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.

I like David Cronenberg’s approach. Make it visually horrific, but so alien that you don’t know how to visually parse it and it just overloads your brain into ‘blech’ territory.
Loved The Thing and Videodrome for this style of horror.
Otherwise, give me omnipotent horror. Things like Oculus really get me.
