Depending on where your line is for "too far", different types of horror could be played with. Like maybe you write something that psychologically scary (a mind-screw) and you avoid the gory physical horror. You could also imply the horror, setting up suspense and then giving just enough info to alert the reader of what's happening without describing it in detail. I have also heard the term "Fade to Black" (in a different context, but it could apply here), which is similar but you basically do everything normally and you cut your scene off before the really scary stuff happens.
