What makes a work Gothic is a combination of at least some of these elements:
a castle, ruined or intact, haunted or not,
ruined buildings which are sinister or which arouse a pleasing melancholy,
dungeons, underground passages, crypts, and catacombs which, in modern houses, become spooky basements or attics, a hero whose true identity is revealed by the end of the novel,
horrifying (or terrifying) events or the threat of such happenings
