A popular one is the Kraken - like creatures. Sailors in old times used to tell tales of huge tentacled beasts that could pull entire ships under the water.

Some really frightening horror stories include 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King. It plays on our fear of death and the unknown.

Freddy Krueger, who can enter people's dreams and kill them, creates a sense of helplessness as you can't escape even in your sleep. And then there's 'Rosemary's Baby'. The slow realization by Rosemary that something is horribly wrong with her pregnancy and that she's surrounded by a satanic cult is very chilling.

Well, a common horror story is when a doordash driver arrives at a restaurant and the order isn't ready. They have to wait for a long time, like 30 minutes or more. This messes up their whole schedule for other deliveries. Also, there are cases where a customer gives the wrong address.

Some drivers have even had food stolen right out of their hands when they were about to deliver it.
