The structure '~rather than~'

It never takes itself seriously but doesn't go full on to cheeky parody mode either. I have to agree that like Shaun of the Dead or Tucker & DAle Vs Evil, this one has successfully blended a great comedy with a good horror flick. though I'll warn it's more about the good gore one finds rather than scares.

I have extracted some of the one of reviews about a zombie movie.
It looks to me like the object of "finds" and "scares" is "the good gore."
I can't understand how a movie can scare "the good gore."
So I'd like to hear your opinions about that.

Thank you in advance for your help.

The review is slangy, but I suppose that 'scares' is a plural noun: it's more about the good gore one finds rather than [about] scares.

Thank you for your valuable answer. Emotion: smile
Can "scare" have a plural form in the meaning used in my example?

Of course. The examples use 'a', so it must be countable. You should have figured that out yourself.

You should have figured that out yourself.
I thought I should always select the singular form in that meaning.

Why? I had two scares last week— one when my wife left me and another when she came back.
