In order to be scary it must contain some sort of previous disaster. Like a weather worn house, etc. You must place gruesome objects around you. Picture them, describe them, random thoughts actually work well.
For example:
Nighttime always scared me. Especially nighttime and an old house. Noises, Creatures, and an active imagination can make for a scary place. I looked around and saw the most disgusting things. A half-eaten rat lay on the floor, like a moldy hot dog, split down the middle. Blood had dried and flies had picked the muscle tissue halfway clean.

Place thoughts like sentences like so:
Run. Run! I wouldn't budge.

When people read thoughts, they see their own feelings displayed. Relation is a good "hook".

These links are to give you ideas, anyway there's nothing wrong with a little paraphrasing, is there?

A paraphrase is an indirect quotation. It must be documented because it relates in your own words and style the thoughts you have borrowed from another person. Paraphrases are more flexible than quotations. They fit more smoothly into your text, and you can express your own interpretations as you paraphrase.

Y ou have stumbled into my Lair. Here, give me your hand and I will lead you through the dark. Why, you're shivering! Are you cold? ... or is it not the chill in the air that makes you tremble? This is a place of darkness indeed, to its very depths, and I'm not speaking of the mere absence of light.

how about you are the only person left on the planet, and everyone else is dead around you...even animals are dead...everything is destroyed...you walk up to an ocean...and strange creatures start to move and come out of the water slowly...like creation is begining all over again...yet you dont know why you are the only one left...then what if the corses of all the dead humans start to move...and do weird things like dance with each other and sing; even though they dont have souls and they are just empty bodies...and when you look at them...they stare through you...with big smiles...and they seem to walk slow...but when they get about 10 feet from you...they are fast as lightning...you come up with the rest....lol

Close your eyes and imagine the absolute most frightening thing FOR YOU! Everyone has different fears. Imagine the most frightening details.... time of day .... weather.... a phone ringing or the sound of a creaking floor.

You can do this assignment yourself so get motivated!

How Can I describe your scariest setting?

And if you would use it it would be plagiarism...

... if you would get caught at it, wouldn't that be scary?
