From more research, I have found that there are lots of different sub genres in the over all horror category.
Here is my list of sub genres from Sub-Genres
Supernatural
Can include anything weird and creepy that cannot be found in the world, for instance - ghosts, monsters and zombies.
Dark Fantasy
Fantasy elements with a horror feel, often with a fantastical setting.
Sci-Fi Horror
A mix of horror and science fiction, usually including aliens, robots and space travel. For example the movie 'Alien' - the name gives it away.
Psychological Horror
Driven by a characters point of view, like their fear. Focusing on the psychological dread - like a murder.
Gothic
Has terror in romantic settings, including mysteries, castles, ghosts, madness and death.
Splatter-punk Horror
More of a horror extreme, has gory and graphic scenes intended to creep you out. For example the film 'Hostel'.
Satanic/Religious/Occult
Horror from certain beliefs and systems, normally involving demon positions and the darker side of pagan religions.
Erotic/Paranormal Romance
Horrifying situations with plenty of erotica and the supernatural/paranormal romance.
Suspense/Thriller
No supernatural aspects, just real life situations generating horror through serial killers
Weird Fiction
Fiction and blended the supernatural, mythical, and even scientific into stories that were ultimately strange, uncanny, or unreal in nature.
Speculative Fiction
No a subgenre but an umbrella term encompassing science fiction, fantasy, horror, superhero fiction, utopian/dystopian fiction, apocalyptic fiction, and alternate history literature
