To me, it looks like the theme is the horror is very setting based. With those movies, much of horror derives from the place as opposed to a person or thing. But more specifically than just a spooky place, a place where our mundane reality and an otherworldly dimension intersect, forming a doorway between the two.
With that in mind, you might try haunted house movies, new ones like The Conjuring, Insidious, The Innkeeper, and Sinister, and classics like The Haunting ('63 version), The Changeling, The Shining, and The Legend of Hell House. I would especially recommend the Grave Encounters films, part 2 strongly features that element that I described above.
