The wilderness is a common element. The vast, unforgiving Alaskan landscape can isolate people and make them vulnerable. Another element is the extreme weather. Blizzards, freezing temperatures, and fog can create a spooky atmosphere and add to the sense of danger.
Native Alaskan folklore often plays a part. Tales of spirits like the Inupiat's Tupilaq, which is a vengeful spirit created by a shaman, can be incorporated into horror stories. Also, the isolation of small Alaskan communities means that when something strange happens, there's little outside help available. For example, if a strange creature is sighted near a village, it's not like there are police or a large military presence nearby to deal with it immediately. This isolation heightens the fear factor.
Animals can be a common element too. Bears are a real threat in Alaska, and in horror stories, they can be made to seem even more menacing. There are also stories of strange, unknown animals that lurk in the deep forests or along the isolated coastlines. These mysterious beasts add an element of the unknown and horror to the stories.
