- Which basic elements of horror didn't you include on your list?
The basical elements we didn't include were: Setting in a castle; an ancient prophecy; Omens, portents and visions; overwrought emotion; a women threatened by a powerful male or just a woman in distress...
But we talk about an atmosphere of mystery and suspense, inexplicable events, the metonymy of gloom and horror (we talked about like rainy and windy places, doors grating on rusty hinges, ruins of buildings, the darkness...).
