Alternative Locations: While the {{Uberwald}} and {{Ruritania}} are the frequent visting locations for haunted castles, there is no wrong in mixing up where to set up a castle full of spooks.
** Since Europe is a gold mine for castles to haunt, stories can take the trope in a whole different location. There's always the possibility to take the castle to the GrimUpNorth in Scandanavian lands. Or perhaps you want to take the castle to the British Isles, where CampbellCountry is ripe for the picking when it comes to haunts and folklore unique to this country.
** Perhaps you want to scout out haunted castles on the other side of the globe. Maybe you want to put a darker take on Middle Eastern lands in ArabianNightsDays. Perhaps you want to sneak in darker elements in MysticalIndia, what with the variety of monsters and myths to look into. Or perhaps you want to explore the FarEast, be it China or Japan, and investigate a plethora of mythic beings you can put a horror take on.

Although, if someone wants to take the trope in a whole different location within Europe, there's always the possibility to take the castle to the GrimUpNorth, perhaps in Scandanavian lands. Or perhaps you want to take the castle to the British Isles, where CampbellCountry is ripe for the picking when it comes to haunts and folklore unique to this country.

The HauntedCastle is an absolute must, as this setting is the focal point.
As for what to expect in a castle with spooks and thrills, you'll want to make sure the castle is in a ClosedCircle with perhaps an OminousFog or [[DontGoInTheWoods dense forests]] to make it harder to escape it...or at the very least, past a small town full of superstitious residents.
Decorating the castle comes in many flavors: some can be covered in CobwebOfDisuse or be an ExtremelyDustyHome.
