It would be challenging. Stephen King does it sometimes- see Jerusalem's Lot (mentioned above). I think the best way to do it would be to just totally immerse yourself in old literature of this type and make your mind just go there. Do you like Shakespere? I just saw a production of Macbeth, definitely a horror story complete with ghosts, witches, murder, and utter insanity (But in this version the "foul and black midnight hags" were hot young girls acting sexy.  Weird (pun intended), but, I have to admit I do like hot young girls acting sexy)  };)
