What do you guys think is the best lenght to convey a horror story?

I think horror usually works best in the short story format around 15-70 pages, with enough space for the author to establish a suitable atmosphere, plant some interesting ideas and get out while the thing is still pulsing with dread. No more, no less. Just a microcosm of horror. However Langan's Fisherman made me think that it might also work well in a more expansive lenght of about 200 -300 pages. I think any more hinders the effect of the story.
