Not necessarily. It could be a more mysterious or even a heartwarming story. For example, it could be a story where the 'thing' at the end of the bed turns out to be a beloved pet that has passed away but comes back in a spiritual form to comfort the owner. However, in many cases, especially in traditional folklore, it does lean towards the horror side as it often involves an unknown and potentially menacing presence.
The 'thing in the grave' could also be a cursed object or a body that has been possessed by dark forces. The horror might stem from the unknown nature of what lies beneath the soil. It could be a mystery that gradually unfolds as the story progresses, with the characters trying to figure out what exactly is in the grave and how to stop it from causing harm.

The uncertainty. In 'the thing horror story', the entity can take on any form. You never really know who or what is the 'thing'. It could be your friend, your colleague. This lack of trust and the constant fear of being deceived by someone or something that looks normal but is actually a monster is what makes it so terrifying.
The scariest thing could be the loss of control. As the '69 countdown' proceeds, things start to go wrong. You can't stop it. You might be trapped in a room where the temperature is dropping rapidly, and strange symbols are appearing on the walls. And when it hits zero, you don't know what horror awaits, whether it's being dragged into a dark void or something even worse.
The unknown. You don't know what's on the other side. It could be a monster, a ghost, or a deranged person. Just that small circle of the peephole holds so much mystery and potential danger.
The scariest thing could be a mutated fish with huge teeth and glowing red eyes that attacks the other fish and even tries to break out of the aquarium to reach the humans.
