Main themes I have noticed is the Gothic setting, the Villain, and the Heroes.

The Setting usually consist of nice places during the day yet somehow are horribly dangerous at night. Bitter winters. Nasty monsters just outside the town. Things like that.

The Villain is HUGE in these games. They are usually very overpowered, but have one increadible weakness.

The Heroes, of course, are of great importance. It's best if they are good/pure, but having at least one dark one is a lot of fun.

Throw in some madness, fear, crazy monsters, and at least one sexy vampire seductres...I think you got yourself a good horror game ^^
