Can you recommend some scary gory stories?

The story of the old mansion on the hill is quite gory and scary. It was once owned by a wealthy family. But one day, the entire family was brutally murdered. No one knew who did it. Ever since then, those who visited the mansion reported seeing the family's mutilated bodies walking around, with blood dripping from their wounds. It's a place that sends shivers down your spine just thinking about it.

It depends on your tolerance for gore. For some, it's moderately gory with elements that could shock. But for others who are used to horror, it might not seem overly so.

One gory short story is 'The Cask of Amontillado' by Edgar Allan Poe. It involves a man being walled up alive in a catacomb, which is quite a gory and disturbing situation. Another is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' also by Poe, where the narrator's obsession leads to a brutal murder and his subsequent descent into madness with the sound of the victim's heartbeat haunting him.

Sure. 'The Backrooms' is a great one. It's about getting lost in an endless maze of yellow - tinted rooms. It's more about the sense of being trapped and the eerie, unending nature of the place rather than gore. Another is 'Candle Cove'. It focuses on a strange, disturbing children's show that only a few remember. It has a very creepy atmosphere without relying on excessive gore.

They appeal because they allow us to explore our fears in a safe way. We can experience the horror through the story without actually being in danger. Also, the gore can sometimes be a way to heighten the sense of danger and make the story more immersive. For example, a story about a vampire attack is scarier when it includes details of blood and torn flesh. It makes the threat seem more real.

Well, 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King also falls into the gory horror category. The idea of the dead coming back in a not - so - pleasant way is really gory. And then there's 'The Exorcist'. The possession scenes and the physical manifestations of the demon are quite gory and terrifying.

The mystery aspect in these stories is also appealing. In many scary gory stories, there are puzzles to solve, like who the killer is or what the origin of the horror is. It engages the mind while also scaring. For example, in slasher movies where there's a serial killer on the loose, viewers are constantly trying to figure out the pattern or the identity of the killer. And the gore adds to the shock value that makes it more memorable.

One is 'Attack on Titan'. It has a very engaging story about humanity's fight for survival against Titans. The battles are intense and often gory, but it's all in the context of a well - developed post - apocalyptic world and a complex plot full of twists and turns.

One of the most gory graphic novels is 'Crossed' by Garth Ennis. It depicts a post - apocalyptic world filled with extreme violence and grotesque scenes. The characters in it face all kinds of cruel and bloody situations. Another one is 'Preacher' also by Garth Ennis. It has its fair share of gory moments, especially when dealing with the dark and violent nature of some of its characters. And 'The Boys' by Garth Ennis as well, which shows a lot of brutal and gory superhero - related violence.

Sure. 'Pet Sematary' by Stephen King is quite gory. It has some very dark and disturbing moments, especially when it comes to the resurrected beings. The idea of death being defied in such a gory and unnatural way is what makes this novel so horrifying.
