Location and surroundings are important especially on a horror film, you want to find an area like aboundand buildings or a forest because of the isolation, atmosphere, and the impact of it. Depending on how run down the building is could make the horror more intense.

Sound in horror helps build up suspence of the situation of what's going on in a scene. It could help build up a scare effect when the moment seems right for a scare! adding in some eerie sounds could be great for putting something doesn't sound right or something frightful about to happend. As for example when you hide behind a door and wait for your victim to pass by, and you jump and yell out "Boo!", It'll most likely be the sound and appearance that scared the victim off frightfully.
