Sure, atomsphere is very important, but that doesn't mean you should let your characters become underdeveloped cocoons ripe for the slaughter or haunting or whatever spooky thing plagues them.

Personally, I would rather read a story with a simple, grey atmosphere with characters bursting with emotion and color than read a long description about trees, the sky, or how "smooth" the grain on a table was, and then dot the story with unmeaningful characters that have no point other than to be killed in the end.

I guess it is a matter of personal reading preferences. But still, I'll get 1 out of every 60 or so pastas that have SOMEWHAT developed characters.
