One key element is the atmosphere. Use descriptive language to create a sense of dread, like describing the air as thick and cold, and the shadows as menacing. Another is the antagonist. It should be truly terrifying, whether it's a supernatural being or a human with a dark side.

One major difference is the length of the plot development. In a series, there is more room for extended plot arcs over multiple installments. For example, a TV series can have a season - long mystery that unfolds gradually. In a novel, the plot usually has to be more tightly contained within the length of the book. Also, in a series, characters can have more complex development across different episodes or books in the series. In a novel, character development is often more focused within the single narrative.

Both require a strong central idea. Whether it's a series like 'Breaking Bad' or a novel like 'To Kill a Mockingbird', there needs to be a core concept that drives the story forward. Also, character motivation is important in both. The characters need to have reasons for their actions, like the complex motives of the characters in the 'Sherlock' series and those in a detective novel.

When plotting a horror novel, the characters' backstories are often overlooked but are very important. A character with a tragic past can add depth to the story. You can also play with different types of horror, such as psychological horror where the fear comes from the characters' minds, or physical horror with lots of gore. Additionally, the plot should have twists and turns. Just when the reader thinks they know what's going on, you throw in a surprise. This keeps them on the edge of their seats. You can also use symbolism, like a broken mirror symbolizing a fractured reality in the horror world.
