If you like horror, whether in literature, movies, video games, etc., what do you prefer? Bloodbaths and gore, or subtlety and nothing explicit?

My Take

I like subtle horror the most, but I can appreciate a good bloodbath if it’s well used.

    Subtlety for sure. The scratch in the back of the mind. The shadow in the corner. What is familiar but wrong, somehow, is worse than blood and guts. The closest to that kind of horror is a war movie.
