Turned into a movie...
#3
The upcoming film Sweeney Todd looks like the perfect example of a horror Gothic. It's based on a musical about a murderous barber, but I believe the musical is based on some Sweeney Todd stories which in turn were based on a real-life killer.

I've never seen the musical, but know the story and have heard the soundtrack. I'm sure it will be bloody, but, if done correctly, it's also a tragic story of a lost love. Benjamin Barker is wrongly imprisoned by an evil judge who then destroys his family. He returns only to find his family gone. He goes insane and becomes Sweeney Todd in order to exact revenge.

Another Johnny Depp/Tim Burton horror gothic is Sleepy Hollow. In fact, I think almost any Tim Burton film belongs in the Gothic category. He is the only true Gothic filmmaker that I know of.
