But ghosts, goblins, witches, and werewolves would not be half as scary if they didn't have the right backdrop in which to weave their spells and stalk their prey.
Today's post features three of my favorite spooky settings.
1) The windswept moors at night.
2) Caves
As someone who is claustrophobic, I find caves utterly horrifying. But also fascinating. Caves are nature's labyrinths - mysterious, beautiful and chock full of critters that want to eat you.
3) The gothic manor (of course!)
What locations make the best frights for you?
