Gore is scary when used right. If put in a place where it seems to have a gratuidous effect, it can give shock to the reader. Like so:

"Sometimes, you just have to wonder where the days have gone. Now and then you can miss something in the blink of an eye. And I did blink. And I did miss it.

Oh, how I wanted to see, but the remnants strewn about the tracks was enough proof for me that the ropes did hold."
