a living doll which is sort of creepy. Try playing different scenarios in your head. I can't remember where I read this either on the Tutorial section or on blog but the user said that to write a good horror story, try to scare yourself. I hope I'm helping. Good luck with your task. ^_^
