Well, Make sure you have a good setting, if you don't start off mysterious than it won't end very well. Some Horror stories start out calm and get mysterious. I am reading a horror story by R.L. Stine, When the author writes a story, he does a lot of rewriting and editing. Make sure you do that when you write a story.

Why are horror movies scary and suspenseful movies able to freighten me so much?

Horror movies scare you and suspense movies frighten you because that's what they're meant to do. If a horror movie doesn't scare people, then the director didn't do a very good job. Blood, gore, screaming, and axes are scary to most people in the context of a story about a crazed killer.

How does the setting contribute to the horror of the story?

Setting can contribute to a horror story in many ways. Sometimes, the setting is a traditional one - a spooky old house or isolated island or other stereotypical scary place. Sometimes, the setting is an unexpected one, however, such as someone's supposedly-secure home or in an amusement park. It's up to the writer how to have the setting contribute. A good writer can have a scary book set anywhere in the world.
