I would suggest getting what you can written down about the story while it is fresh in your mind. As Empy suggested with the skeleton plot. If I am still stuck after I get the bare bones down on paper, I tend to send the story to a friend or someone I trust and get their opinion on it, asking them what drew them in the most and if their are any parts they want to see fleshed out more then other parts so the story is both fulfilling to the reader while obviously attempting to creep them out.

However, another method that could be used is to simply come up with with the story paragraph by paragraph with only three specific points you want to happen in the story as set in place. What tends to happen is that while writing your way from point to point you develope new things that readers may like and perhaps add tension to the situation as you go into a deep description of what is going on.
