A mood board is a collection of images and other media forms to create an idea. My mood board for a thriller/horror would consist of these.
Mirrors. Even though I don't have a phobia of mirrors, I still find them incredibly unnerving as however irrational it is, a reflection could morph into anything. Moreover, as shown in the photo, there could always be the possibility that your reflection has a mind of it's own. This idea has been exploited by the horror film Mirrors as people are killed by their own reflections.
The fear of the dark concerns me and it's a potent idea for a thriller as it could be explored as what is hiding in the dark or how empty the dark is. Also, the fear of the dark is common and is quite a primal fear and this is often exploited by horrors and thrillers as its gives protagonists easy get aways and can scare and audience in many ways. For example, synchronous sound could portray something on a black screen that is there but the audience 'can't see'.
