Try thinking of the location and plot..

And the villian or monster.
And problem(s) that the charaters face.

If you're going to use someone else's characters, why not just write an AU fanfiction?

one thing you could do is research other horror stories/movies to see what works and what doesn't. that should give you a good base of ideas to start from at the very least.

Possibly the most important thing is the atmosphere so if you plan to describe things describe them in detail and with with the right adjectives for example:
"The blood that had long ago ceased flowing from his lifeless festing corpse was splattered along the walls staining them the color of wilting red roses"
compare that to:
"The blood that had once flown from his lifeless body was smeared all over the walls turning them bright cherry red"
Now I ask you which sounds worse?

Honestly? They're both rather wordy. sad
