Robert Louis Stevenson. Before that, Hinduism. Although, in more modern horror, Urban horror basically began in the forties with stories like Smoke Ghost by Fritz Leiber that are about civilization bringing on madness and a heavy focus on the killer inside us. Examples of movies might include the Lodger and Hangover Square.
