Also, if the dinosaur is intelligent and seems to be hunting the kids deliberately. For instance, if it can track their scent or outwit them. And the setting of the story, like a spooky, abandoned place full of secrets and hidden corners where the dinosaur could be lurking, all contribute to making it really scary.
