It's kind of like how in some horror comics, the end result is never shown. The reader's imagination sometimes makes things much more horrible.
Example - In one of the Vault of Horror comics, a man throws a voodoo figure of his wife into the fire. You can only see his reaction in the very last panel. This leaves how the wife looks up to the reader which may be more horrible than what could have been drawn.

Its often criticised by old guys like me when the horror is too up front. then again sometimes that's equally good fun |
