I want more of this type of horror. Why does all horror have to be modern or sci-fi?

We have so much history we could be exploring with it! Off the top of my head you could have...

A squadron of Roman soldiers, lost in a haunted forest, struggling to survive/escape as spirits pick them off one by one.

A young Irish sheep herder who accidentally wanders into the Fae realm.

A pair of pre-colonial Native Americans out on a vision quest who become hunted by a skinwalker.

A trader during the Islamic Golden Age encountering an evil djinn.

Monks in ancient China band together to protect their village from a dragon.

Ancient Sumerian demons.

Aztec shamans performing dark rituals.

Pacts with Babylonian gods in ancient Babylon.
