Well for me.

That sounds to me like it could be quite a troubled, damaged state of your subconscious being.

I do reckon acid has a bit of an animalistic rage-edge somehow. Like it makes you feel the way a Piraña fish becomes manic and wild when it smells blood. But to me it is very dependant on the feelings present in the deeper layers of your mind/soul. If you are in a light, positive, fresh- emotional/mental state of being then your LSD trip is likely to be similair, only more extreme and magnified. If on the other hand you are in a heavy, dark, sad or bitter state of being then your LSD trip is likely to be of a similair nature, only more intensely so. Your LSD trip may be revealing/exposing a troubled, darkened, negatively charged part of your being of which you were totally unaware. This is why LSD (and other Entheogens) is so good at diagnosing mental ailments/wounds and, in turn allow you to heal them. By dissolving the ego it removes barriers which allow acces into previously unknown and long "forgotten" parts of your psyche/soul and it enables you to make connections you were previously unable to make. It allows exploration into the unexplored depths of our being that lay behind the Ego-barries that we usually can't cross in our Ego-dominated consensus daytime awareness. This is how LSD helps so many people (artists, Architects, Neurologists..etc) "reach their full potential" as is often said about LSD.

However high enough doses of Psilocybin Mushrooms can cause the same degree of Ego-dissolving and deep introspection. So the mushrooms can also make you aware of negatively charged parts of your being, resulting in the experience of negative sensations, emotions, thoughts and visions. That does not mean it has to be a Negative experience. That all depends on how you handle the experience
If you resist these sensations it will result in a negative experience of fear, sadness, confusion. If however you succeed it letting these negative sensations flow freely through you, they will flow through and out of you. And so you will be freed/healed from them.
This is the art of Entheogenic healing. And most human beings can learn it believe me.
I have trained myself with numerous psychedelic experiences (Mushrooms, LSD), once every 1, 2 or 3 month, gradually increasing the dose to learn this state of surrender where I let all sensations (negative or Positive) run freely through me, while I remain meditating in passive awareness. I now know my personal ideal doses of LSD, DMT and Mushrooms(not too high, not too low) and I now have the right mindset and approach to psychedelic experiences to no longer fear getting caught up in negative sensations. If you manage to achieve such a surrendered, meditative state of being during a psychedelic experience, suddenly the common, populair saying "Go WITH the Flow" makes alot more sense to you.

On LSD I have had visions of beautyfull, yet terrifying dragons, of beautyfull geometrical flower bookets overlaying the sky and all surfaces, I've seen gigantic mushrooms rotate in the sky, screaming faces emerge from behind the wall, as well as 100ds of airborne, illuminated, orb shaped beings that sing inredibly high pitched, healing chants/vibrations....etc

So the things I've seen on LSD were of a supernatural/magical nature; Both Dark and Light. Scary and Comforting at the same time. Usually mixed together in equal portions.

If you see blood and horror on LSD that might indicate that a certain part of your being/spirit is rather troubled and needs some special care/healing.
Ironically LSD can be used to heal that as well. If you face the horror and let it "come out of you" then you may one day be rid of it. Whatever it may be.
This blood and horror sounds to me like a reflection of troubled part of the self.
