Keep the killer hidden until he strikes. Don't even let the audience know that the killer's near. Surprise killings are best.
Some eerie music might be fitting, though. Try making the victim look behind them or something, checking in the shadows when they think they hear something, then cut off the music. Then, when the victim thinks it's all safe, strike.
Yes, it's an overused strategy, but it works. And that's exactly why it's used so much.

hey im 13 and a great score always helps, i find that using a dolly for some shots in horrors to go back and reveal something is very supenseful. Use proper movie lights, or at least par 48's so there is no yellow tinge to the final product, always keep white balance consistent, and any good horror starts on a high and just keeps getting higher.

YAY! Homework! : Watch alot of horror films and keep a sharp eye for camera techniques you thought were cool and your able to do and use 'em!
I got my inpiration from M. Night Shyamalan on some of my shots but I did have to make it mine and put my own in there.

Oh quit it.
There are no 14 year olds on here that even have a clue what your talking about, Let alone can provide advice, Or even care.
Pay attention and develop your own technique.

most effective strategy are closeups during suspensful moments with dark backgrounds to give the effect of the audience and actor/actress not being able to fully see his/her surroundings. And it also creates a nasty surprise when he/she turns around and the bringer of their demise is staring them in the face...
