Hey guys! I am looking to (for the first time ever in four years GM'ing...) write my own module! It's going to be horror-themed, since that is the kind of stuff which always worked best for me and my players while running campaigns (The Sanitarium and Foxglove Manor from the Skinsaw Murders come to mind).
Now, since I am looking for some inspiration I am planning to maybe run one or two great horror-modules to see what does and doesn't work for me and my players. Do you guys have any suggestions? I am also planning on getting the Horror Adventures book by the way! Thanks!

Carrion Crown #1 (The Haunting of Harrowstone) is a very thematically appropriate horrific adventure. Of the Carrion Crown AP, it is really the only one I would lump in Horror (maaaaybe book 4 Wake of the Watcher) as the rest of the AP is pretty generic monster movie trope checklists. Harrowstone has possession, gruesomeness, and a killer scythe that hunts the party. My only complaint with it is how much more powerful the end boss (aptly named "The Splatterman") is than the party, and how its entry in the book pretty well tells you to pull punches to avoid a TPK.

Then there's the brand new Pathfinder Module called Gallows of Madness. It's actually three thematically linked horror adventures that you can play as one-shots, as a linear mini-campaign, or as a sandbox because they're all set in and around the same town. The first part is urban investigation, the second one is a wilderness adventure, and in the third one you explore an abandoned estate with a haunted reputation.
I wrote the third part, so I'm a little biased, but I'm really looking forward to running it for my group in the near future. :)
