I think we need to diferentiate between supernatural horror and huma horror.

A vampire would be supernatural horror, a slasher human horror.

Supernatural horror, is, I think a sub set of fantasy in that it involves fntasy creatures (vampires, werewolves), and/or some sort of magical supernatural power. Dark fantasy has some of the gore and outright aim to scare/chill/repulse but uses other creatures and /or settings. A good recent example of this is Tim Lebbon's Dusk and Dawn novels. A classic dark fantasy is (in my view), "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

Though the line between supernatural horror and dark fantasy is very blurred,
I'm thinking of Clive Barker and Feist's "Faerie Tale."
