I like to write in third person more than first, but I do both. However, which is scarier, that all depends on how talented the author is and how well he can execute a story. It doesn't matter if it is first or third person so long as the idea is creepy. The perspective doesn't always make a story scarier, sometimes it can, but for the most part it doesn't matter who is telling the story as long as it is told well.

If I was forced to choose, I suppose it would be more towards first person so long as it was told well enough for my reasons. The reasons would be that with first person the author can pull a reader so deep into the mindset of the person and make it seem real. As with third person it is known from the start to be fake.
