Like anything else, it's a tool that can be used well or poorly. Gore is often used poorly as a cheap replacement for terror and atmosphere, which makes the story about as scary as TEH DAY OF ALL TEH BLOD. It can be used well to accent an already scary story, especially if used to play on our fear of the unknown. Inside, a French horror flick from 2007, manages to marry the two concepts REALLY well.

Also, the original Jeff pasta is pretty bad.
