There are still plenty of ideas for pastas that haven't been used yet, such as:

A giant crab that lives in the sewers and affects everyone who touches it with an intangibility curse.

A  college student becomes so stressed while studying that he starts hallucinating monsters. Or ARE they hallucinations?

A tumor growing on the protagonist's neck trurns out to be the developing fetus of a monster.

The protagonist finds a portal to another dimension which seems like his own at first, but we slowly learn a horrifying secret about it.

A deranged artist's statues come to life every night.

Thanks to a freak lab accident, the protagonist is slowly turning into crystal. He then discovers that his condition is contagious.

Etc, etc. etc.
