When i write horror, i usuallyu am in a dark mindset. i have a lot of bitterness and disgust, and i revel in it. If i still feel like writing something dark when i'm not in a bad mood, i find music and books help.
Favorites for inspiration:
My old Ravenloft stuff (yes, I played D&D)
HP Lovecraft
Nine INch Nails
Slower Marilyn Manson (Cryptorchid is great)
The background music fromt he original quake (compliments of Trent Reznor)
I listened to the album that Trent and David Bowie did together with my old room mat eonce (i guess the whole thing was about a serial killer). I ended up having a nightmare that night which i have been re-writing into a screenplay about a pedophile/killer. His kill count blows away anyone in any movie (or real life) because he is quiet and keeps to himself.
Just remember this one day when you hear the name Darrel Heights mentioned with Michael Meyers and Freddy Kreuger..
