Continue your story in a slow, creepy manner. Take time for some pauses or questions from your attentive listeners. At the final "big" shocker moment of your story take a long pause then all of a sudden turn off the flashlight and yell the ending or make whatever scary sound your story requires. If you have a friend hiding out nearby, have them jump out and scare the listeners.
