Giving this one a bump now that BodyHorror has been upgraded to a supertrope.
I tentatively suggest changing the name to Bloody Horror, even if it does toe the line of a {{Snowclone}} just because it has such a good ring to it, and it'd be easier to fit into sentances than Bloody Horrifying.

With a little tinkering this one is a shoo in. If you want a bunch of ready-to-go main body and examples, check out AfraidOfBlood, and strip mine it. That one is supposed to be about people fainting or freaking out at the sight of blood, but because this trope is missing every thing that belongs in this missing trope is being put there instead.

I'd suggest describing the trope this way: ''Playing blood for horror.'' 
Short, simple, and focused, but covers a pretty wide range of ''ways'' that it can be played for horror.

EDIT: Derp, Had AfraidOfBlood confused with ThePowerOfBlood for the one needing to be strip mined but otherwise the ideas the same, stuff in the wrong place because there is no place for it.
