I agree that implied things can be just as scary, if not scarier, than the showing of a whole event. Especially when it comes to villains in certain movies. For example in Insidious I found it creepier when I wasn't sure what Face of Fire looked like, and just saw quick bits of him. When I actually saw him in detail I just thought he looked stupid. There doesn't need to be some graphically disgusting villain for it to be scary. H.P. Lovecraft says my point very well "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
