I believe ambiguity is very important for fear, like Masahiro Ito's creatures - it's difficult to tell if they are human or inhuman, they are at an uncomfortable point between the two. This is related to the uncanny valley effect. He has also talked about using the ideas of simultaneous repulsion and attraction, the creatures of look deformed and corpse like but also have emphasized sexual features and are sometimes shown acting sexually. The idea of ambiguity can be used in lighting as well, you can use shadows to hide things and make the image less clear.
