Do titles of short stories and essays get put in quotes or underlined?

It depends on how they are published. If they are published in a compilation (many essays in one book, or many short stories in one book), then you put the title of the short story or essay in quotation marks, followed by the italicized name of the publication where it is compiled. If the book or essay is published by itself (some are published this way if they are popular enough) then it is the only title, and you would italicize it.

How should you write an essay of a short horror story?

One would write an essay of a horror story in the same way you'd write any essay. But, first an essay IS a short 'story,' memo, report, etc. An essay begins with what you're going to tell in a 'catch-em' sort of way to get the reader's attention. Then you tell the story, ending with reference to the beginning of what you told the reader with the wind up, or punch. In other words it is like the military term. Tell them what you're going to tell 'em, tell them, then tell them what you told 'em.
