First, think about a dark twist on the concept of an angel. Maybe the angel is corrupted. In DnD, you could start with an angelic being that has fallen from grace due to some ancient curse. For example, it could be an angel who was tasked with protecting a holy relic but failed and was then cursed to spread horror instead. You can describe its appearance as still having some angelic features but with a menacing aura, like tattered wings and a halo that flickers with a sinister light.
Perhaps the path to becoming an angel in the DnD horror story is blocked by a powerful and evil entity. This entity preys on those who seek angelic transformation. It could corrupt the character's mind, filling it with nightmares and false visions of what being an angel is like. The character starts to lose their sanity as they are constantly tormented. They might end up performing evil acts, believing that it is part of the process of becoming an angel, when in reality they are being led astray by this malevolent force.
Once upon a time, in a DND campaign, the party entered an old, decrepit castle. As they walked through the dark hallways, they heard strange whispers. Suddenly, a spectral figure emerged from the shadows. It was a long - dead knight, his eyes filled with hatred. The knight attacked without warning, and his sword seemed to pass through armor and flesh with ease. The party fought back, but every time they landed a blow, the knight just laughed and grew stronger. In the end, only one player managed to escape the castle, forever haunted by the memory of that terrifying encounter.

Once in a DND session, we were exploring an old, abandoned castle. As we entered the dungeon, strange whispers filled the air. My character, a brave knight, suddenly lost all control of his actions. The DM described my character turning on the party and attacking without any reason. It was a total nightmare as we had to fight our own teammate. We were all so shocked and it took a while to figure out how to subdue my character without killing him.
One terrifying encounter could be when the party stumbles upon a haunted mansion. Inside, they face ghosts that can possess their bodies. The players have to constantly make will saves to avoid being controlled, and the feeling of losing control of their characters is truly horrifying.
In a DND horror story I played, we were in a dark forest. There were strange markings on the trees. Our wizard cast a light spell, but it seemed to attract something. A horde of shadowy creatures started to approach. They made these horrible screeching sounds. We quickly huddled together and the cleric tried to cast a protection spell. But the creatures were so fast. We had to use every trick in our book to escape, like using the ranger's tracking skills to find a hidden path.
The DM can use ambient sounds. For example, playing creepy music or the sound of howling wind in the background. It immediately sets a spooky mood. Also, describing the environment in detail. Saying things like 'The walls are slick with an unknown slime, and a cold draft seems to carry whispers of the dead' can make the players feel uneasy.
Sure. There was a party that entered a dark cave. In the cave, there was a strange altar. When one of the players' characters touched it, they were suddenly teleported to a different dimension. This dimension was filled with grotesque monsters that were half - human, half - something unrecognizable. The character had to fight for their life while being constantly chased. They managed to find a way back only by sacrificing a valuable item they had found earlier, but the experience left them and the whole party shaken.
One way to create a spooky atmosphere in a DND cutscene horror story is through sound effects. Use things like creaking doors, howling winds, or strange whispers. Another key is the setting. A dark, abandoned castle or a mist - filled forest can be really creepy.
