In Ovid's "Metamorphoses", gods are responsible for altering the physical forms of earthly creatures. Ovid doesn't state it in the introductory lines, but the epic itself makes it clear that gods do it almost whimsically, of their own accord and for their own purposes. Kafka never says who transformed Gregor into a vermin. He even uses a passive construction: Gregor "found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin". A faceless, nameless force seems to be responsible for this unexpected occurrence. Kafka makes it look almost absurd, as Gregor's world is all too real, so no gods or any supernatural force can be involved. However different the two works are, one thing is similar - people are completely powerless and helpless. All they can do is to suffer or annihilate themselves.

Well it depends on the types of horror you'd like to create
If you want to create a psychological thriller-type of horror, try to tap into what people fear most deep down inside of them.
Not clowns, or heights, or sharks, but what would happen if you felt as if you were being watched and it turned you insane!
Other horror/fear could be manifested in the design of your characters.
Give them unsettling features like huge eyes and tiny pupils, sharp teeth, unnatural face or body proportions
Or simply do the classic horror with unnexpected action and killing!
There is so much to choose from.
In order to make your anime like "Another," you need to have the element of the "unknown." Create an entity, a phenomemnon, or event that is unexpected and still trying to be discovered or explained. Additionally, there is gore and very very detailed descriptions and depictions of deaths.
