Another great one could be Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery'. It's a disturbing story set in a small town where an annual lottery is held, but instead of winning a prize, the 'winner' is stoned to death. It shows how blindly following tradition can lead to immoral and cruel acts.
I think weekends or late at night can be good. Weekends give you more leisure, and late at night adds to the creepy atmosphere. But it's really up to you and your preferences.
It's hard to say which is the absolute best. 'American Horror Story: Murder House' is highly regarded for kicking off the series with a creepy and engaging storyline.
Richard Matheson's 'I Am Legend' could be a good choice too. It's about a man who believes he is the last human alive in a world filled with vampires. The loneliness and the constant threat from the undead create a great sense of horror and suspense.
It depends on personal preference. American Horror Story can be extremely terrifying as it builds up the horror over an entire season. The slow - burn and complex storylines can really get under your skin. However, American Horror Stories can also be very spooky with its short, sharp bursts of horror in each episode. If you like a more gradual and in - depth scare, American Horror Story might be scarier. But if you prefer quick, intense scares, American Horror Stories could be it.
American Horror Story is an anthology series where each season has a different self - contained horror story with a new setting, characters, and often a different time period. American Horror Stories, on the other hand, seems to be more of a collection of short horror tales that might be more self - contained within individual episodes. For example, in American Horror Story, a season could be centered around a haunted house, while American Horror Stories might have an episode just about a single spooky event or entity.
