Because seeing and recognizing is a lot less scary then implyied horrors you cannot really see.
You can look at PS1 graphics game today and they still somehow look more gory and more frightening.
Here a screenshot from a game called Iron Lung. This somehow looks way worse then anything in a modern artistic masterpiece like Scorn

Scorn is probably visually the best designed game of the last decade. Yet it does not evoke the horrors of the PS1 era for me. And I mean this with both shit like Quake 1 monsters.
It's all too realistic.
