In the later Middle Ages and beyond, Gothic sculptures accomplished a variety of purposes in and through their 'scary' appearances. Perhaps the most significant was the ongoing reminder to those who passed them by (on their way to religious services or otherwise) of the mortality of humankind -- and the judgment that was considered to await those who passed from this life to the next.

What were sculptures used for in rome?

Certain sculptures were used for decorative purposes, but others were used as a form of communication. For example, a statue of an emperor or general would always tell the viewer something about him.
