Yes, those other examples make sense. However this is a horror themed campaign. At least the way I intend to run it.I personally go the entire other way to the OP.
If Im running a military themed campaign. I expect and would encourage soldiers and warriors. A larceny themed campaign, thieves. A wilderness campaign, druids and rangers.
If I was running an undead heavy campaign, I would not only disclose that fact to the players, but actively encourage undead fighting classes.
Dracula is less fun if it’s Van Helsing has trained everyone before it starts. These characters being totally out of their depth is what makes it interesting. Sure once the threat starts to become apparent they learn and develop tools to combat the threat but not in the early stages.
