They do in some horror movies.

It's all in the context. If you're in the middle of an over-the-top zombie, vampire, werewolf action adventure, seeing a gun isn't likely to be scary.
This is true. It depends on the setup. I saw a movie recently which I might review here, that when the character gets a gun it becomes even more scary because you know they are crazy and will use it. And not miss. They aren't the type to play around pointing a gun.
