Imagine you're standing in front of a creaky iron gate. A dilapidated-looking mansion looms in the distance, but a light flickers in just one window. It's pouring rain, and you keep hearing strange noises from the woods behind you, so you decide to walk up to the house. You knock, but no one answers, so you push open the door. Inside, you discover a table covered in cobwebs and candelabras. Suddenly, the door slams behind you, and everything goes dark.
You've just entered the embodiment of Gothic Halloween. This style generally seems to involve lots of mist and rain, sprawling abandoned mansions with lights flickering in the windows, looming stained-glass windows, cobweb-covered candelabras, skulls, stone angel sculptures, and the like.
