Monsters aren't scary by themselves, and an ordinary guy can be very scary. The fear needs to come from the atmosphere, the plot, and the narrator's thoughts.

As Underscorre said, people who put all their focus on the monster liker they're writing a slasher fic origin story only care about trying to make the next 'face' of creepypasta.

I admit it is tempting to try this method myself, but I'm not sure if I even can. That's just not how my mind plans stories.
