Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

One common theme is the supernatural. For example, in stories like 'The Sandman', there are otherworldly beings causing fear. Another theme is the dark side of human nature, as seen in tales where characters make bad decisions or pacts, like in 'Faust'. Madness is also a theme, where the characters' minds are affected by the horror around them.

One famous German horror story is 'The Sandman' by E. T. A. Hoffmann. It involves a creepy character, the Sandman, who is said to steal the eyes of children who don't go to sleep. Another is 'Faust' which has elements of horror in its exploration of a man making a pact with the devil. And then there's 'The Rats in the Walls' by H. P. Lovecraft which, although written by an American, is set in Germany and has a very spooky atmosphere with the idea of rats and the secrets hidden within the walls.

Sure. 'Carmilla' by Sheridan Le Fanu has been popular in German horror circles too. It's about a female vampire who preys on young women. In German horror, 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' is also quite famous. It has a very disturbing and dream - like atmosphere, with a mad doctor and his sleepwalking patient. And then there's 'Nosferatu', the story of a vampire that has inspired many horror movies both in Germany and around the world.

Well, secrecy is often a part of it. The doctor might be hiding some dark practice in a hidden part of their clinic or hospital. Also, a disregard for human life is common. They may see patients as mere subjects for their own twisted purposes rather than as people in need of care. For example, a doctor might keep a patient alive just to continue torturous experiments instead of trying to actually cure them.
