I think Beybladefan had a good idea. Using realistic memories and transferring them into a horror plot is always a good starter for a basic story web.

To avoid unwanted cliches, however, the answer is quite subtle. Try to think of something you've never read before. Not saying you cannot use things you've learned from other pasta.

Build up suspense at first and then make a huge plot twist, perhaps? That might work to eliminate the predictable.

I can't really get into deep detail because I don't know what your pasta is about.
