Literary Influences in Horror Films
 

By "literary influences in horror films," I don't mean books that were made into movies, but classic literary horror/Gothic themes, aesthetics, and motifs that have an obvious influence on certain films.

Example: Guillermo del Toro's CRIMSON PEAK, which is obviously influenced by classic Gothic romance---in the very least, the Bronte sisters (WUTHERING HEIGHTS and JANE EYRE) meets Edgar Allan Poe (especially "The Fall of the House of Usher").

I couldn't help but see Ralph Ellison's INVISIBLE MAN in Jordan Peele's GET OUT...https://www.grandmasbigteeth.com/bla...Peeles-GET-OUT
