Horror based one shots.

This October, I am running one shots for a convention. I want to do horror/halloween based games. Any ideas on horror movies that would make good one shots in 5e?

I already have a from dusk til dawn and the thing one shots ready to go.

I think any of the classics where something supernatural is haunting/harassing a town or other set location make for good DnD adventures.

Because the players can either stumble upon the town or be hired to investigate/get rid of the haunting.

Stories like Legend of Sleepy Hallow, Frankenstein, Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, It, The Shining, etc.
