insparation and history of the genre

the type of horror im doing is gothic but very upto date rather than being old or set in an old place the films i took insperation from are house on haunted hill and 13 ghosts. these films both contain the ghost killer type of sub horror. in the house on haunted hill it shows split screen disapering ghosts same as 13ghosts and my opening sequence will play on this heavily. house on haunted hill the first make was one of the first where you could see the ghosts and yet ther was still alot of mystery shrouding it i will try to recreat this in my project.
