Well, in 'The Hunger Games', the whole setting is terrifying. The districts are oppressed, and the tributes are thrown into an arena where they not only have to face other kids who are trying to kill them but also various deadly traps and muttations. There's no real escape, and the Capitol's control over the whole process, using it as a form of entertainment, is just spine - chilling. It shows how cruel humanity can be when power is misused and people are dehumanized.
The Hunger Games is a scary story mainly because of the extreme violence and the sense of hopelessness. The tributes are in a kill - or - be - killed situation. They are constantly in danger from the other participants, the environment, and the Capitol's unpredictable rules. And the fact that it's a lottery system to choose the tributes means that anyone could be thrust into this nightmare at any time, which adds to the horror.
