Phantom of the Opera of course has a literary source. (Gaston Leroux) Of course there's the obvious- Dracula & Frankenstein.
J. Sheridan La Fanu wrote great ghostly & Gothic material- Carmilla and many others.
One of my favorite underappreciated authors is Algernon Blackwood. He was adapted more in the radio era, but his story "The Doll" is pretty much the the genesis of all evil doll stories. Rapacini's Daughter has also been adapted.

I agree with you on Blackwood, but Rappacini's Daughter is a Hawthorne story, surprisingly enough.
