And fear is a fun thing to work with. Firstly, before establishing anything scary, do let your players know or sense that this what is coming is supposed to be frightful. Then, find a way to "ask" them to comply with the fear - like saying "for it to work, you need to allow yourself to become susceptible to the fear", that kind of stuff. Hypnosis works the same way. Then work on building scary things, things you feel your players would be afraid of. Work on imagery, but equally work on sound - sound, and other senses, are usually scarier than visual.

play with all of the lights off and use candles. Get some sound effects as well.

Get a gun (preferably a shotgun) and clean it while playing. Occasionally point at them with it and make a threat. "Accidentally" shoot a round into the ceiling at one point.
