There are several stories that are truly terrifying. For example, 'The Hitch - Hiker' has an element of the unknown and the strange. It makes you wonder about the people you might meet on the road. 'The Sound Machine' also has a creepy undertone. It shows how our perception of the world can be so limited and there could be things happening around us that we are completely unaware of, which is a very spooky thought.
