Well, when watching a  work of fiction I've always been the type of person that finds the more minimalistic a horror scene is the more I find it scary and disturbing. Jump scares only work for a second before I get over it and I could easily watch a women being gutted alive in the goriest fashion in a movie and not bat an eye but the moment you start adding levels of minimalism or obscure what is actually happening that’s when it starts to bother me. I'm also a person who learns, understands, and comprehends things from a more conceptual and theoretical standpoint, my favorite subjects are things like philosophy and quantum theory and I like to write stories that meld the two together because of how hand in hand they are. All in all the more blatant the scary thing is in a work of fiction the less I'm likely to actually be scared of it so I tend not to count them. I personally found the one scene with Mikoto’s hand over the monitor that got splattered in blood during the death of MISAKA 10031 more disturbing than the entire series of Elfen Leid (except the scene where they were beating the puppy that was just F#cked up.)  So yes I’m very much a conceptual type person and a lot of the things that were mentioned weren’t all that disturbing or scary to me but I'm also kind of a demented person who has a disturbingly black sense of humor so I may just be in the minority on this one.
