I did finally remember on story that still scares the you-know-what out of me. That is not a novel but the movie "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark", the early 70's movie not the 2010 movie of the same title. Haven't seen the new movie. But that 70's version had me genuinely so creeped out I did not want to watch it but I could not stop because it was such a great story and just based in enough reality that it felt plausible. And that ending, holy freaking gaud!! To this day I find myself freaked out by certain noises at night.
There was another movie called Gargoyles which came out about the same time that I first saw on late night, mid-night, movie. It too was filmed in a way that made it feel real. Steven King has nothing on either of those movies even if there are basically B-movies they worked and worked too damned well.
