How far may I go with Horror?

I'm curious about the limits of this genre of RP on this site, I know we can't do gore, but what about everything else? With NSFW it's always just been "If you wouldn't let your kids see it then don't post it" but with Horror I don't really know the boundaries of it, like... Is death allowed? How descriptive might I be allowed to be with the death if it were? How creepy am I allowed to write the monsters? Am I allowed to use blood? 

There's a bunch of questions I have on it and I'd like to know if there's any rule of thumb for it.

I think that your "If you wouldn't let your kids see it then don't post it" rule would apply here as well. Just because something's not necessarily gory doesn't mean it's perfectly safe for all audiences to view. You should be aware of if you're making something overly grotesque or disturbing to the point of leaving someone scarred for life, even without showing blood at all.

Aside from things like that you can pretty much make anything as creepy as you want it. And blood's fine when used in moderation.

There's also a lot to be said for implying without going into detail.
