Horror gives:

Attacked by furniture: -5
The garden opens up and zombies crawl out: -7
The skies tear apart; the oceans turn to blood: -10

The Awful Truth strikes directly at your life or beliefs (e.g., your grandfather somehow became a ghoul and faked his death): -3

Knowing this information, or casting this spell, assuredly opens you or your loved ones up to evil, madness, or Things Man Was Not Meant To Know (e.g., your grandfather infected your children with the ghoul virus when he last visited you): -5

The Awful Truth has global scope (e.g., the ghoul cult has existed for centuries, and controls major healthcare institutions): -7

The Awful Truth strikes at the core of your identity (e.g., your grandfather initiated you into the ghoul cult as a child and erased your memory of it until now): -7
This knowledge, or spell, could destroy the world – perhaps it’s doing so right now (e.g., the ghoul cult has laced this year’s flu vaccine with the ghoul virus): -10

Under Dead Bodies

Number and Type of Dead: Finding a single human body, or witnessing one death, is considered the norm. Larger numbers (“Come here, sergeant, the basement’s packed with ’em!”) give -1; incredible numbers (an entire city) give -3. If the victim is an animal, a Fright Check is still required, but at +4. A skeleton gives no additional modifier, but a partially decomposed body gives an extra -2.
Proximity: Only the two extremes of distance give any modifier. An encounter at a great distance (more than a quarter-mile) is at +1; one at close quarters (you open the door and the body falls on top of you) is at -1.

Victim’s Relationship to Character:
-6 if the victim was a Dependent (p. B360) – but even if he wasn’t a Dependent, apply -4 for a loved one, -2 for a friend, or -1 for an acquaintance.

So falling into a huge pile of the partially decomposed bodies of your loved ones is -8.
