Some horror can be the result of everything going wrong. A general powerlessness of the protagonists and slow creeping dread.
Other types are almost like True Crime in their capacity to reveal the depths to which human selfishness and greed can go. Stephen King supposedly used to have a scrapbook of serial killer news stories not so much as inspiration but as a method to steer clear of the sociopaths. Some folks aren't wired for empathy and unless they're properly indoctrinated they tend to go haywire in society.
Yeah HP Lovecraft had a really keen sort of cosmic horror or "Weird Fiction" where the truly horrible element was just how insignifigant man was in an uncaring universe.
Don't know how that would translate into empowerment fantasies at any rate.
As odd as it may sound a lot of FMG fiction already is a little horrific. Except the resultant withering and reduction of the formerly healthy male and the sudden expansion of the lady is a turn on instead of a cue for gory special effects.
Now gore has had it's time in the "Crunch and Munch" flavor of domination fiction. Not my bag of tea seeing folks ground as if they were in a car accident. Doesn't matter much to me that the source of said skull imploding forces are a woman's thighs or a drunk driver in a semi. 😐
The 'horror' you seem to be going for is sensationalistic and graphic shock value. The Clive Barker novel and initial film were so scary because it was mainly HUMAN passions that brought the dark angels to Earth. Some nitwit wanted the ultimate high of sensation so he found some key to hell and the rest is bad sequels. 👿
Then again SplatterHouse ranks amoung one of my favorite videogames just for the mindless zombie processing through violence.
Also are the Zombies going to be monsters you can kill without pity OR the former firends and heighbors you once knew come back from a violent end hungry for your living flesh?
I really liked "Danger Biological Hazard" and there was a small hint of wriggle room afor a sequel as the mutant rat got out in the end. "More" indeed.
Hmm only suggestion is to try to figure out if you're tryint to scare yourself or others with the story. Make usure that all the apllicable warnings apply as well NSFW, some scenes may cause hemmoraging and nightmares etc etc.
