Zombies can be used effectively. They represent mindless, relentless hordes that are driven by a basic instinct to consume. The idea of being surrounded by a slow - moving but unstoppable mass of the undead is terrifying. You can have them overrunning a small town or chasing the protagonist through an abandoned city.
Another possible monster could be the Tokoloshe. It's a dwarf - like creature that is often associated with mischief and evil deeds. It can enter people's houses at night and cause all sorts of trouble, from stealing things to causing nightmares or even harming people physically.
Gods and monsters are significant in horror storytelling as they create a sense of the unknown. Monsters, with their strange forms and behaviors, make the audience feel uneasy. Gods, especially those with dark or ambiguous natures, add a layer of mystery and danger. For example, in Greek mythology - inspired horror, the gods' wrath can lead to catastrophic events for the mortals.
In horror stories, gods can often be portrayed as malevolent or indifferent. For example, in some ancient myth - based horror, a god might demand cruel sacrifices. Monsters, on the other hand, are usually the direct source of fear. They can have grotesque appearances, like the werewolves with their half - human, half - beast forms. Their actions are unpredictable and violent, which creates a sense of dread for the characters in the story and the readers alike.
Werewolves. These half - human, half - wolf creatures are full of rage during the full moon. The transformation from a normal human to a blood - thirsty beast is a great source of horror. The idea that anyone could potentially be a werewolf, hiding their true nature, adds an element of mystery and danger.
In 'The Shining', the Overlook Hotel could be considered a 'broken monster' of sorts. It has a life of its own, driving people insane and causing them to do horrible things. It's not a traditional monster but in the context of horror novels, it fits as a malevolent force that is broken in the sense that it has a twisted, evil existence.
