How many horror novels do you read where the author uses Caps Lock? I've not read many. Example: Getrude Atherton's The Greatest Good of the Greatest Number uses no Caps. Not one. Still, there's shouting and confusion on Morton Blaire's part when deciding whether he should kill the girl by refusing the morphine or not. Yea,but scare will be calm.We want to SCARE THE SH*T OUT OF US! Usually I don't comment on someone's writing abilities in a forum, but please, for god's sake, put a space after your punctuation.

There is no scare in Caps. The common mistake made is that Caps jump out at you. They don't. They're annoying. They have no effect. Referencing the story above, it still provides a feeling and draws the reader into the story without using caps. Creeping someone out is no different.
