"Thanks..but don't tell me what it isn't tell me what horror is, then ..?"

A proper Horror movie is a film in witch the actors encounter something dangerous/deadly that is outside the scope of their everyday lives. And that whatever it is must be trying to kill them. I put movies like Aliens and in different categories because of their settings. Aliens aboard a spaceship is Si-Fi. Halloween in small town America is Horror.

Jaws a shark (no matter how big) is a natural occurrence and thus suspense.

Sounds like a resonable set of distinctions.
