Horror in BlueBeard
The components of horror in the story are clearly the points of interest in the tale. This is evident by the descriptions they get, such as "clotted blood" and "bloody basin filled with dead people who had been chopped to pieces". This is similar to the exaggerated imagery of magic in fairytales. While the fact that blood exists for the purpose of pushing the narrative forward, the detail is there for effect.

Interesting point that the detail of the blood is the same and has the same effect of the magical exaggeration.
