Research on setting

I have been doing some research into some more opening scenes for our thriller film. I looked at a few different films which had very different settings so i thought of places that are typically scary. The ideas that i thought of were castles, dungeons, attics, basements, underground, coffin and also a forest although i do feel this is used to much. I was also thinking of maybe having a different style to other thriller films and have it set in somewhere you would never think of such as in middle of a city in the day etc.
