A good idea, is to read some books, preferrably your favorite writer, or a horror series, and observe how they use "Fright Mechanics".

Fright Mechanics can be used in a number of ways, from suspense, to completely surprising your reader.

Stephen King (My favorite writer), uses both of those, in a number of ways. From suspense in "It" and "Pet Semetary", to using things for shock value in "Needful Things".

There are many things to do in a pasta, and as many things as you can think of, it needs to have a certain sense of realism, but not too real, as that would make people think you are trying too hard.

In numerous stories, and an easy way for a good pasta, is to lead your reader on in a certain direction, before making them look back and make them (or the character) realize that something else has been happening the whole time. I've used this myself, and it can be a bit tricky at times, but never fear, that is why we have the Writers' Workshop. They give you helpful advice on your pasta, how to make it better, or just, writing tips in general.

That's the biggest rule, befriend the community, and never fear to ask for help.
