Well, a lot of the problem with "horror" is that it tends to be reduced to just jump-scares and splatterpunk.
A wise man once said unto me thusly:
There's horror, terror, and splatterpunk.
Horror is that bump in the night, the shadow that crosses a moonlit window.
Terror is when what's making that sound reveals itself .. (jumpscares would be in this category)
Splatterpunk is the result/aftermath.
There's actually very little "horror" around.
