Some great horror mysteries include 'Rosemary's Baby' by Ira Levin. It's about a young woman who suspects that her unborn baby is part of a Satanic plot. 'The Shining' by Stephen King is a classic. The mystery lies in the hotel's secrets and the strange things that start to happen to the family staying there. Also, 'Psycho' by Robert Bloch has a lot of mystery and horror, especially with the character of Norman Bates and his motel.
Horror mysteries create suspense through their settings. For example, in a spooky old mansion like in 'The Haunting of Hill House', the creaky floors and dark corridors immediately make you feel on edge. The unknown also plays a big part. When the characters don't know what's causing the strange noises or disappearances, it makes the readers or viewers wonder and be in suspense.

Another similarity is the presence of mysterious and often menacing characters. In 'The Mysteries of Udolpho', there are characters like Montoni whose motives are unclear and actions are intimidating. Victorian horror novels are full of such characters. Just think of Mr. Hyde in Robert Louis Stevenson's 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' who is a source of great fear.
It influenced the use of setting. 'The Mysteries of Udolpho' popularized the use of large, imposing, and often mysterious buildings like castles. Victorian horror novels then often used similar settings such as old mansions or decaying estates. For example, many horror stories were set in spooky old houses with hidden passages and rooms.
