One creepy sea monster story is about the Kraken. It was said to be a gigantic, tentacled beast that could sink ships. Sailors feared it greatly as it was rumored to lurk in the deep ocean and suddenly rise to attack vessels.

For creepy eldritch monster stories, consider 'The Haunter of the Dark'. It's about a cursed church and the malevolent entity that haunts it. The description of the monster in this story is really chilling. In 'The Rats in the Walls', while the rats are a major part of the horror, there are also underlying eldritch elements that suggest something far more sinister. 'The Shadow over Innsmouth' is another good one. It has a unique take on half - human, half - monster creatures that live in a decaying seaside town, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

A creepy animation story is 'Monster House'. In this, a group of kids suspect that their neighbor's house is actually a living, breathing monster. The animation does a great job of making the house seem menacing. Also, 'Watership Down' can be considered a bit creepy. It's about a group of rabbits trying to find a new home, but they face many dangerous and often quite disturbing situations along the way, like the threat of predators and the overall sense of danger in their journey.

One popular creepy pasta story is 'Slenderman'. It features a tall, faceless figure in a black suit that stalks people, often children. Another is 'Jeff the Killer' with his pale, grinning face and the phrase 'Go to sleep'. Then there's 'Ben Drowned', which involves a haunted Majora's Mask cartridge.

Another is 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Jack Skellington, from Halloweentown, discovers Christmas and tries to bring his own version of it to his world. The unique character designs and the dark, twisted take on Christmas make it a creepy - ish but much - loved story. The music also adds to the overall atmosphere.

Mountain climbers and local villagers sometimes say they've spotted a large, hairy, man - like creature in the Himalayas. In Japan, there are stories of the Kappa, a water - dwelling monster that looks like a child with a turtle shell on its back and a beak - like mouth. It's said to pull people into the water.

The Chupacabra is a well - known one. It's a creature that has been reported mainly in Latin American regions. It's said to attack livestock, especially goats, and suck their blood. The descriptions vary from a small, hairless dog - like creature to a more reptilian - looking monster.

The Loch Ness Monster is one of the most famous. Its supposed existence has fascinated people for decades. The blurry photos and eyewitness reports keep the legend alive. Another is Bigfoot.

The Chupacabra is also well - known, especially in Hispanic cultures due to its attacks on livestock.

The story of 'Bloody Mary' is also well - known among kids. The idea is that if you stand in a dark bathroom, say 'Bloody Mary' three times in front of a mirror, a ghostly figure might appear. It gives kids a spooky feeling as it involves the mystery of the mirror and the unknown apparition that could potentially show up.
