For me, his stuff is kinda like H.P. Lovecraft's, in that what's unsettling are the concepts explored in the stories and how they relate to the metaphors/allegories they are (and where Ito beats Lovecraft is that at least his monsters don't boil down to allergories for miscegenation). I think the term used is Cosmic Horror.
And yeah the guy can draw some absolutely unhinged stuff in gruesome detail.
Manga/anime's aesthetics don't really lend themselves well to horror in general- I remember this old Mother's Basement video about that. Anime can do psychological horror decently well tho- I think the only anime I ever found actually scary were the original Higurashi and the first episode of Gakkou Gurashi (School Live).
