The backdrop setting can enhance horror by creating a sense of isolation. For example, an abandoned cabin in the woods means the characters are far from help. It makes the danger seem more immediate. Also, a spooky old castle with its many hidden rooms and passages can create a feeling of being lost and trapped, adding to the horror.
A backdrop like a graveyard at night can enhance horror because it's associated with death. The stillness, the tombstones, and the idea that the dead might not be at rest all contribute. Darkness is also a key factor. A dark alleyway or a pitch - black forest as a backdrop makes it hard to see what's coming, increasing the fear. The unknown is terrifying, and these settings play on that. The setting can also have a history of bad events, like a house where murders took place. This past adds to the current sense of dread.
