You are on the right track.
You are seriously on the right track. Now, all you gotta do is go back a little farther, maybe see "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," the original "13 Ghosts" and the original "House on Haunted Hill," and while you're at it, don't stop there; go back to the 1930's (and farther if possible) and see all the older stuff you can. Put yourself in the mindframe of the audiences who saw those films when they were new, and imagine how they reacted to them. The 1931 "Frankenstein" scared the gee-whillikers out of people when it came out. All that old stuff is still scary.
With a little bit of study, pretty soon you'll be so far ahead of your buddies, it won't even be funny!
