Hi,
恐(おそろ)ろしくてならない
恐ろしくて < 恐ろしい(dreadful)
ならない (nothing other than)
→恐ろしくてならない (it is nothing other than just dreadful)
Other examples:
-不思議でならない(it is nothing other than just strange)
-苦痛でならない (it is nothing other than just painful)
I think this structure tends to be used to express rather negative feelings or situations.
I hope this helps.
