Oh yes you can.

EDIT: Actually, I guess it depends on the person. Me? I don't find gore scary. Movies like "Friday the 13th" and "Elm Street" just can't creep me out. The gore factor is so ridiculously high that I cannot suspend disbelief. The movies that scare me are the movies where what you *don't* see is terrifying. "The Others", the original "The Haunting", films like that are what get me. I'm told that "Cold Creek Manor" is like that too, but I haven't had a chance to see it. But for me, the things I can conjure in my imagination are far scarier than what they put onscreen. So having things left to my imagination is a far better scare than having it placed disappointingly in front of me.
