You can make a horror story without any "really" supernatural element - the things that human beings are actually recorded to do to each other can be so dreadfully evil that it seems supernatural just because we can't really envision such things happening without the narrator's help. Read a few cases of sadists torturing their prey or about what happened in war-torn countries or in Russian or CIA labs during the Cold War or what mafia can do to people... basically, they can easily beat any vampire or werewolf by a mile or two. | |
