You may want to consider whether you've exhausted the 'nasty things' material you already have. Fleshing out your horror may help it come alive (or dead as the case may be)and present new ideas in the process. Think details, backgrounds, odors, the various shades of drying blood, etc. If you've told your readers there's a night sky, for example, have you filled it with stars or clouds?
Personally, I'd avoid collaboration with anyone but your characters at this point. They're not likely to sue for royalties or insist on scenes you'd rather not have written.
