Horror ideas

In one of our lessons my group were discussing a few ideas for our final piece. And i think that we might use it in our final piece as i can just imagine it being like that in a proper horror film. The idea was one of us is walking either on the road or path near a few lights and then all of a sudden they hear a noise and look back but their is noone their. But to make this even more effective we would have a handheld camera following them and then when they look back the camera angle is over their shoulder or a location shot showing what shes looking at. But their would be nothing their. This idea sounds typical horror, thats why i feel that it works.
