There is also 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator's descent into madness as he is haunted by the old man's vulture - like eye is quite terrifying. The story's use of psychological horror makes it a great read for Halloween, with its dark and disturbing themes.

One great Halloween short story is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' by Washington Irving. It features Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman, creating a spooky atmosphere set in a small town on Halloween. The story is full of mystery and superstition.
