I am refering to the movies like Jeepers creepers, mosquitoman and The Phantom. Those terifying part, when the person changes the physical appearance to the monster.

I think a lot of them come from popular culture and urban legends or stories they hear. Some of it is just sheer creativity.
It all depends what seems like it would work as an idea and in the cases of terrifying parts what would be a good visual effect.

All my films come right from inside my head. Being co-owner of a horror company (http://cinemaeulogies.com/), I write reviews, so I see ALOT of different types of horror films. As I write, I think of all the cliche's and how many times I've yeld at the screen. I incorporate that into the films I write. I write the type of things I wish I would of seen on screen. The good guy rarely wins in my films. Currently I am writing a zombie film unlike anything you've ever seen. I love the zombie sub-genre, but there's always something in those films I don't like. I aim to fix those type of things. I write films from a horror fan's perspective. I think "what would horror fans, like myself, want to see happen?"

Some horror movies are adapted from books by truly great writers. In those cases, however, the horror writers are working from one of three sources; psychological cases, true life cases, or drug induced states.
For most of the modern horror movies, the writers take inspiration from real crime, from folk tales, or they take elements from other stories.
The type of horror movies I really hate are the really bad Sci-fi channel productions. Predictable plots, plodding story, horrible acting from film school seniors, and really bad endings (usually setting us a sequel).

Haven't u ever had a nightmare so terrible that u remember it even after a few days?
Horror Writers just have a bit more imagination, memory and creativity, also they have watched a lot of horror movies and read a lot of books.

The world is full of legends. Each legend may have different versions in several languages. These writers are amazing because they are creative and critical thinkers. Their imagination knows no bounds. And they simply do not get tired doing their thing. They could easily transform their ideas into images.
Of course, they are as normal as we do.

To write horror stories you have to reach down into the darkest depths of your soul and drag out those things that scare you the most. If you can do that and write them convincingly then you are the next Stephen King.
