Uhh evil Satanists aren't a real thing. You can have a cult of demon worshippers but make the demon and the cult thoroughly described. Give them a bigger goal than getting a demon to kill people or on the contrary make the whole thing a truly maniacal quest of chaos for the sake of chaos.

Make this demon grotesque and vile as possible. Change his name to something that sounds otherworldly, "Bobby" kills it. Get it to show up under certain circumstances like some rare astronomical condition or a weather condition or as a reaulr of spells getting activated, you can use something corny like symbols drawn with blood too.

Have the pratagonist find a book about the creature somewhere and deduce that the thing he saw and lost his friends to is this creature.

Also give proper details, think q horror movie, what scenes do you consider good in horror and what bad... then write down the things you imagine to be good horror as if you were watching them unfold.

Also, Don't use bad tropes like "splitting up" and "creepy tell tales we didnt believe in", make the tell tales affect the locals, have the beast attack the whole geoup at once, these things make it more realistic.

Same applies to the summoning of this thing, make it descriptive and give it a chilly aura.

P.s skinning a human is "flaying"
