Given the season, I thought I'd ask.
It's not conventional horror, but for me 'Where you going' Where you been?' by Joyce Carol Oates is the story to beat, and I've read a lot of Stephen King, Clive Barker, Shirley Jackson, and others.
That story builds tension in a way that I haven't really experienced from The Lottery, The Yellow Wallpaper, or King short stories.
In case you've never read it:
