What defines Gothic horror?

Gothic horror inherits a 200-year literary tradition of crumbling estates, repressed desire, ancestral curses, and the uncanny return of the past. Atmosphere, architecture, and the weight of history are as important as any monster. Short gothic films use production design and chiaroscuro lighting to conjure centuries of dread in minutes.
