- A haunted house
- Symbols of death
- A disfigured face/mask
- A screaming victim (usually female, in modern horror they are known as the 'final girl')
- Murder weapon (knife, stake, chainsaw etc)
- Two opposites of good and evil
- Dark places where the evil 'being' lurks e.g. woods, cellar, attic
- Blood and body parts (if the genre is body horror)
