Can you recommend some long scary horror stories?

'It' by Stephen King is also a long and terrifying horror story. Set in the fictional town of Derry, a group of kids face a shape - shifting evil entity that often takes the form of a clown named Pennywise. It preys on their fears, and the story jumps between their childhood experiences and their return to the town as adults to face the same evil again.

The 'Amityville Horror' is also a well - known long scary story. Based on a supposed true story, a family moves into a house with a violent past. They experience all sorts of paranormal activity, from strange noises and apparitions to objects moving on their own. The family's psychological and physical torment in the face of the unknown is what makes this story so terrifying.

One scary horror story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who is driven mad by the old man's 'vulture - like' eye and ends up killing him. Then he hears the old man's heart still beating under the floorboards.

One famous horror long story is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. It tells the story of the vampire Dracula who travels from Transylvania to England to spread his curse. The detailed descriptions of his powers and the spooky settings like his castle are truly terrifying.

Another is 'The Shining' by Stephen King. It's about a family that moves into an isolated hotel for the winter. The hotel has a dark past and the father slowly descends into madness, while the family is haunted by various supernatural elements. It's a long and gripping horror tale.

One long horror story is 'The Shining' by Stephen King. It tells the story of a family who becomes caretakers of an isolated hotel during the off - season. Strange things start to happen as the father succumbs to the hotel's dark and evil forces.

A long horror story that I like is 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King. In this story, there's a burial ground with strange powers. When a family moves near it, they discover the terrifying secrets it holds. The idea of the dead coming back in a wrong way is really spooky. Also, 'Rosemary's Baby' by Ira Levin is a great long horror read. It's about a young woman who suspects that her unborn baby is part of a Satanic plot, creating a sense of dread throughout the story.

One scary long ghost story is 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James. It's about a young governess who takes care of two children in a large, isolated estate. She begins to see apparitions and suspects that the children are being haunted or possessed. The story builds a sense of dread as the governess tries to protect the children from the unknown forces. The ambiguity in the story, whether the ghosts are real or just a product of the governess's imagination, adds to its scariness.

The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde is a great long scary ghost story. It tells about an American family who moves into a haunted English castle. The ghost there tries to scare them but ends up in comical situations at first. However, as the story progresses, it gets spookier. Another one is The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. It's about a governess who starts to see apparitions at the estate where she works, and it's full of psychological horror. There's also 'Dracula' which has elements of the undead and the spooky castle setting that gives a long and terrifying experience.

There's the story 'The Monkey's Paw'. A family gets a magical monkey's paw that can grant three wishes. They wish for money, but it comes at the cost of their son's life. It's a very short but extremely scary story that shows how greed can lead to unexpected and terrifying consequences.
