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.

Horror RPG taught me about how important it is to take the time to play normality, let the player connect with their character, have fun and light roleplay moment, until that moment when horror steps in.
Player dealing with monsters and having blood up to their knee ends up being epic high fantasy but not horror.
On a more norme activity the movie the descent is a great exemple the first half slowly drift from stressful to frightening, then the second half is girl fighting Gollum in the mud, and turn from frightening to comical
