Okay, I know a few people that enjoy creating creepy looking locations. Blood on the wall, spider webs, torture chambers of horror. Full blown murder scenes. Locations that could fit into Silent Hill, Resident Evil, or the Hellraiser movies.
I know the goal is a T for Teen rating... so how horror inspired, gorey could we make the base builder? Could the bases be allowed to have blood splattered walls and dead bodies on the ground?

And here I thought you meant a guy selling copies of "An Inconvenient Truth."
Spurn all ye kindle.
To be rated T in the USA, a game must have blood, but no gore. To be rated T in some countries, you cannot go beyond animated, fake-looking blood. As CoT is trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator, the murder scene would probably look a little unrealistic in the gore department. Sure, we can have bodies, abandoned houses, and a few bones lying around, but all that gore is going to look like somebody spilled a few liters of Kool-Aid on the floor.
I hope that helps.

Yeah creating an atmosphere that is in the Creepy uncanny valley area would fit my and my friends desires. One reason I did state Silent Hill, and Resident evil. They created a good creepy location. Well at least before they started becoming monster shooters.

For what it's worth, I believe that gore would have detracted from most of Giger's stuff. Anyone who has seen "Aliens" ought to know that [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HighPressureBlood]high-pressure blood[/url] and jack-in-the-box scare tactics are not necessary to be creepy and scary. 'course, if you specifically want something that looks like ground zero for the Texas chainsaw massacre...

A cat-a-pult triggered when you enter a darkened room might add to the atmosphere of the base :p.
There's also the fact that online content isn't necessarily held to the rating of the game. That said you can always have ratings for bases as well, if your base has blood and viscera, rate it R, though obviously some things shouldn't be included, and this doesn't mean everything should be allowed, but I don't mind having a torture chamber that looks used...
