Agree! Because your mind will always fill in the blanks and find the most scary thing that cannot be delivered directly. Typically the anticipation is the scarier part, or fear of the unknown, and being helpless as well.

I think this is one of the reasons horror in movies fails most of the time. Many movies have this perfect atmosphere and excellent build up of tension, then the big reveal is some overly animated CGI monster that "announces" itself by screaming into the camera, and the payoff is completely void at that point. At that point I usually sigh and then Captain Picard facepalm.
